I have bought these stockings twice in the past year to wear with my open bottom girdles (item #4519) and I think they are.terrific. It is not only hard to find nice stockings these days but it is even harder to find them to fit someone like myself who is almost 6 ft tall. These stockings have a great look, fit and feel and I would not think of buying my stockings anywhere but with National in the future.

      Comments about Sheer Stretch Stocking by National®:

      I've seen other reviewers comment negatively on sizing.

      A National sales lady helped me select my size and it fits fine. I 5'8" 130#. I have a 32 inch inseam. I buy size C. and wear them most often with a Crownette garter belt which National also sells.

      Buy a dozen and they're less than $3/pair.

      I don't know what I'll do if National stops carrying these! They're long lasting and comfortable.

            Comments about Sheer Stretch Stocking by National®:

            I'm not National's typical customer - I'm into retro fashion and wear vintage stockings and lingerie every day. Stockings wear out quickly in the winter, however, and I've had trouble finding some that were inexpensive and durable. For the price, these can't be beat.

            While the heel and toe are reinforced, the sole of your foot is not. Some holes have resulted from my shoes rubbing, but somehow these holes haven't developed into full-fledged runs that travel up the leg. Will definitely be purchasing these again next winter. For what you would spend on one pair of fully fashioned stockings you could buy a dozen of these.

              I usued to wear the style 400s all time, they have been discontinued so I tried the 900s, they feel good, fit nice and I like the colors, should have a coffeebean shade though. You should sell them in 3 pair packages so one can try different colors. I have always liked the reinforced heel and toe and wear them with all styles of shoes, Please don't stop selling these.

                    i liked the 400 style best, the 900 stockings do wear well, comfy and sheer. i wear stockings everyday and love the fact that i can run one and only replace that one. highly recomend them.

                      I have always worn stockings because I do not like pantyhose. This brand wears like steel and can be worn multiple times without loosing its shape. The only downside is they do not come in mocha, but if you like the colors they have, you should buy these.

                        I have finally found the stockings I was looking for.
                        I prefer a bit heavier than the normal denier stockings available locally. These are exactly how I pictured them. And, a very reasonable price.
                        They fit and last well, and make my legs look great!

                        wears small for size. order a size large to fit properly. a lot depends on how low you like to wear your garters. I like them high on the thigh.

                          I wear these hose every day. I like the fact that they are garter fastened hosiery.
                          I just wish that they were made without a heel. It would make it so much better when wearing open heeled shoes.
                          Also, They discontinued the color I used all the time and I would like to see it put back in service!

                              A number of years ago I purchased several pairs of National stockings and I was very satisfied with them. Recently, I needed replacements so I turned to National once again. I am very satisfied with my new purchases. I like the color choices. I wear stockings every day. The stockings wear very well. They look and feel very good on my legs.

                                It is the best I can find for garter stockings. They are comfortable. They do not always stay in place by which I mean they pop off the garter and they do not last as long as I would like because they run easily. However, it is a very good stocking so please keep selling it and I will keep buying it. Can you possible make 1 more size for really long and fat legs?

                                Reinforced toe and heel help to prevent snags. Nice stretch for 100% nylon. Welt has good reinforcement . These look and feel better than the price.
