When plus size women shop for hosiery it is especially important for her to use her correct weight. Hosiery is sized by weight and height, and even if these sizes are not always accurate, a woman stands a much better chance of finding comfortable hosiery if she's honest about her size. This is more important than height when it comes to comfort. A woman has some options if the legs are too long--she doesn't have many if the stockings are too tight. Whatever your size, there is a variety of queen size hosiery and plus size hosiery that will fit you!
The next thing to do is look at the height on the sizing options This can be subjective, since some short women have relatively long legs and some tall women have relatively short legs. It's best to go larger because youcan always roll the waistband over a couple of inches, to decrease the length, whereas there is no way to make a pair of too-short stockings comfortable. So, longer is better than shorter.
If you wear pants or long skirts most of the time, stockings that are a little large will be hardly noticeable. If you wear dresses you will need to wear hosiery that is the correct size. If you are wearing hosiery with lingerie you will want to make sure it's the correct size. Wearing a size that is too big or too small may reduce the sexiness factor. It's easier to look sexy if you are not readjusting the whole time!
Many plus-size stores sell hosiery, but it is expensive. A woman who wears stockings on a daily basis should either wait for a big sale and stock up then, or try to find hosiery in her size elsewhere. Sometimes, discount stores will carry hosiery by more manufacturers and she may have some choices here. She should look for "woman's-sized" hosiery rather than just plus-sized, and for a manufacturer who has a whole line of woman's-sized hosiery. If she's not wearing them often, she will probably get her money's worth from them, since they are much more likely to fit properly.
Many plus-sized women can wear average-sized knee highs and trouser socks, but many also have to look for plus-sizes in these, since they may constrict the area around the knees if they are too snug. She should compare sizes and prices and not be satisfied with stockings that are uncomfortable or too expensive.
