Most plus size women will have difficulty at some point in time finding clothes and accessories that fit them properly and hosiery is no exception. You might be one of the women who have tried to squeeeze into a pair of pantyhose or thigh high stockings and probably ended up being uncomfortable while wearing them. It's best to search for a piece of hosiery that is within your size range. If you fall in between sizes, or is closer to the larger end of a size range, she may be more comfortable choosing a larger size. 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. What about the woman who wears stockings once a week, or less? She would probably be best served by going to the specialty stores and buying a single pair of stockings she knows will fit. 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.
