Stockings for short legs
Hi - I am trying to find some stockings for short legs. I’m 5’2” with a very short inseam (around 25” inseam, so I even have to get petite pants shortened). I don’t care if they have the silicone grip or not. I’m actually looking to buy some of both styles: ones that stay up with the silicone, and ones that require a garter. I’m looking primarily for black (sheer and opaque), or black fishnet. Any colors will do at this point (except nude…not a fan of nude stockings for me because they remind me of when I had to wear pantyhose for work). I also don’t like super shiny, like the oil slick material.
These are mainly just for fun so I’d like to keep them under $25 per pair. I’d actually prefer $10-$20 range. But I would pay significantly more for nice black opaque stockings that I can wear in the fall/winter.
My main issue is that I’m short but not petite…I wear a size 12-14 US, 36G.
Or, if you have a favorite pair that are ultra luxurious and worth the splurge, let me know! I’d like to splurge on an extra special pair just because they feel good.
My favorite brand for tights is Commando. I love their silky waistband that does not dig in to my stomach. I have a pair of their black opaque thigh high stockings and really like them too. I have their full length fishnet stockings too and they are really nice and sturdy. Just wanted to give back a recommendation to the sub along with my request.
TLDR: I’m short, have short legs and need some recommendations for short stockings. I’m not petite in general sizing, but I’m also not plus sized. I’m in a weird size void.
Thanks for your help!
