An abundance of new hosiery in my closet

I have bought a lot of hosiery and all the lingerie that comes with it for years and I am bursting at the seams with all of it. I decided that I would clear out my closets and sell my wears on EBAY. If anyone would like the kink to see my stuff just email me and then I will send it to you :)

Review: Wolford Velvet de Luxe 50 Stay-Up

"Velvety soft opaque stay-up in a luxurious Velvet material.An exceptionally smooth, matt look, excellent stretch and a perfect fit."

Above is description that Wolford has written about these stockings and they are 100 percent correct. They are $45.00 and for that price I got my legs to look more exceptional than they ever have before. These definately make me feel suoer sexy.

Review: Leg Avenue Lycra opaque with zipper

These stockings are very opaque and tight at the top. They are soft but not quality. They feel like they want to fall down even with a garter belt. I really wanted these to fit better but they just didn't.

Denier

The term "Denier" indicates how sheer a piece of hosiery is. Basically, the lower the denier, the more sheer the hosiery and vice versa. You need to decide if you prefer a lighter and less saturated or a more covered and "thicker" look.
It works like this:
 
Ultra Sheer -- less than 10 denier It gives the appearance of bare legs. Perfect for summertime without making your legs and butt sweat in the hot weather. Ultra sheer hosiery is subtle and very elegant.

Sheer -- 10 - 20 denier
It is stronger than ultra sheer with a similar look and must be the reason why it's the most popular denier range. Sheer evens out the appearance of your legs. Practical for everyday wear and looks elegant for evening.

Semi-opaque -- 25- 35 denier It's stronger and longer lasting than sheer. Still elegant for dressy occasions (you can still see your legs through the weave). Warmer than sheer, but not yet opaque.

Opaque -- 40 denier ++ Very durable and long lasting, practical for everyday wear. Very warm, ideal when you want to wear a skirt in cold weather. It completely covers the leg, so you cannot see your skin through the weave.

This is helpful :)

• Cuban heel: A stocking with a heel made with folded over and sewn reinforcement.
• Demi-toe: Stockings which have a reinforced toe with half the coverage on top as on the bottom. This results in a reinforcement that covers only the tip of the toes as opposed to the whole toe. These can be with or without a reinforced heel.
• Denier: The lower the denier number the sheerer the garment. Stockings knitted with a higher denier tend to be less sheer but more durable.
• Fishnet (material): Knitted stockings with a very wide open knit resembling a fish net.
• Fencenet: Similar to fishnet, but with a much wider pattern. These are sometimes worn over another pair of stockings or pantyhose, such as matte or opaque, with a contrasting colour. Sometimes referred to as whalenets.
• Full Fashioned: Fully-fashioned stockings are knitted flat, the material is then cut and the two sides are then united by a seam up the back. Fully-fashioned stockings were the most popular style until the 1960s.
• Hold-ups or Stay-ups: Stockings that are held up by sewn-in elasticated bands (quite often a wide lace top band). In the US they are refrred to as thigh-highs.
• Knee-Highs: Stockings that terminate at or just barely below the knee. Also known as half-stockings, trouser socks, or socks.
• Matte: Stockings which have a dull or non-lustre finish.
• Mock seam: A false seam sewn into the back of a seamless stocking.
• Nude heel: Stockings without reinforcement in the heel area.
• Opaque: Stockings made of yarn which give them a heavier appearance (usually 40 denier or greater).
• RHT: Abbreviation of reinforced heel and toe.
• Open-toed: Stockings that stop at the base of the toe with a piece that goes between the first and second toes to hold them down. They can be worn with some open-toed shoes, especially to show off pedicured toes.
• Sandalfoot: Stockings with a nude toe, meaning no heavier yarn in the toe than is in the leg.
• Seamed: Stockings manufactured in the old Full-Fashioned manner with a seam running up the back of the leg. In the past they were manufactured by cutting the fabric and then sewing it together. Today stockings are generally fully knitted and a fake or mock seam is added up the back for a particular fashion look.
• Seamless: Stockings knit in one operation on circular machines (one continuous operation) so that no seaming is required up the back.
• Sheers: Stockings generally of a 15 to 20 denier.
• Thigh-Highs: Stockings that terminate somewhere in the mid-thigh.
• Ultra Sheer: A fine denier fiber which gives the ultimate in sheerness. Usually 10 denier.
• Welt: A fabric knitted separately and machine-sewn to the top of a stocking. Knit in a heavier denier yarn and folded double to give strength for supporter fastening.
