As a pear-shaped, plus size woman, I am often frustrated by tight shopping. Although there are more plus sized options than ever, a lot of them cater to more of an apple shape and only add extra fabric to the belly area. Consider this my plea for some kind of warning on the package (or better yet, the website for online purchases) that the thighs are narrow and the extra fabric only shows up around,the waist. (Lane Bryant, I’m looking at you)
I like it, it brings your shape out very well. I wish I can get it in 18.
I buy my plus size hosiery from thetightspot.com they stock glamory and some funky, not expensive fashion by pamlea mann which I love for their opaques too – always nice finish and fit for my dress size 24.
