Socquettes en dentelle blanche, Leg Avenue

I love these. Having tree trunks for legs I get very frustrated when I want to add to costumes with stockings. Knee-high socks, however, these made me feel perfect. The material is lovely soft and the boyfriend loved me running my feet up and down his legs.

Go well with lots of different outfits also, so massive bonus.

How times have changed. I remember going to school and my mother giving me a pair of frilly socks to put on. Being a tom boy, I was far from impressed and hated my frilly socks. Fast forward 25 years and I fell in love with frilly socks! When I saw these on the website I knew I had to have them.

They arrived quickly and discreetly. Not that these need to be discreet as they're socks! Tucked inside the boring box was a clear pack with a sock shaped piece of card. The socks were perfectly placed over the card so the lace pattern was exposed to its full potential. The packing was a little peculiar as it gave a weight guide rather than a shoe size. I have rather large feet and I am heavier than the weight guide on the pack. Yet these fit beautifully.

I have a very broad foot and usually take a UK8. There are times where I do go up to a 9 or 10, depending on brands. The lace stretched without being stretched to its limit. The elastic round the ankle was comfortable. It didn't dig in nor did the socks fall down. The seam ran down the back onto the sole of the foot. I isn't uncomfortable or annoying. Perfect for all day wear!

I wear these with dresses and flats. I have worn them with heels, and even just round the house. My husband has a bit of a foot fetish and these socks really do it for him. I just need to put these babies on and he's putty in my hands.

There is nothing bad about these at all. I love them, they are sexy yet cute, practical and comfortable and such value for money. These are an excellent addition when looking to make up your order for delivery charges!

My wife has developed a love for the socks that Lovehoney stock since she discovered that they sell them. So, we had put an order in and needed to make the order up to qualify for the free postage, so my wife ordered the Leg Avenue White Lace Ankle Socks.

The socks arrived with the rest of our order in a sealed plain discreet brown box with just a white label with your own address. This does help keep hidden what is inside so your parcel so you complete discretion. The parcel arrived safe and securely using the Royal Mail tracked 48 service that Lovehoney provide.

The socks arrive inside a clear plastic packet. The socks are fitted on a sock shape card. There is a cardboard sleeve over the socks with a product picture on the front. On the reverse there is a brief description of the socks, alongside the washing instruction and a lovely little leg avenue hologram sticker. The socks are made from 100% nylon.

The lace white socks have a generous ankle band with a floral lace frill and scalloped edging. The ankle band leads down to the floral lace foot of the sock. There is a seam running from the toes down the base of the foot and back to the ankle band.

My wife loves these socks as she feels they are very retro and would suit a 50s style dress.

The socks are one size fits all. My wife is shoe size seven and the elastic in the ankle cuff is the right amount of tightness, as they stay round the ankle without slipping down but without the elastic digging in. The socks are well made and the stitching has been sewn very well. They do feel like they won't tear easily.

To wash the socks, Leg Avenue recommend hand wash warm only. My wife washed the socks and found it had no effect on the socks at all regarding shrinkage.

For the cost of £3.99, these are excellent value for these lovely lace ankle socks that can be worn as bedroom socks or to wear as stand out frilly socks.

One of the reasons my wife loves these particular socks so much is she feels they are very retro and would suit a 50s style dress.

Overall, these our lovely little pair of lace ankle socks that can be worn in the bedroom to complement a maid or schoolgirl outfits. Or just worn as fashion socks when out. A lovely pair of heels finishes them off perfectly.
