Bas résille haut dentelle grande taille rouges, Lovehoney

Lovehoney very kindly sent these stockings as a secret tester for me to try. I think they must know me so well, as fishnets are my absolute favourite kind of stockings - but up to now, I have never owned red ones.

The parcel arrived as per schedule, plainly wrapped in a brown jiffy bag. Inside the bag the stockings are encased in a typically tasteful Lovehoney box. All secure and no sign of any damage during transit.

I took one look at the stockings once off of their cardboard insert and I was in love. Fishnet and lace - what more could a girl want?- apart from quality, and these have that too. A lovely vibrant red which will look stunning for most skin tones I would suggest.

I am a size 16/18 and stand approx 5’11” tall, and for the purposes of testing was sent the Plus Size. Being fishnet these stockings have oodles of stretch and will fit pretty much any length of leg. The lace band, which is oh so pretty, is fairly generous and I found very comfortable. Once attached to suspenders the look is complete. The toes are also fishnet, so you may well find yourself poking through at some point - to be honest, this is the only thing I think could be improved and would make these stockings perfect.

Very striking and make a nice change from my usual choice of black. The colour does mean a little consideration needs to be made when deciding what to team them up with - but that’s all part of the fun - isn’t it?

I ordered these red fishnet stockings to go with the red silk chemise I ordered to wear on Christmas afternoon for me and my hubby. I am a size 16/18 and 5-4". When I put the stockings on they pulled right up to the top of my thigh, so I had to readjust them by pulling them down slightly so they were part way down my thigh and I could get my suspenders attached to them.

Once adjusted and hooked onto suspenders they looked amazing but did feel too big on me. I think next time I will try the normal sized ones rather than plus size as my legs are larger than average but not too chunky!

Overall these are well made super sexy stockings and after being worn twice they still look good as new no snags etc.

Well made stockings for a low price, plenty of give in the leg, just a shame the lace around the top is quite tight.

No good for big thighs like my own! I would need to go for a considerably larger size, which unfortunately is not an option.

I am a size 22, so I thought I may have been pushing my luck anyway haha,
