Bought several of these Berkshire QP pantyhoses for my mother-in-law and she really liked them, but I bought the size following the size chart (considering height/weight) and they were a bit short for her (and she is NOT -at all- a tall lady, quite the opposite). So, I just ordered two more in the 1X-2X hoping these do fit her comfortably (since the chart indicates 1X-2X are for taller people). These help -in regards to compression- for her varicose veins. My only complaint is the sizing. These pantyhoses would probably be great for little people, because my mother-in-law is 5' tall and the QP were short on her. Would still recommend buying, if you can figure out the correct size for you.
