I really like the color being a woman of color it is near to impossible to find hose the right color,it is exhausting!!!! I like wearing stockings  with dresses it makes the look complete to me instead of walking around in heels and having naked legs. I have purchased these hose for years from a certain well known store for some crazy reason the store stopped carrying the color T hat I need, so here I am on a Sunday morning hurrying to get dressed and low and behold rip happens WHY?!?!?!  These stockings will not go all the way up Are they irregulars?? I have not gained weight changed sizes, but the stockings would not go up without ripping I was in a hurry but I do  take my time when it comes to my hose.
