These stockings are very nice, I purchase them to wear to work at an office. Theyre great for winter months because they're thicker than standard stockings and they really do hold everything in place!!! Im 56, 130 lbs, the small fits perfectly. My only pain point with these is that Ive bought a LOT of pairs, and they all had the same issue: even wearing them to and from the office and putting average to low pressure on them, they all developed holes in the toes after maybe a week or two, and thats with me spending the majority of my time sitting at a desk! I cant imagine how quickly these would wear out if I were dancing in them (which is what they're designed for). I expect higher quality from a dance company.
