There are actually 2 similar styles, which the listing does not make clear. However, the photos seem accurate. One is a sheer style, which is not hemmed (the images show this accurately for the black), and seems like it won't last very long. The other is NOT sheer, the #2 variety. I purchased a sheer black and a Brown #2. I wear US Medium and both fit as expected. The sheer black was just cut nylon, like stockings. From a distance, it looks good. Not so much close up. The Brown #2 is not so revealing, but has MUCH better construction, and looks good from any distance. It is hemmed, and the front and back overlap at the hip. It has a silky feel and seems to have better construction. It does tend to ride up, but I'm not sure that's a bad thing. I recommend the silky style over the sheer. I just wish there were a Red #2.
