These candy cane stockings are thicker than most stockings, so the white and red stay white and red (I can't see my leg through them). I have short legs and thick thighs (4'11", 105 lbs), and they fit me just fine. The bows in front give an elegant twist, creating the perfect Christmas outfit. With these stockings, I don't need to buy a separate "holiday" dress. I can just slip these on with my short white dress--or really, any Christmas top and bottom.

Note that these stockings don't have grip on them, so they may slip down if you move around a lot.
