I am 5'3" and weigh 125, the stockings are meant to be worn with a garter belt and for me are really the perfect height hitting above the knee.  The elastic top is a bit tight, and if it hit any higher on my leg I would have a muffin top over it - this might be a problem for anyone with larger thighs.  Also, if you're any taller these might hit you too low on the leg.  The fabric is durable, but a bit scratchy.  Overall however, I LOVE how these look.
