I ordered the black version of these stockings - they are thin, very much see-through. Each leg goes on individually, the hip part is a suspender for each leg. THE SIZING IS A LIE. I am a 200 lb 5'7" woman and this does not fit, even though it is labeled to fit up to 250 lbs. My suggestion would be to try Dreamgirls hosiery - I can often fit in their standard sizes, while Leg Avenue and Music Legs products are made for small people.
