It is thicker than I thought it would be. It fits perfectly on me I'm 5'9 and 177lbs, that was like right below the cut off point for these...so if you're heavier than 178 and taller than 5'10 i wouldn't invest in them. But hey if you fit into the criteria don't pass these up. Like with all stockings you have to put them on gently if you want it to last. It even says that on the package. It came really quickly too. I received it 2 days after my order :-) I am very pleased. The price was a bit steep but after feeling the fabric it well worth it, plus i'm sure it's also a bit pricey because stockings are in style at the moment lol.
