I'm not a Plus-Size girl (I'm 5'7 and weight 145) but I find that normal-size thigh-highs cut into my thighs and give me a sausage look. Not sexy. These are perfect - they always stay up, they are very comfortable, and they are very smooth with a great color and just the right amount of shine. Much more comfortable than pantyhose, and can be used in a office-setting or the bedroom!
