I love this fabric. It's like tights almost but thicker and less easy to snag. It has a diamond dot embroidered pattern all over which also makes it more durable. I topped them with some vintage white lace. The bottom is a stirrup so you can wear them with your regular socks and they will cover them. They also look great alone with an open toe shoe. There is lingerie elastic at the top of the tights to help them stay up without pinching the leg. These are made to fit tight up the leg so they stay up but not uncomfortable
