It sucks that the weather is now starting to turn, which means I am slowly starting to move towards longer sleeved dresses, and adding chunky knits on top. Today I refuse to go there, and just want to dress up to make me feel better about the change of weather!

Trying to do a transition from Summer to Autumn with this look. I went with my yellow floral dress, paired with my rivet court shoes to keep it simple and let the seams at the back work their magic.

The Packaging

Getting Them On: after a scrunch and roll, these were ready to be rolled on. I made sure to keep away from the anklets before putting them closer to my skin to do the seams. I took my time so I am able to get them as straight as possible, before clasping them in place.

On The Legs: okay we are loving these baby! I love that the nude shade suits my skin tone well, so it blends nicely and evenly. The backseam is a super statement piece here, especially as it was stitched in after, so it pops out and creates this dense line.

The quality has been really good on this pair. I haven’t managed to snag these once, let alone damage them any other way. I was super pleased as I wanted to keep these as pristine as I could, so it would allow more wear time!

The fit of these are spot on; I had enough stretch in these for me to sit them as high or low as I like, without it being tugged at too hard. These also sat flush on the skin, with no wrinkling or gapping anywhere either.

The feel of these are super soft, and really smooth on the skin (and to touch too). The backseam does mark your skin if you sit on it for too long, but it does fade away eventually as you walk along.

The Toes & Ankle: so the toes are covered with a big reinforced part, which leads to a sole panel and the works into a heel reinforcement curve before going into a seam. I love when people make seams like this; it adds so much to the pair with minimal effort really. The backs of the heels were hidden in my heels, but I didn’t mind that to be honest.

Around the toes, I had plenty of wiggle room, and no pressure was added during my wear. Around the feet and ankles, these were kept smooth and wrinkle free.

The Bands: now these bands are awesome. I love a band where it’s slimline and is barely there, like this one below.

Don’t get me wrong, it can be hard to clasp onto at times as you want to make sure you’re gripping that black band instead of the stockings. But this is where you need to take some time to get it right before setting off, as I have had it where it’s clasped onto the thinner denier and teared right through it.

These clasp on super well, and don’t move until I let them go, which is what you want in any stocking welt to be honest.

My Thoughts?

Yep I am a happy bunny with this pair! I love how simple yet striking they are, especially when paired with a floral dress. I usually keep my outfit simple when doing backseams, but today I wanted to try something different. Anyways, I love the quality, I love the feel, the finish and everything about these!
