What type of hoisery to wear?

[Nuncie]

I am cruising on RCL in March and I need to wear hoisery to dinner because the dining rooms are so cold. I need some recommendations for sheer and the most comfortable ones.

[From a land down under]

Pantyhose are much of a muchness and personal preference. The only difference I can add is that at Macys/Bloomies etc you can get open toe sheer panyhose for peep toe shoes/sandals. They have a small sheer thread to go between your big and second toe like a flip flop.

I once bought Christian Dior pantyhose for a ball and they shredded as soon as I put them on, I personally wouldn't spend alot of money on sheer pantyhose again...

I recommend No Nonsense brand, "Almost Bare" style, with lace hi-cut panty. Sheer, light-weight, sexy, and inexpensive.

Have you been in an RCCL dining room on a previous cruise? I only ask because though most posts here are of the "dining room is freezing" variety, as a person that is ALWAYS cold, I never was even slightly chilled in the dining room on either of our cruises. I took wraps, but never needed them, and I wore sleeveless every single night. No hose, sleeveless, and no wrap...our dining room (AOS) was extremely comfortable.

I never wear hoisery since I wear sandals, but for comfort and appearance I recommend Hanes. I usually looks for sales or find them at discount stores.

I love Hanes Silks Sandalfoot. Lots of Lycra which is great for leg shaping and the French lace high cut panty is very comfotable. They are a "middle of the road" price.

[on board]

I buy mine from Victoria Secret and Macy's when I do wear them. I never wear hose on a cruise because I fake and bake before I take my cruise and then I tan so easy so I am dark enough that I don't really need them.

I can appreciate that wearing a skirt leaves a lady's legs and thighs rather more vulnerable to winter cold, but given the availability of warm hosiery

Thank you Derf..I enjoyed the article on Trouser Ban, it was hilarious!

I love the British, they can expertly write a novel about something as inocuous as pants versus skirts and turn it into a revolution. Too bad our fervent jean supporters weren't as eloquent.:D

I have tried almost every brand of hosiery and the sheerest, smoothest, and still silkiest brand is Phillipe Matignon-Summertime. You can find this brand and order them on line at http://www.shapings.com The black (noir) is virtually see through and will just give a glimpse of color.

j word

Can be used in place of, "really?"

 

Chick: "Ohhhh eemmmm geeee, did you here? That guy jumped out of a window!"

Guy: "Oh, J word?"
