VienneMilano Lingerie: Stockings Review

Disclosure: this post contains affiliate links.

I received a carefully crafted pair of sheer nylon and lace stockings from luxury lingerie shop VienneMilano for review. These, one of their bestselling items, are called the Isabella Sheer Thigh Highs.

The Isabella stockings are available in ten colors and six sizes. I'm wearing the classic black in size Small. Sizing is based on height, weight, and thigh circumference.

VienneMilano offers a meticulous fit guide to help you figure out which size you'll need. I wondered why there is no Medium, but the Small fits well on me even though I am at the higher end of it in height and weight.

It's nice to see that the Isabella stockings have a size-inclusive range that will fit a majority of women, from very petite to plus-size. Sizes go from 1XSmall to 3XLarge.

Sheer nylon with a reinforced toe comes to above the knee, where the lace top begins and is held in place at mid- to upper-thigh with a silicone band inside. The silicone helps the stockings stay up fairly well, although I did have one of them slip down (only on the right leg for some reason...?). I was able to solve this by pulling them up a little higher on my thighs. So the top edge of the lace ends up slightly above where it looks to be on the models, but not so high that it's at crotch level.

VienneMilano stockings are made in small batches in Italy. The difference in quality between these and a standard pair you'd pick up for $10 or $15 in a US department store is very apparent.

Not that there's anything wrong with spending less, which is why it's worth your time and attention to keep track of when luxury lingerie items like this are on sale. You deserve it just as much as whoever can afford to drop a ton of $$ without even thinking about it.

As you can see from the pic below, pulling on the lace doesn't rip it apart or cause any runs in the nylon. These stockings may look delicate, but they are up to the task of dealing with you and your life.

Which is necessary for anything that I'm wearing, because I'm kind of a hot mess. Now when am I going to stop trying to bring the '90s back with the leopard print and ivory kitten heels. Okay, we can talk about that later.

I give the Isabella sheer thigh highs five stars.
