It takes a while to receive orders from Poland, but we couldn’t wait to share what styles we are expecting in a couple of weeks (probably 3 weeks).
Dezire polka dot pantyhose from Fiore has become popular for its subtle pattern, and we couldn’t resist bringing another polka dot style from Marilyn’s limited Spring/Summer collection.
This style comes in black and pearl colors. We don’t know if the pearl color has black dots yet but can’t wait to find out.
Flores from Marilyn
Nothing screams “Spring” more than these lacy Darla tights from Trasparenze’s new Spring/Summer Collection. They are gorgeous and so romantic!
They will be available in our shop next week. 🙂

We are going to introduce a new style pantyhose in our shop this month.
Christine 30 Denier Pantyhose from Trasparenze’s Classic Line:
These pantyhose seem to have been undeservedly neglected by the leading online hosiery stores – we were able to find only one shop that carries this style. How it caught our attention? Well, it wasn’t us. In fact, it was our dear customer who noticed them on the Trasparenze’s official website. The description that the manufacturer provides is nothing special. It says:
“Double-covered, sheer body, cotton gusset, flat seams, shaped. Reinforced toe. Also available in maxi with rear gusset.”
While they do include all the nice features for daily-wear pantyhose, the feature that caught attention of our customer was the content of Lycra or elasthane. It is 21%. Normally, this high elasthane content means very good durability and sometimes even compression. Not bad for 30 Denier pantyhose.
We decided to get a test pair to see what Christine looks and feels like in person.
The packet has the same picture as shown above, but it has more description on it than usual with Trasparenze’s hosiery. Another fun fact is that Trasparenze didn’t include this description on their website. Wonder what it says?
“Graduated compression tights with Lycra against weariness. Soft and strong…”
We believe THIS is why this pantyhose has been neglected – the picture doesn’t show anything exciting and the manufacturer’s description on the website isn’t shining. Our tester was happy to report that these pantyhose are top quality – they have this compression effect to prevent your legs from getting tired during the day (“stress” translated by Italians as “weariness”); they are sheer to waist; they are fully boarded (shaped); they are made from double-covered yarns to make them last longer; and they come in XL size.
Trasparenze offers this pantyhose in 10 colors: Anthracite, Beaver, Black, Chocolate, Clear (Chiaro), Coral, Cosmetic, Mid-Gray, Mud, Sinfonie.
We are sure Christine is going to become another favorite. 🙂

If you have drawers full of fancy patterned tights and socks but don’t really know how to wear them, the following videos from Femozione featuring their previous collections may inspire you. If inspiration is not a problem, then you will just enjoy watching this simple elegance created by Japanese designers.
Femozione is a Fukuske Corporation-owned hosiery brand. Their collections scream elegance and glamour, and can’t leave you indifferent.
Unfortunately, the company does not export their hosiery and only distributes in Japan. But we at least can watch and enjoy. 🙂
For their newest collection, Spring/Summer 2011, please visit Femozione official website.
The Best Pantyhose Review blogger made a video review for Fiore Inga tights (for which we would like to thank them!).
Hope you find it helpful!
Watch live video from Best Pantyhose Review on Justin.tv
Like the reviewer mentioned, the gloss can’t be seen in the video, but these tights have a pretty satin gloss, and you could totally rock in them at a party! The pattern is unusual and will draw attention, and can accentuate shoes.
Fiore Inga tights can be purchased here.

Remember the days when your mom wouldn’t even vacuum the house without wearing a pair of stockings and garter belt? When did the things change? Back in 1980’s, I remember my thrill when my mom got me a pair of pantyhose with polka dots. I grew up in a society where pants, jeans, shorts or any sort of such clothing were forbidden for women. You could wear only dresses and skirts that would at least cover your knees. Of course, you had to have quite a few pairs of hosiery to match your outfits and different seasons. Meanwhile, the USA was undergoing cultural changes and television influences, and hosiery went to the back stage. Jeans and shirts were found more comfortable than skirts and heels, and that pair of stockings was considered an unnecessary hassle. It didn’t even last a couple of wears after all. In 1990’s, the stars of Sex and The City brought a new trend in – bare legs, and everyone happily followed it. Yeah, my legs don’t look perfect and aren’t even tanned… so what? It’s trendy, though!
How did it happen that men (!) have become a number one consumer of hosiery in the past decade? Maybe men were trying to fill that gap of not seeing women’s legs in pretty stockings. After all, it was one of the most feminine items in a woman’s wardrobe. Admit it, ladies, very few men would disagree that a woman in stockings is unattractive. You may have many flaws but wear a pair of silky stockings or thigh-highs, and you will find that your man is looking at you as if you are a super star from a fashion magazine. He’ll instantly change his attitude!
In the recent years, several fashion houses created collections with an accent on hosiery.
Celebrities started showing up in hosiery of various styles (I won’t overload this blog with photos – there are too many!)
There is no doubt that hosiery is becoming one of the essential parts of a wardrobe. You will find yourself trying to find matching shoes and clothes for that pair of fancy tights in vibrant colors and delightful patterns, instead of just grabbing a pair of those plain old pantyhose that will work okay with your new dress or pumps.
Finally, hosiery has taken the place it deserved.
Treat yourself to some stockings, and stay foxy!
We finally got some new hosiery from Fiore!
Although most of the new hosiery was ordered by request of our local customers, we also got some extras. We love the Exclusive Golden Line Collection with 3D patterns. They are incredibly soft and beautiful (Malena, Vivienne, Elsa).
We added some patterned and colored tights and leggings from the Street Collection (Inga patterned tights, Giana patterned tights, Luana stripe-pattern tights, Kaya colored plain tights, Vika leggings).
We also got some of the patterned hosiery from Golden Line (Tiffany thigh-highs, Roselin with pretty floral pattern on the sides, Rica with pretty flower pattern on ankles and thighs, Dezire polka dot pantyhose, Sue with a pattern on the sides), and even got some of Fiore’s shaping tights.
By the way, the shaping tights were reviewed by TightsFashion.co.uk and got a very good rating (Fit-Control 40, Medica 40).
A separate line should be given to Idalia. TightsFashion.co.uk compared them to Falke in looks and quality. Quite a steal for under $10!
And finally, a look that you can create with another pair of tights for under $10. 
I love Sophie Ellis Bextor’s music. I also love how she dresses. Okay, I may be biased (because she is so gorgeous), but still.
You can easily create a similar look with Kaya tights in yellow and some yellow accessory. That will instantly add a splash of yummy color to your outfit.
Diane Kruger in polka dot pantyhose:
Who doesn’t like polka dots?! They are so cute, you can’t resist. This celebrity look is easy to create with a dress and these polka dot Dezire pantyhose under $10.
As always, we will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about our hosiery.
Stay foxy!
