- When I was younger (through early high school) I used to raid my mother's
- things so that I could CD when I was at home alone. One of the things I liked
- most, I remember, was stockings. They always felt very good on my skin, and
- just "seemed" like femininity to me.
- Now that I practice CDing on a semi-regular basis, and buy my own things,
- I would like to get some hosiery to wear with it, because of the fantastic
- feeling it gave me, and sometimes, when I want to be a little daring, I could
- even wear them under sweatclothes or jeans, since I still live in my
- boyclothes to appease society.
-
- However, this leads me to the crux of this post.
-
- Seeing that I am 6'3", "big-boned" :-), and have a shoe size of 13 (15
- womens', correct?), I have a hard time finding anything that fits me; however,
- I can usually find things with a little effort. The one sore spot with me is
- stockings and hosiery.
- Catalogs don't seem to carry anything that would fit me (the largest
- that JC Penney's carries in their catalog is 6X, and considering the abyssmal
- experience I had with some 3X that I picked up once, thinking they'd be large
- enough may be wholly incorrect. As I recall, they came somewhere to my
- mid-thigh, and even if they had fit once I had them that far, they would have
- surely run because they were so stretched). I called a place in town that is
- a "hosiery discounters/distributers" that is across the street from one of my
- favorite game stores, and they only carry up to 4X. I'm not out enough yet
- to go into any of the large womens' shops (considering I have relatives who
- shop in those stores, and who knows where they shop exactly all the time?).
-
- Thus, what to do? I'd appreciate any info that anyone could give me on
- a source to solve this impasse (in the Houston area would be preferable, but
- mail-order may also work fine). Also, any information as to what size fits...
- well, what size :-) would be appreciated.
