Berkshire Ultra Sheer Back Seam Thigh High 1588 Reviews

Very pretty stockings, and the subject of many comments at a party I wore them to! I did find them a touch on the short side for me - the recommended height on the size guide is VERY accurate. I'll look for something a little longer :-) Joanne from Moorpark, CA, USA

The size chart goes by height, but there is not much stretch to these, so if you have large or muscular thighs, as I do, you will have to size up. Even one size up, they barely go to the middle of my thighs. I've only tried them on, I haven't worn them yet. none

I am not that tall, but i do have long legs and this fit good. I they could be a little wider at the top for me. I am really glad i found your website. jane from lexington,nc usa

I really love these stockings. I have worn them on 5 special occasions and washed them. They have maintained their shape and fit my legs and really make me feel special especially with the backseam. I was not able to find the size chart for this type of stocking so I selected the C since I wear a size C/D pantyhose. The C is short so next time I will need to order a size D. Thanks Herroom.

Great fit for a non-stretch stocking. Fantastic look with the sheerness and back seam. Dee Dee from Albert Lea Mn USA

Stockings are wonderful, and seam is very sexy. So far they have been resistant to runs. They seem to be a little long in size - I'm 5'9'' and the C is perfect length to wear with my OBGs Karin from Alexandria, VA

Berkshire never disappoints me. These are sexy tights, love the backseam and the quality is great. I use these in conjunction with a Rago shaper I just got and they are perfect. Trycia from NJ

I paired these with black high heels and a black garter belt. They made me feel deliciously sexy. I loved knowing what I was wearing under my work clothes. Stephanie from Boulder, CO

Beautiful stockings but you have to realize that they are real nylons and they will do things differently than stretch stockings. DW from Texas

These are beautiful, and excellent quality! I only gave four stars because I am really tall and these are a little bit of a stretch, but I understand that not everyone caters to the 6'1 female. M from Seattle, WA

Didn't fit. Short, only comes up just past my knees. Won't buy this again

Berkshire Response:Normally, the #1588 back seam stocking comes up about mid thigh to wear with a garter belt. Berkshire has been making stocking for many, many years. Maybe, the hose could have been mis-marked. Connie

Very nice! A size larger would have been nice as my sweetie has plump thighs. I produced a run very quickly, but it may have just been my enthusiasm. Rowlf from Southwest Ohio USA

I have purchased this item before from Herroom, in a size B and it was a little small. This larger size seems to fit much better, and are the best black seamed stockings I have purchased anywhere J

These seamed stockings are among the best I have found, without going into the $20.00+ range. J from Springdale, AR, USA

At first glance, it appears to be a very nice and classy hosiery but I noticed at the ankle area that it was cut a little too big. So when my husband and I attended a dinner party I gave it a try. He couldn't help but compliment how sexy they looked on me, but as the night went on I noticed they started to bag around the ankles. Too bad, I liked the sheerness too.

Berkshire Response: Style #1588 is an Ultra Sheer hose which means it has no lycra or stretch in the fabric. They are not what you would call every day hose. After being worn for a while they will tend to bag, especially around the ankles. That is the nature of all Ultra Sheer hose. They are very sheer because they have no lycra/stretch in them, so they will start to bag on some people where the legs bend. Jo from Houston,Tx

I have bought several pairs of these stockings. They feel good on, are very strong, and they don't run that easy. All of my girls want them too! I plan on buying more. Suzan from Cleveland, Ohio
