But I'm skeptical. The size chart says it's for women up to 5'10". Not only am I taller than that, but my legs are disproportionately long, so I really need something that fits a person that's more like 6'4" or more.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307213773466556564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-1207363103509636912012-05-08T09:01:22.169-05:002012-05-08T09:01:22.169-05:00L'eggs are stinky; I have never ever had L'...L'eggs are stinky; I have never ever had L'eggs that lasted longer than 3 wears or fit comfortably enough that I could stand wearing them. <br /><br />Do try the Penney's ones. :-)Elephantschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610471467736150461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-143699308717619372012-05-08T08:59:15.966-05:002012-05-08T08:59:15.966-05:00Susan, JC Penney's brand, East 5th's Sheer...Susan, JC Penney's brand, East 5th's Sheer Caress, carries Queen Tall. Those will likely work. Here is their size chart, see Chart #3. http://www.jcpenney.com/images/Seasonal/wonensizes5.jpg <br /><br />JC Penneys is the only store I know of that carries Queen Shorts and Queen Talls in hose. Queen Shorts are what fit a short, curvy girl like me. :-) <br /><br />Furthermore, they are GOOD, and they hold up extremely well. I have pair I have worn weekly for an entire winter without a hole or run. I have another pair with a huge hole in the upper leg, which I painted with nail polish and have continued to wear for months with no further tear.Elephantschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610471467736150461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-44609933158929406422012-05-01T17:50:53.279-05:002012-05-01T17:50:53.279-05:00Waistbands digging in to bigger tummies is NOT ple...Waistbands digging in to bigger tummies is NOT pleasant.

And yet, how come it doesn't work the other way? Even when I get a pair of huge pantyhose, big enough to be usable, they don't want to stretch length-wise enough for me to actually be comfortable in them. [Can you hear my whining, "It's not fair!"?] And there's something about the hips and waistband in this pair of Leggs; there's no way it would fit Maggie (who would be on the lower edge of the size chart), much less someone 50# bigger.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307213773466556564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-23686029623392265362012-04-30T13:41:32.051-05:002012-04-30T13:41:32.051-05:00Yup.

If your leg circumference is doubled that means you need a lot more fabric for your hose.Katsukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03207909811116509797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-66712432884130773852012-04-30T10:39:09.562-05:002012-04-30T10:39:09.562-05:00I once had a pair of maternity pants that were too...I once had a pair of maternity pants that were too long at the beginning of a pregnancy. I was going to get them hemmed, but when I put them back on later in the pregnancy, they magically weren't too long anymore. That's because my fatter thighs, hips, and butt used up the extra fabric that used to hang straight down, making the pants too long. I think it's probably the same concept with the hose.Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182861834635420699noreply@blogger.com
