Or how about stockings, with a nice garter belt?
Now *that's* a bitch to shop for around here. For your other hosiery needs, feel free to come over to West LA.
I've never had a problem as big as an entire sort of (what I consider a) clothing staple disappear due to trends--it's a styling issue. Most impact right now is where the waistband on pants hit. I am perfectly willing to wear some lower rise pants, but my shirts have to not only be longer, they have to be shaped. Therein lay my problem. Right now any pants that need to fit precisely below my waist fit like crap most everywhere else, so I'm trying to avoid the lower waist styles in general.

These I almost always have to get online. I hate
hate
pantyhose. They make the backs of my thighs sweat and itch. So if I'm going with any sort of stockingy type coverings, it has to have garters. Though I'll admit this might be a problem with the flesh tones fishnets I want for the Jessica Rabbit costume.

Try sockdreams, and ... dammit, I'm blanking on the other place I was looking that had even more exhaustive stockingry. If I remember I'll pop back and mention it.

ita, was it www.mytights.com? Or www.stockingshq.com?
Quick browsing says no, Jilli--but those definitely warrant me giving them a closer look from home.
If you are looking for Stockings and Garters in LA check out Trashy. They aren't cheap, but they have a big selection and their stuff is well made. Kristin will probably chime in on this if she sees it.
That is good and bad news. I don't know that I really want to buy more stuff. I mean, I easily could (I am such a sucker for MAC pigments that I never wear), but I mostly just want to see how different looks
look.
Okay, here's what I'll do. When I lose 10 pounds, I will reward myself with getting my face done and the related makeup purchase.

Trashy sends me their newsletter. I covet their 1940's dressing gown style robes.
I'm actually wondering how I'll stand actual fishnets without garters more than wondering where to find them.

Fishnets at least breath a lot better than nylons. I find fishnet non-stocking tights much more comfortable than nylon hosiery of the same form.
