We all know the feeling. It's that unsettling feeling we get in the pit of our stomachs. It's the uncomfortable feeling that we get in the small of our backs. It's the feeling that results from the so-called "waistband" of our pantyhose actually coming to rest at some point between our bras and our bellybuttons. Yes, that's the all-too-familiar feeling of hosiery that was not designed with a petite woman's proportions in mind. And with at least 40% of women in this country standing at 5'4" or less, you'd think that hosiery manufacturers would be more sensitive to the needs of us shorter women. Sadly, they are not. But all hope is not lost! Thanks to TheFind.com, I learned that Hanes has actually created a line of petites and petites-plus hosiery designed especially for us! (They are only available in basic colors, but, hey, it's a start!) Admittedly, I'm not sure whether the lines have been discontinued, as these special sizes are not sold directly on the Hanes.com website. But for now, I suggest you stock up on the pairs you find at third-party sites. (TheFind.com also links to a few more vendors.) With a pair of petite pantyhose, our legs can truly look and feel "nothing short of amazing!"
This is such a great find! I love wearing black tights to work, but hate the uncomfortable placement of the waistband and the scrunching around my ankles. I'll definitely have to check these out!
ReplyDeleteGreat find..I wear black tights pretty much every day, but somehow I got used to the waistband being at my ribcages. I have a few dresses that aren't lined that scratch up my middle so the tights tend to serve as a "slip" as terrible as that sounds.
ReplyDeleteLove this post!!! I can't wait to try these :)
ReplyDeleteI had a really embarrassing moment with panty hose... I wore these Hanes thigh-highs to an interview despite them barely hanging on (my thighs were too small). As I was walking out of the building, whatever little grip the rubber lining at the top had gave and they just slid down my legs! I was mortified because there were people around but luckily my interview was already over so I just took them off right then and there.
ReplyDeleteI see nothing has been posted here for almost three years. I cannot find any petite pantyhose or tights on thefind.com. Does anyone have any updated information on this issue?
