 Can anyone recommend me some good stockings for a taller girl (my OH is 5ft 11)? I bought her some nice looking thigh-high fishnets on here that should apparently be suitable for a size 18 like her, but she said they felt pretty tight and they didn't go much further past her knees. I want some that will sit nice and high so she can attach suspenders to them. Anyone know a good place to look?

Personally, I can reccommend the What Katie Did seamed stockings:

They have a lot of give in them, don't dig in to create that 'overspill' look, and they go all the way up my legs (I'm 5'10") easily.

I don't have a massive collection of stocking, so those are the only ones I can say for certain. Sorry!

 Thank you very much cheer_up! It's weird perhaps but I quite like a bit of "overspill"! Not a deal breaker on anything though!

 The only think is, these stockings are suitable for women up to 175 lb but my girl's a bit bigger than this! Not sure if they'll go on. Anyone got any other suggestions?

I'd suggest buying some from the supermarket range. I've not had too much luck with Lovehoney's range of the plus size stockings. However, the cheap George range (from asda) have an excellent fit. I am a fan of their hold ups!

Only issue there is what's available as there are limited styles but aside from that the sizing is really good.

You could try these stockings as they fitted me very well, see me review of them.

 Definitely worth a go. Do you feel sexy in them though?

 I really like these but unfortuntely they only go up to a size 14 and my OH is an 18. Do you reckon they'll fit?

Yes. I do. I bought patterned thigh high stay-ups and it looked very sexy teamed with any other lingerie. I was just glad it looked great and fitted good. =]

I think they extended their range a little bit as well. I'll probably go and buy more.

I thought these seemed to have plenty of material for those looking for something christmassy and suitable for long legged ladies: http://www.lovehoney.co.uk/product.cfm?p=22673

Granted, I have dumpy legs, so it's a little hard to judge - but there seemed to be loads of material so possibly worth a go!
