Bondage Tights
I was talking about Wolford's Bonny Dots -- and I spotted these beauties! The Bondage Tights are interwoven knitted fabric "ribbons" which end at the thighs, like true stockings, thigh-highs or stay-up stockings, however they are pantyhose with the hosiery above the patterned legs being transparent. "Why?" you ask, "Why are they not simply stockings?" My guess is that fabric ribbons woven so horizontally would be difficult to keep in position. Plus, I think we can trust Wolford to know what they're doing; they've been working with nylon since it hit Europe in 1949. *wink*

OMG, I had the same thoughts when I spotted these tights last year -- and again with Oroblu came out with the "most sincere form of flattery" stockings ;) I wrote about it here, dear. :)
LOL I love how you describe knock offs ;)
Dear Slip,
I think the no-stockings decision came from the stocking construction. There is a lot of weight in the bands, and a 4 or even 6 strap garter would stress the poor things.
Speaking from personal experience, go for the stay ups in this years Wilderness model (http://www.wolfordshop.com/Legwear-Stay-Up-Stockings/Wilderness-Stay-Up/cp56549/si5662175/cl2/vt01/)
My bondage tights are quite warm on the leg, and don't breath even a whisper in the panty. Should have opted for the stay ups..
One shouldn't have to feel hot to look hot :)
