Stockings #4

Apparently Nice Touch is a Sears private label. I tried googling it; that's as far as I got.
I tried out a pair of their Smoky Taupe stockings yesterday. That's what I'm talking about!!! All day silky smooth, comfortable goodness. I have no idea yet how well they wear, this is the first time I'm trying them and I haven't washed them yet.
The fit...this is how stockings are supposed to fit. I'm kicking myself I ever bought those Vassarette stockings. The Vassarette I believe had only two sizes and you need at least three or four...because of height, if nothing else. It's hard to make a stocking too tight or too baggy, but if it's too short, it's not going to work.
That said, the stocking part of the Vassarette itself was beautiful. The Nice Touch, imo, not quite as beautifully sheer. Smoky Taupe could also have been smokier and taupe-ier. It's a bit too close to the dreaded 1970's suntan to be truly taupe, but not so close that you couldn't make it work.
And Vassarette had some neat novelty looks like backseam (iirc they may have had fishnets too), which I highly doubt Nice Touch possesses. Nice Touch is your grandma's stockings, which is more important to me, after all.
Overall I'm more than pleased with Nice Touch.
