I've had backseams on the brain lately, but it never would have occured to me to wear them with the seams at the front of the leg! It's pure genius, I tell you. These look very much like my fave Nordstrom's house brand of pantyhose/thigh highs where the "backseam" is woven into the nylon and it could definitely pass for a stripe rather than a seam.
Am I brave enough to try it and risk well-meaning strangers saying, "Lady, you've got those on backward?" Hmmm, not so sure. In theory, however this is a very cool idea.
I realize this very well may be a pair with a stripe up front and a stripe down the back, but they look SO much like the Nordie's hose, I can't help but wonder.
Edited to add: My dear blogging pal, Treacle who writes the über-awesome Stockings Addict and who has forgotten more about hosiery than I will ever know, pointed out in the comments area, the Wolford Palomas, which are a front-seamed style and are, indeed, what I think the model above is wearing. Thank you, Treacle. (Also, look at how hot she looks in her new corset).
OMG - is there a seam in back as well?
ReplyDeleteMy brain has just overheated with thoughts of the naughty situations I could get into with a girl who was wearing a pair of those!
Love them : )
ReplyDeleteWolford did some front seamed tights a couple of seasons ago as well. I believe they were called Paloma.
ReplyDeleteThis is why you are Yoda, Treacle. You have a hosiery encylopedia in your head.
ReplyDeleteJust Googled them and I'm pretty sure that's what she has on her legs and, Look! They come in a knee high and are available on SALE at Bare Necessities. http://bit.ly/z1xlG
Front, back, they all look good. ;) Nice find. -EC
