I've been wearing these for several years with body conscious dresses and when I just need some smoothing through the tummy area. The fabric is very resilient but not bulky. The waistband stays firmly in place. I'm 5'6" and 135lbs with super fair skin. The In The Buff color is a great nude, and the black is a perfect denier for my conservative workplace.
I most appreciate the fact that Nordstrom stocks this hosiery and that it was on sale! I have tried every pair of pantyhose ever made and spanx generally gets high marks. The issue of torn pantyhose is a big one and costly. These In-Power Line High-Waisted hose are less pron to tears and holes while struggling to put them on. The hose are so much heavier than the lighter Spanx pantyhose. I have a pair that I have been wearing and washing since April and they have not TORN YET!! It is a miracle. Finding this hose in black is the second advantage to me because in the past, I was not able to find black in the stronger fabric. I bought a lesser pair in black and tore it the first time I wore them just from pulling them up. I recommend them in strength and fit. Thank you, Spanx
