American Duchess Stockings

I have silk stockings. Now to find a ball to attend.
I received a pair of the American Duchess ivory openwork silk stockings for Christmas, and am pleased to report that they fit. Between my small feet and calves-of-doom, this is usually not the case for stockings (or even modern knee socks which are 100000% spandex and still too loose/tight in turn). I was expecting that I would need to shorten the foot and/or that the tops would be too tight: fortunately, they aren't. The uppers are rather snug, so I might tamper with the cuff a little anyway, but I can get them on, and there's no bagginess about the ankle or toe, so score!
