Stockings (Korea- and China-made)

Last year, I've bought stockings from korean sellers online, but each seller peddle products which were made from different countries (Korea and China). I had finally received the Made-in-China items from one seller with today since shipping takes a week or two. 

Black half band-stockings: 


Black and brown full-length stockings (120 denier):




  
Free skin-coloured stocking socks with purchase of min 3 items: 


I must say, these are value for money. A quick browse along the market shelves would show that stockings with 120 denier can easily cost $10 or more, so to get them at $2.55, why not? Anyway, stockings with higher denier are less sheer than the usual ones, and are thus more resistant to tears and would trap more heat. For me, the properties suit me really well.

Thicker material:

Usual stockings (free stocking socks):


It's a pity that the brown leggings had a minor defect, but I couldn't complain much with that price:


Remember that I'd mentioned previously that I had bought stockings from another Korean seller with Korean stocks? Now I shall put them together just for fun:


Ops, pardon me for my messy table =x Back to the stockings, the Korean one is found at the bottom while the Chinese one is on top. It seemed quite odd to me why the Korean one was so much longer. In terms of quality and price, I felt that the Chinese one beats the Korean one hands down. It offered a higher denier stocking at a lower price (120 denier at $2.55 vs 90 denier at $5), and due to the more appropriate length, it provided more support to my flabby legs =x
