After buying 2 pairs of stockings, one knee high and another longer pair, I was most disappointed to find that on wearing the first pair for the first time, they wouldn’t stay up for the morning that I wore them. I was very embarrassed that they kept falling down. When I went back to the store complaining about this pair, I was told that the store wouldn’t refund my money. Next time, I plan to go to Nordstroms. They sell a quality product. Oh yes, I should add this pair costs me $ 13.50. I could have done better wearing stockings from Target. Yes, these were Italian and I have bought many stockings in Italy but never had this disappointment before. Glenda F.
