Hosiery and skirts with the inches printed on the page

Moon Wood cuts thigh highs for legs that ordinary one size hosiery quietly gives up on, and skirts and pinafores that keep going past XL. This catalog lists 97 of them and copies out the size tables the brand publishes, so you can check a number before you fall for a colour.

Measure the widest part first

A thigh high that fits a 22 in thigh does not fit a 28 in one, whatever the packet says about one size. Every product page here carries the brand size table it came with, and the finder reads those tables directly.

What is checked, and what is not

This is a catalog written by one person from public listings. It helps to say plainly what that means before you trust a number on it.

Reading the catalog

How to buy hosiery when one size has never meant you

The phrase one size fits all was written for a leg that most people do not have. Standard thigh highs are knitted to sit somewhere around 19 to 23 inches at the top. A thigh of 27 inches stretches that band flat, and a flat band slides. The socks end up rolled around the knee within an hour, and the buyer concludes that thigh highs are simply not for her.

What actually holds a stay up in place

Three things. The width of the band, the material of the grip, and how much fabric there is above the widest point of the leg. Silicone grips hold against skin rather than against tension, so they work at a wider range of sizes than plain elastic ribbing. A band two or three inches deep spreads the load; a thin one digs a line and then gives up. And a sock that ends exactly at the widest part of the thigh has nothing to hold on to, which is why length matters as much as circumference.

Why the plus section here is the big one

Moon Wood built a run of hosiery around that problem, and the listings say so in the title rather than hiding it in the size dropdown. Several of the plus thigh highs publish a range like 25 to 39 inches, which is an unusual thing for a hosiery listing to admit to. That range is what the fit finder on this site reads. If your measurement falls outside every published range, the finder shows nothing rather than guessing, which is the honest answer.

Skirts and pinafores are a different problem

Apparel here is graded XL to 5XL with waist and hip in inches on nearly every listing. The gap that catches people is between waist and hip: a tiered skirt with a fixed waistband can fit the waist figure and still not clear the hip. Where a table gives both, the fit finder lets you switch which one it is matching against. Check the tighter of the two.

Colours, and why the lists are so long

A single thigh high listing can carry more than twenty shades under one price. Those are stock colours from the retailer swatches, printed on each product page in full. If a colour you want is not in the list, it is not in the listing either, and no amount of clicking through will produce it.
