2. I'd go with a smoky grey.
Or a really sheer black.

Leave the fishnets home. :)

3. Black, I'd think.
That combination would best not call attention away from you and the dress unless that's what you want to do. :popcorn:

5. dark or very sheer.
If you have good legs sheer w/ a slight shimmer to them will look wonderful. They look like you have no hose on at all, tone out any discoloration yet have the slightest shimmer in the right lighting.

7. Sheer....
Nothing else will work unless you want to look like a bruise from 1989.

I was debating between sheer and sheer black

15. Yes. Off-black thigh highs.
Bonus points if they're the kid with the seam up the back.

11. Very sheer black.



Or if you have good calves, nude. "Nude" the color, I mean.


Have fun!

:hi:

13. Why would you take a hose?
:shrug:

Just in case the Christmas tree catches fire?

16. Nude/sheer.
Any other color will distract the eye from the dress. Your arms/neck aren't a different color; why should your legs be?

19. I thought hose were now passe.
It seems like none of the "with it" women on the left coast wear them now.
