Thick With Irony

Wednesday, July 1, 2009


Dollhouse Bettie has recently unveiled their Gangster's Moll Pinstripe Fishnet Stockings. They describe these stockings as "a gender bending twist on the classic menswear pinstripe". They are, no doubt, inspired by the pinstriped suits worn by the legendary gangsters of the 20s and 30s (Tommy Gun sold separately?).

Whatever your inspiration, these stockings are both attractive and inexpensive. As such, they are certainly worth taking a closer look at. They are fishnet stockings, but they are made out of a combination of nylon and lycra, so they boast a better fit, at least according to the website. In addition, they can be worn with or without a garter belt, but the belt is recommended for longer (day long) wears.

The stockings come in only one size, but they claim to fit up to height's of 5'10" and weights up to 160lbs. They should have a good amount of stretch and claim to have good durability. The pinstripe pattern begins right at the toe and continues all the way up to the lace top. The top is done in a very lovely lace pattern and should have enough stretch to fit an athletic leg. All in all the stocking is really well done from an aesthetic standpoint.

The stocking comes in black only, but costs a mere $7.95. It its quality matches that of typical Dollhouse Bettie products than this is an absolute steal.

Of course, I can't help but think to myself...if these stockings are a "gender bending twist", what does that mean when I am wearing them? Are they really made for me? Hmmmm...
