Yes, I am back!  ilovehosiery had a bad start, with all original photos and videos lost in an untimely incident.  I was really sad and were thinking whether or not to continue the blog.  Since I bought quite a few pairs early this year, I thought let’s review them first before making any decisions.  Hence in this review, we will look into one I recently purchased: the Fifteen tights from Heist Studios. Strengths & Weaknesses ⊕ Very good craftsmanship. ⊙ Packaging revamped. ⊗ High waistband can be too wide for some people. Packaging & product des ..read more

      This one is not exactly a vintage style, as you can still buy them online or in physical shops.  I brought it up because I purchased this when it was launched in 2018.
