Control Top Pantyhose:

Pantyhose has its first inkling in the 1920’s, when the couture hemline for women’s skirts and dresses rose enough to show off women’s legs. At that point, hosiery was only available as stockings, most often made out of silk. Control top pantyhose was not even a glimmer in the eyes of hosiery’s creator. In 1965, the original seam-free version of pantyhose was developed to coincide with the miniskirt. Control Top pantyhose  was just around the corner because women, of course, wanted something to act as a slimming agent in addition to adding warmth and coverage.

Control top hosiery is just a regular pair of pantyhose with a reinforced panty. Sometimes, women who wear Control top pantyhose complain of the panty lines they get with short skirts and hot pants. But in general control top pantyhose is a solution to the bulges women feel in their midsections. The manufacturers of control top hosiery have created a delineation for Sheer to Waist, which is exactly as it sounds: sheer from the toe to the waist so there are no panty lines. This control top pantyhose is ideal for mini skirts, high slit gowns or for wear with lingerie, which is one of the big secrets of sexy women everywhere. Some control top hosiery has panel gussets built into the construction.
