Control Top Pantyhose
Pantyhose had their 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 were 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 were 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 pantyhose are just a regular pair of pantyhose with a reinforced panty. In general control top pantyhose are a solution to the bulges women feel in their midsections. The manufacturers of control top pantyhose have created "Sheer to Waist", which is exactly as it sounds: sheer from the toe to the waist so there are no panty lines. These control top pantyhose are 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.
