Thomas H Jones IIWifelet @'s me about a thread she's reading on burdsite where someone is saying fishnets are never good looking. OP posts a picture in fencepost fishnets. People agreeing with OP also post pix showing fencepost fishnets.
So, yeah, if your only knowledge of fishnets is fencepost, I agree. Fencepost makes you look like a trussed ham. Smaller (classic) netting, on the other hand, can look great; especially as thigh highs or even full hose ...that don't rise above the tops of whatever you're wearing over them.
