Hosiery Sizes
Sizing of hosiery takes into account both height and weight. The greater your height, the lower the weight that a given size of hosiery will fit. When viewing charts, allowances need to be made if your hips/legs are large or small in build in relation to the rest of your figure. Some manufacturers have their own size charts. Here is an approximate guide:
Queen Size = Plus Size = 1-3X: Approx. 170-200lbs (75-90kg) and 5' 2" to 6' (158-183cm) tall.
Queen 2 = 3/4X: Approx. 185-250lbs (85-115kg) and 5' 6" to 6' (168-183cm) tall.
Queen 3 = 5/6X
"Levee" tights: Size 5, approx. 170-210lbs (75-95kg) and 5' to 6' 1" (152-185cm) tall.
"Levee" tights: Size 6, approx. 200-270lbs (90-120kg) and 5' 3" to 6' 4" (152-193cm) tall.
