In the US it's illegal to be dressed indecently, but not illegal to crossdress. Also, where would you draw the line? Some people might claim that all the boys wearing girls skinny jeans are crossdressing.
~ Rod ~
is it legal to crossdress when outside as a female
~ Andy M ~
epilators have been suggested. I've just bought a Braun and done my first epilate session. So far so good, but still a long way from hair free legs (which are essential for any tights wearing!!!)
~ Adrian ~
With winter on the way I shall be cutting down on heating bills by wearing opaque tights with a wool kilt.

@badleg: Try Elbeo Sheer Magic or Elbeo Caresse. Size XL is available. They really do help...
~ 2craze2 ~
Ordered some tights from Emilio Cavallini, they're great! Good stretch, warm, opaque. Good replacement for my regular sock-wearing.

Vintage hosiery package

We have been having a clear-out at home, and we came across this old hosiery box:

Aristoc Happy Legs box

 

This was the box that my wife's wedding tiara was kept in. As we were married in 1974, it probably dates from the late '60s or early '70s. Needless to say the three pairs of tights that it once contained are long gone. So, incidentally, is the tiara - it seems that the kids had it for dressing up, and it was never put back! 

The dimensions of the box are 7¼ by 9 by 1½ inches. The only other information is on the end of the box: 

End of box

Sheer thru presumably means what we would call sheer to waist. The discoloured white label may once have contained the price per pair, but nothing is legible on it now. I do however recall the colour brandysnap - it was a brownish tan colour, rather like a, ummm, brandysnap.
