Chiffon Rose - Grimoire Princess Portrait OTK Socks

 If you hadn't already heard, Australia finally got some luck! Cute shop Chiffon Rose recently became a stockist for Grimoire's Verum line! We took the opportunity to grab a couple of pairs of the Princess Portrait OTK socks- don't they just put you in mind of a certain print~?

First of all, Chiffon Rose! I don't know how qualified I am to say about her service (I may be biased since if you didn't know, Chiffon Rose stock Peppermint Fox!) but I can say that it is always a delight to work with Kavya and it was no different when it came to purchasing the socks!

Now for the socks! While a number of people own Verum tights, there doesn't seem to be much out there about their knitted items (do you know they do both knitted tights and socks?). So I thought I would write a little about them. Please ask if there is anything you wanted to know!

My details:

161cm, ~55-60kg

Point around thigh: 46cm

Thickest part around calf: 32cm

Most of my height is in my legs, you can see what I mean here.

The fit for me is good, though I'm not sure how the princess would fare on a thicker thigh, they have a fair amount of stretch though and they're so over the knee they're almost thigh high and probably would be on someone shorter or with shorter legs.

*Check out the comments below as well! Margie has added a bit more about the fit*

They also have the most amazing detail, the glittery thread is cute and the portrait doesn't stretch roughly around the edges, like I've often seen AP socks do but (and I think this affects the former as well) they appear to have been woven in a very particular way. I've tried my best to photograph it over a pair of tights (though perhaps this was not one of my better ideas) but when stretched there is a very distinct damask pattern. I think if you can pick out the difference in the what I can only think to call dots you might be able to pick out the pattern?

 For the navy pair I made up a quick little coordinate to feature the OTK's. The navy is a lovely colour and features more mustard coloured details.

 This coordinate would be perfect for stepping out for a tea drinking adventure, don't you think?
