I finally got a chance to wear my new stockings from Calzedonia. No garter belt required; the lace top has silicone lining. It‘s warm today, so I waited to pop them on at the last minute. I opened the package, pulled them out and—can’t get the open! At the tops, the gummy stuff on one side is stuck to the gummy stuff on the other. Any suggestions on how to get them apart without ruining the hosiery or the lace?
