I love Hanes Smooth Illusions Go Figure! The mid-thigh style smooths the stomach and hip area but is still super comfortable! They only go to mid thigh and aren't stockings. They do carry a stocking version. I can't speak from experience on this particular style but as for the brand, it's really wearable!

Edited to add: I totally forgot to mention you can't see any seams with them!
