My Lovely Day Wearing Hold Up Stockings.

[Guest Roberta-Belinda]

Last Friday I had an wonderful extended day dressed as Belinda. To ring the changes I decided to wear a pair of hold up stockings instead of wearing tights/ pantyhose. I have experimented with hold up stockings before but with disappointing results as they kept slipping down. I had no such worries on Friday the stockings stayed up for fourteen hours. As you know girls I absolutely adore tights but the stockings were really comfortable, I kept thinking that I was wearing tights. The stockings were a good make they were by Aristoc and were in nearly black. I couldn't believe it they made my legs look for some slim and glamorous when I looked in the mirror. I will never ever forsake my lovely tights as I have been wearing them since I was twelve, but I certainly would like to buy some more hold up stockings. One thing I really liked about wearing hold stockings was I the was less messing about when I had to visit the bathroom. Normally when I am dressed in tights I always want to make regular trips to the bathroom and I am always afraid of wearing out the waste band on them. Who knows next time I meant try stockings with suspenders.

Stocking suspenders, here we call them garter belts? Jolly good fun and if you can find the older style that have the sanitary napkin bits they make a great gaff in most skirts. Of course the one piece bra-girdle with the nylon and napkin bits (and a bit of padding) are what you need to wear a tight tailored top. Now days most are a luxury item. Now days many use a garbage bag and duct tape about the belly for the same effect. A vintage frock and your ready for a steampunk convention!

I was born when stockings reigned supreme, and experienced their hairy softness wearing the "run" pair my mother reserved in a drawer. My feminine curiosity started at that point, when I was about 4 or 5.

Years after I greatly appreciated the arrival of the pantyhoses because they kept my attributes comfortably tucked in, invisible and inviolable. As you stressed, the bathroom was the problem, but this is also part of our new wonderful nature....In the nineties I switched back again to stockings ( antique love never forgotten) as I was enchanted by the lacy beauty of garters, that left the upper legs exposed to the breezes climbing delightfully under my gowns, their hold up buttons showing nicely when you wear a really tight gown, leather expecially.

The hold up are beautiful, their lacy border drive me mad, and when they slip down, in a nicely feminine attitude full of seduction, in the privacy of a shop or in a remote corner of a street I cautiously drive them 'back home'.

And when the adesive band vanishes, well, here are my garters to double up my pleasure....

Colors ? From grey to almost black as Roberta-Belinda suggest, without exceptions.

Hugs,

Georgia

Clair and Georgia thanks for your kind contributions.

I bet you looked amazing in those hold-ups Belinda. As a fellow tights-enthusiast, it is nice to have a change once in a while and indeed it's much easier for toilet breaks.

Hi Roberta-Belinda!

Hold up stockings! I migrated from old male drab socks to hold-up stockings and wore them for ages. I like the 50-60 denier ones because they look like socks with work shoes. They always stayed up for me and were fantastic to wear - I love the feel of them! Unfortunately, the silicone tops started to cause really bad rashes on my skin despite washing with disinfectant [sudden thought - maybe the disinfectant caused this?!] so I had to stop wearing them.

Naturally the nearest alternative was full suspenders and stockings. And I never looked back. Wow! I love them! In our winter months I wear black jeans to work and they hide a multitude of sins, including suspenders and stockings. I adore wearing these and they are so comfortable. In the summer months I wear 40 denier 'pop' socks that are knee length. Even on a warm day these are better than any thick cotton drab sock!

Go on Belinda - try the full rig. You'll love it!

Hugs

Eve

I would love to wear a pair of nice lace top stockings and garter under a slick, black coctail dress. I've warn my wife's garter and stockings in the past but would love a pair of my own. Her's wasn't black and didn't quite fit right.
