FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart. Generally, you will need to measure the circumference of your thigh at the widest point and your leg length to find the best fit. Ensure the hold ups are snug but not constricting.

Can I wear these with everyday outfits?

Yes, these hold ups can be worn with everyday outfits like skirts and dresses to add a polished touch. Their sheer finish and back seam make them versatile for both casual and more formal occasions.

How long do the elasticated tops typically last?

With proper care, the elasticated tops should maintain their grip for a considerable number of wears. Avoid excessive heat and harsh detergents, which can degrade the elastic over time.

Are these suitable for very hot weather?

The sheer finish offers some breathability. However, like most hosiery, they may feel warmer in very high temperatures. For maximum comfort in extreme heat, consider layering with lighter fabrics.

What is the 'back seam' detail?

The back seam is a vertical stitch running up the back of the leg, a classic design element in hosiery that adds a subtle, elegant detail and can help visually elongate the leg.

Can I put these in a washing machine?

It is strongly recommended to hand wash these hold ups in cool water with a mild detergent. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can damage the fine fabric and the elasticated top.

What does 'hold ups' mean in this context?

'Hold ups' refers to thigh-high stockings designed to stay in place without the need for garters, typically using silicone or elasticated bands at the top.

Troubleshooting

Hold ups are slipping down.

Ensure the thigh-high area is clean and dry before application. Check if the size is appropriate; a size too large can cause slippage. The elasticated top should grip firmly but comfortably.

Fabric feels uncomfortable or itchy.

Verify that the hold ups are being worn correctly. Ensure no rough seams from other garments are rubbing against them. If discomfort persists, consider a different material or brand, as individual skin sensitivities vary.

Seam is not straight or is pulling.

This can occur if the hold ups are twisted when put on. Gently adjust the fabric to ensure the back seam runs straight up the back of the leg. Avoid aggressive pulling.

Hosiery shows signs of snagging or runs.

Handle with extreme care, avoiding contact with sharp objects, jewelry, or rough surfaces. If a small snag occurs, stop it from developing into a run by applying a tiny amount of clear nail polish to the edges of the snag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These hold ups are ready to wear directly from the packaging. Ensure hands are free of jewelry or rough nails when putting them on to prevent snags.

Compatibility:

  • Footwear: Suitable for most types of footwear, including heels, flats, and boots, provided they do not have rough inner seams that could catch the delicate fabric.
  • Garments: Designed to be worn with dresses, skirts, and longer tops. The thigh-high cut means they are intended to be visible at the top of the leg.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Hand wash separately in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
  • Storage: Store flat or rolled to maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keep away from sharp objects.
