What Katie DidModern seamed stockings are easier to wear than vintage ones, but they’re still designed with suspenders in mind. They’re not built to stay up on their own like hold-ups.
Suspenders keep them in position, help maintain the line of the seam, and stop them from slipping or twisting during wear. https://www.whatkatiedid.com/collections/seamed-stockings
F3715H@whatkatiediduk Also #Suspender #Stockings are way more comfortable to wear than #HoldUps, espechally for longer periods of time, as they don't "stick" to skin and obviously can have a lighter rim without sticky inside surface.
- And once stockings don't need to friction-hold on skin, they can be way lighter and softer overall…
All in all, way more comfortable.
Plus a decent #SuspenderBelt lasts verly long…
@F3715H Indeed. We actually stopped selling hold ups as a) a lot of people found the bands irritated their skin and b) a lot of them didn't 'hold up'. If anyone is desperate for them, I found the seamed holdups by Cervin the best, both comfy and durable. But that was many many years ago!
@whatkatiediduk Yeah...
I'd rather recommend a non-holdups version of the same #stockings and a decent suspender belt instead.
