Hi. I was going to get my GF a garter and stockings for V-Day.
Got the garter, but I bought some thigh-high stay up stockings, and these can't be clipped properly with the garter as there is a band of plastic/rubber around the tops. Where can I buy some stockings that would work?
thanks in advance
You mean you're getting yourself a garter and stockings for your gf for valentines day right
.
To answer your question, probably the same place you got the thigh high stay ups. Usually, the "stay up stockings" are marked "stay up" on the box and the stockings that require a garter belt are not. Personally, I prefer sheer to waist pantyhose.... none of that control top crap to cheat (usually means the girl is overweight or needs certain fatty chunks "controlled" so they look more flattering). Stockings one size smaller can also double as stay up stockings and regular stockings.
Personally, I like the look of tan or natural colored hose in various shades (anywhere from sand to dark tan like the hooters girls). Black will make the legs look slimmer if your lady is packing a few extra pounds. White has it's uses, but will make legs look fatter, so unless your lady is a spinner like Mercury Aradia, avoid white. Red is the perfect "whore hose" but is hard to find. Nothing like the site of a beautiful whore-I-mean-classy-lady on her knees in red hosiery and stripper heels. I found some good red stockings at La Senza and Victoria's Secret, but the stay ups or pantyhose in red is really hard to find. That is how I found out about the 1 size below trick.
Now, if you really want to go out and impress her, get her some Wolford's pantyhose/stockings/stay ups/tights. There is a store on Robson downtown. Prices START at $40 and go up to $250+... but they sometimes go on sale for 50% clearance. It's quite the shopping experience. The sales ladies really know their hose... For those special occasions, Wolfords are sure to survive the harsh conditions of various flooring surfaces in the knee area if you know what I mean... god I gotta quit being such a romantic.
