I ladder mine all too easily and it's driving me loopy - laddered stockings are so not the look I'm going for!
Also, I've been buying hold-ups instead of regular stockings - do regular stockings actually stay up on thier own and what are anyone's preferences?

Sorry to be boring but the BEST hold-up stockings I have are from good old M&S. The 40 denier black hold ups are great, excellent quality, very flattering and don't leave a red mark at the top of your thighs. I also wear their fishnet hold-ups which look great but DO leave a red mark and can be quite uncomfortable if you wear them all day.
My latest pair of nude / flesh coloured fishnet tights came from ebay as I didn't have time to go shopping!! Just search for fishnet in new condition and it should bring up loads. Can't remember the ebay shop name at the mo but will add it later if I remember.
I also wear these OVER my dance tights to take off the shine and stop my legs looking like sausages in skins!! Again, can't remember the brand of tights, got them from my local dance shop, but worth paying bit extra for good ones. With proper dance tights you DO seem to get what you pay for.
