Default Curvy Starlets - help!

Im looking for a decent pair of vintage style (ie, in a tan, flesh or light light rust colour) stockings preferably with a cuban heel. My only problem is that I cant find any that arnt horribly unflattering! I tend to find that hold ups cause my thighs to bulge.not an attractive look.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Stockingshq seems the best bet so far!

I thought you were looking for curvy starlets for an act, and was about to offer my services.Ha!

Busty McLusty is the most well read woman I have ever met on stockings, I'm sure she'll have some suggestions. Will point her towards this thread.

I'm going to cut and paste this thread and emailit to to my now ex-boyfriend. Perhaps he will realise what a fool he has been!

I'm very short so stockings are a nightmare for me. I personally am a fan of my fishnets and nothing beats a pair from Primark!

LittleRed you are too kind.

I dont know if this will help but i found a place in glasgow thats half sex shop half cheeky lingerie. They have the hugest selection of stockings iv ever seen and with a lot of different sizes. Generally i bug them and pick their brains till they sell/order me what i need. If you could find somewhere like this it might help.

Elektra, did you have a look on Whatkatiedid? The good thing is that they have advice on sizing etc. and have a lot of sizes for curvy ladies.in general.I am small and have trouble finding decent stockings, they are either too short or the smallest nylons are baggy!

Have you thought about drawing them on your legs? A perfect fit!

hugs,

I found that if you buy a pair one size larger than the size you normally are (unless you are one of those hard to find one size fits all) it cuts down on the bloop at the top of the thighs.
Hey, maybe that's your moneymaking idea - stockings/stay-ups for the larger leg? Okay, now go make your millions!''

I also have a nightmare with stockings!

I have so many pairs at home that are 'large' but feel like they are round my ankles by the end of the evening!

I have found one pair which are perfect, but one small problem i lost the packaging and now can't remember the make!
