Default Back Seamed Stockings

Hello,
I am relatively new to posting on here so be gentle with me you gorgeous people! I am wondering if any of you know where I could purchase some hold up back seam stockings from?

Much love,
Deadly Nightshade.x

Hi Deadly Nightshade, you alright?? Try Pandora's Box on Ecclesall Road. They stock What Katie Did and other stocking brands... if they fail you, they sell them in Debenhams! (Come and say hello to me - I work on Principles right next to the lingerie).

I love the tulle seamed stockings. What katie did and Pamela Mann do them. I tend to ladder the normal kind so easily but these last me for ages.

PRIMARK!!!!!!! okay they may not be incredibly silky, but for £2.50 they look fabulous and stay up!

Plus if ya anything like me they will get snagged on something and when that happens to a pricey pair then argh!

Primark are also doing seamed tights at the moment. Bought some today and will report back!! xx

Hi

Apart from the usual suspects what Katie did and even Ebay for true vintage stocking finds..., even M&S stocks them now.

Also - mytights.com and tightsplease.com

I have recently purchased some beautiful nude colour nylons with a red seam. They are made by Jonathan Aston.. Debenhams/ John Lewis/ House of Fraser all stock Jonathan Aston.

I'm coverting the serpent back seam hold ups from Agent Provocateur.. Check out these bad boys for something with a twist on the usual seam.

Boyes sell them aswell!

They're alright actually, lacey at the top and as mentioned before, can be gutting to ladder a pricey pair.

Good luck in your search

Xx

I have the AP sepent hold ups and they are FABULOUS!!!!!
Also, AP have a promotion at the moment - postage is free when you spend over £25 rather than the usual £100!

I have had M&S stockings - just once and will never bother again. The pair i bought went through at both toes the same day i wore them! i returned them - got my money back. Shoddy quality like that does NOT impress me! Particularly when the brand are suppored to be trustworthy. Grrr...
