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?

Stockings need to be held up by a suspender belt or garters, hold ups do not. A lot of burlesque performers choose stockings as they have a more vintage look to them (and they also don't leave red marks on your leg) and taking them off has become a tricky but very sexy part of the traditional strip tease.
For sheer price consciousness go to John Lewis, they have rather nice stockings at very cheap prices. If you want to splurge a bit more there's La Perla, What Katie Did, and, if you win the lottery, Agent Provocateur.
