Even the levante ones I am just trying today are rolling on themselves a little bit...I once bought some DKNY at TKMaxx and were ok. <br /><br />Oh yes I also find the cheap Jolinesse ones from Lidl (3 quid, size 18/20) quite good, if you manage to find them as they run out quite quickly.

I've not tried their tights as just assumed out of hand that they'd be too short, but the next time Marks and Topshop go through a dry patch I might give them a go.

Ignore the out of stock thing, they're always in the stores.<br /><br />Thank you very much for the link Gemma! I am FASCINATED by anyone who can manage an actual stocking. I tried them a couple of times but it took me about 45 minutes of swearing to hook the bloody things to the belt and then I couldn't even go to the loo.

Being squidgy of thigh, holdups always seem to either grip like a python who's swallowed an elastic band, or be too big to reliably stay up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
