Chapter VIII · Stockings and hosiery
Lace-Top Hold-Up Stockings
Sized by height and hip measurement. The lace band does the work a belt would.
- Inclusive Fit
Hold-ups stay in place with a silicone band inside the lace top, which means no belt is needed. They are sized by height and hip measurement rather than dress size, and that chart is the thing to read.
This placeholder represents the category.
