Or so suggested a conversation at the nail bar yesterday.
I am the only fule who leaves them at her waist.
We must be like walking sausage casing!

I'm confused. My tummy is below my belly button. Why is everyone else's tummy up by their bra?

And how on earth do you get tights up there? I have a long body and my tights aint no way no how reaching right up there.

Glad I am not the only one who keeps their tummy below their waist.

I'm 5'6" and a size 12 and even though I buy size L tights I can't get them further than my waist (and quite often it's a fight to get them that far). I've come to the conclusion that it's because I have big feet.

Like Gnocchi said - stockings and suspenders.

I tuck my tights into my bra.

It looks ridiculous but it's the only way the gusset doesn't migrate down towards my knees

catinboots · 14/06/2012 15:28

Tuck your tights in to your bra ???

How long are your tights??

Or are you a gnome??

mrscumberbatch · 14/06/2012 16:16

Yes. There's gnomes in S& B and fairies in Chat seemingly.....

I'm 5'4 so hardly a titch. And I have a massive arse. But yes, tucked under the bra- means there's no bumps etc.

LadyWellian · 14/06/2012 16:18

Pidj I've tried that but the stockings end up round my knees! It must be the feet.

VivaLeBeaver · 14/06/2012 16:19

My tummy is under my waist so I wear my tights over my tummy and onto my waist. I don't pull them up to my boobs.

Some weirdo I work with wears her knickers over her tights to keep her tights up!!!!!

nickelbarapasaurus · 14/06/2012 16:20

i do.

i pull them up as far as they will go!

(and i always thought i was the only one!)

nickelbarapasaurus · 14/06/2012 16:23

Misty - you can hipster tights.

i've got quite a few in my drawer that don't go high enough (and by the i mean they only just the height of my knickers)

and they all have holes in the waist where i couldn't pull them up high enough.

PurplePidjin · 14/06/2012 16:38

LadyW, you need to make sure the suspenders are at their shortest setting.

Hold ups are completely useless

wheelycote · 15/06/2012 10:14

If you get the tights for tall people then invest in he two knoicker rule to keep them up.
