Stockings not Hold ups

Does anybody know any shops that sell opaque stockings?

I can find them online but I want to go into a store to buy some. I also want stockings, sometimes holdups chaffe my thighs so I need a break from them.

TIA Smile

I've seen them in some M&S stores, and John Lewis. Also try wedding shops.

When I was in M&S they were hold ups not stockings.

Wedding shops will sell black opaque stockings? Not very weddingy (yes that is a word)

Ah, no wedding shops probably won't sell black stockings, but you didn't specify that. Grin Specialist lingerie shops? Burlesque or RockaBilly place? Some shops which sell online also take stalls at festivals/expos rather than have permanent premises.

Debenhams sell online, so might also sell in branches. Do you have an old-fashioned department store nearby?

I'm having the exact same issue, a lady told me today asda and tesco are the best places to try??

Ann Summers?

Or else slightly more expensive but great quality agent provocateur

Have just seen BHS and House of Fraser recommended, and, perhaps surprisingly, Primark!

I went into HOF today and the only stocking they had were white.

impatienceisavirtue · 23/10/2014 18:22

I've always managed to get them from debenhams

I wanted some last winter and couldn't find any so made my own by cutting the 'top' off a regular pair of black opaques...worked a treat...they dont ladder like thinner tights would...

Mumraathenoisylion · 23/10/2014 18:45

I love that idea!!

Slutty for work? Shock

I think your friend may be a little prudish
