need opaque black hold ups - any ideas?

[poshgirlformerlymaggiesmama]

cant find anything think than 40 denier. i'm thiinking 60/70 - looked in m and s and the other obvious. what am i missing?

Some 50 denier here or some rather glam lace up ones here (70 denier, but I suspect not quite what you're after)

• and a very ott description of some more OTT hold-ups here . What about patterned ones? Like these ? Not high denier, but look it?

oooh. i like the la perla ones. but really, i constantly snag tights. could never spend 60 earth pounds on some tights.

ta. and, good link. how'd you do that stuff so fast???

Practice.

Some more options here ?

mytights.com and tightsplease.co.uk (though my best ones are 60denier Wolford ones from Allders before it folded)

Boots sometimes do them. I'm surprised M&S didn't have them - try their online store.
Mytights.com do a great range of stockings - they definitely have them.
