Tights falling down

[onedayatatime73]

Dd is really tall and so her tights fall down around the waist. Is there any handy device that can help clip (?) the waist band in?

I was tall and skinny as a teen and had the same problem , I wore a pair of knickers over the tights to stop them falling down.

just buy a bigger size?

Even when I was a size eight I'd have to buy XXL tights for the length

Where are the tights from, too? The poor quality (e.g. supermarket tights) always fall down far too easily. Agree with sizing up for the length

Buy a giant size. I've got short legs for my height and tights were always too short for me, they are a classic of ' its for females so we can make it crap'.

Holdups are good.

I always put a pair of black knickers over the top of mine and it stops them falling down.

It's because they are too small, although you'd think it would be because they are too big! Just size up.

Tights only fall down when they are small. Get a bigger size

You buy tights based on height (or leg length) not waist size. Get good quality ones that explain this on the label (M&S body sensor is good as are Pretty Polly and Aristoc). To give you an example - my sister who is a size 6 and 5ft 7 and my friend who is a size 16 and 5 ft wear the same size.

Sorry should have said dd is 5. Maybe I should have put this in parenting? Sorry.

5, 15 or 25, the principle is the same: get her bigger tights

I always pants/tights/pants.

I did pants+tights+pants and they fell down in the middle of a busy shopping centre. I'm 42. I wouldn't recommend that for anyone!

Try H&M tights - found those good for tall, skinny daughters.

Size bigger than she is.
