I find tights hot and uncomfortable, normally wear v long skirts for work, but depressed at thought of knee-highs. must have stockings.
but am still losing baby weight, about size 16. don't want something that digs into tummy. any tips on a comfy suspender belt, maybe with a bit of width/corsetty type thing going on?

struggle to get time for shopping. online best

thanks

is there such a thing as a comfy suspender belt?

how about hold ups?

I've tried hold ups in the past very painful, cut off the circulation, or just drop without warning. never got the hang of it...

will try figleaves

many years ago i purchased a lovely body thing that also had stocking straps at the bottom. absolutely the most comfortable thing around. i keep meaning to sew up another one in a couple more colours, one day i shall do it as i detest pantyhose.

i can see a market for this sort of thing.............make it out of something to uplift and suck in in the right places and it would be perfect.

Stockingshq.com do a lovely suspender belt that really holds your stockings up properly, and is nice and wide. They also do a waist clincher that holds you all in.

I got a lovely one from M & S last year. I hate tight things on my tum too, but it is great. It is about 8 inches deep and has 6 or more fastening things down the back, each one with a variety of hooks to attach it to, so you can adjust it to your own shape, IYSWIM. It was black and sparkly, so looks nice too.
