Gabriella Lux Stripe Top Hold Up Stockings

These stockings are good - nice quality and fit, felt good on the toes. The only problem was that I laddered them on their second use (keep away from Velcro guys!).

Partner liked them very much. I like how they differ from the usual lace - something more contemporary and in keeping with how I view my personality (which isn't overtly feminine).

Thumbs up from me!

I purchased these along with some other goodies and I am so impressed.

As always my order arrived in the discreet Lovehoney brown box and were in a sturdy cardboard packaging.

They are a sheer black stocking with opaque and sheer black alternating stripes at the top, they are really lovely on and have a real vintage look about them and went really well with the strappy black bra set I paired them with.

I purchased the S/M and have 32" legs so it can be quite awkward to find stockings long enough but these have so much stretch in them that I could put them all the way up to the top of my thighs if I wanted. The silicone at the top has a great grip and there is no fear of these slipping down if I decided to wear them without suspenders.

Altogether a brilliant buy and completed my look perfectly.

Hold ups. The perfectly priced way to mix up your lingerie outfits and add variety to your bedroom attire.

Black being the most slimming of colours, and my legs being an athletic size 14, I opted for these. Differing from my other black hold ups by the striped tops. I chose these in particular as I like to be frivolous, and these were the cheapest 'stripe top' hold ups Lovehoney currently has to offer. I ordered them in a size M/L.

These come quite nicely packaged but since packaging ends up in the bin anyway I will leave the description at that.

The stockings are a slightly sheer black. The tops alternate between an opaque black and a sheer black. The sheer part of the tops do seem to be on the delicate side as they are simply many singular threads separated by gaps.

Now the last pair of hold ups I bought had a frustrating habit of rolling down to my knees. No use to me without suspenders in other words. I was so pleased to find that wasn't the case with these. I pulled them up to mid thigh and at mid thigh they happily stayed. These can therefore be worn with or without suspender straps meaning more variety for me. Bonus.

I am 5 ft 2" and as I said above they sit perfectly mid thigh. They do have stretch though so I feel they would be suitable for anyone shorter or taller then I am.

My favourite lingerie to couple with these thus far is a red open cup lace teddy and some red heels.

The quality of these really is fantastic given the price. They are so sexy and so feminine. They can really make an outfit.
