FAQs
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the Ann Summers size guide provided. Generally, sizes range from X Small (UK 4-6) to X Large (UK 20-22). Measure your leg if unsure, and check the specific size recommendations.
Can these be worn without a suspender belt?
Yes, these stockings are designed with stay-in-place silicone strips along the lace top, allowing them to be worn as hold-ups without a suspender belt.
What material are the stockings made of?
The stocking material is primarily 85% Polyamide and 15% Elastane. The lace top is made of 87% Polyamide and 13% Elastane, exclusive of trims.
How should I wash these stockings?
Hand wash separately in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing. Dry flat away from direct heat.
What is the advantage of the seam down the back?
The seam down the back is a vintage-inspired design element that adds a classic, elegant, and potentially leg-lengthening aesthetic.
Are these suitable for formal occasions?
Yes, the glossy finish and vintage seam make them suitable for formal events, evening wear, or any occasion where a touch of glamour is desired.
How does the silicone strip work?
The silicone strips are applied to the inside of the lace top. They create a gentle grip against the skin, helping to keep the stocking from rolling or slipping down.
Troubleshooting
Stockings slipping down
Ensure the silicone strips are clean and free from lotion or oil. Make sure the stocking is applied to dry skin. If the issue persists, consider using a suspender belt for added security.
Seam appears uneven
Gently adjust the stocking as you put it on, ensuring the back seam runs straight up the center of the leg. Avoid pulling too hard on the seam.
Skin irritation from silicone
Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Ensure the silicone strips are not too tight. Wash the stockings to remove any residue that might be causing irritation.
Ladder or snag appears
Handle with care to avoid snags. If a small ladder appears, it may not significantly affect wearability, but avoid further pulling. For larger ladders, replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These stockings are designed for immediate wear. For optimal positioning, ensure legs are dry before application. Gently roll the stocking up your leg, making sure the silicone band sits smoothly on the thigh. If using with a suspender belt, attach the garter clips evenly around the top band.
Compatibility: Compatible with most suspender belts. The silicone band allows for wear as hold-ups without a belt, but for the most secure fit, a suspender belt is recommended. Available in various sizes: XS (4-6), S (8-10), M (12-14), L (16-18), XL (20-22).
Care: Hand wash separately in cool water using a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Do not iron. Reshape whilst damp and dry flat, away from direct heat and sunlight. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces.
