    Default stockings/thigh high problem-help!!!

    I know this has come up before and I read through the other threads but it didn't seem to answer my question or help me so my question is, I buy the white tights with bows by Leg Avenue for my school girl outfit. The tights do not have the rubber grip inside them, they're a one size fits all (can't find small) and by the end of the night they're falling down, getting loose or rolling down my leg. I read in a thread to use latex stuff but I'm allergic to latex, so I can't use that. I tried spraying hair spray on my legs and on the tights, that didn't work. I don't know what else to try to keep those dang tights up! It's so annoying to be pulling them up every single song! I'm having to pull them up when I'm on stage all the time. I don't know what else to do and the kind I like aren't made with the rubber grip kind and my outfit doesn't go with a garter belt. Any other ideas to keep those things from falling & rolling down? Please help, it's driving me nuts!!!! Thank you!

    Go on ebay. There's a japanese thing called Sock Glue. Works great.

    You could find a silicone adhesive. That's what the bands in thigh highs are. Or you could buy a different brand and put the bows on there yourself. I think those Leg Avenue thigh highs are pretty crappy overall and maybe a different type would stay up better.

    These look good:


    I think you can usually find this brand in department stores.

    Get yourself some real stay-up thigh highs at a department or lingerie store. I looove VS nylons

    At the craft/sewing store (or that dept of a dept store), get:
    A roll of white fabric ribbon
    White thread
    Regular sewing needle (not the machine kind)

    The craft store stuff should cost you no more than $5 or so.

    * Make the ribbon into a bow
    * Glue or sew the bow together so it doesn't come apart
    * Sew the bow onto the top of your thigh highs, on the thick stay-up part using a few stitches.

    Voila! (no, not walla ) You've got white thigh highs with bows that will actually stay up, and they'll be nicer than the crappy Leg Ave ones

    The cool thing is you could place the bows on the sides, back, front, where ever you want them; and you can make them in any colors you want

    Any peice of cloth that needs to be stuck to your body and not come off can be done with tupee tape. The stuff works wonderfully, sticks even when you're sweating and doesn't hurt when it comes off.

    Works fantastic for strapless gowns and those club tops that are cut down-to-there if you don't want to accidentally show anyone your boobs.

    You can pick it up at wig supply stores or beauty supply stores like Sally's. A couple pieces of it around your leg and your thigh highs will not fall off!
