DORALLURE Lace-Top Hold-Ups

Sheer 20-denier hold-ups with a double silicone band. Sized by chart, not by label.

  • Inclusive Fit

Hold-ups stay in place with a silicone band inside the lace top, which means no belt is needed. They are sized by height and hip measurement rather than dress size, and that chart is the thing to read.

Who may find it useful

  • · Anyone who wants hosiery without a belt
  • · People looking for extended sizing

Who may prefer another category

  • · People who react to silicone bands on skin, who may prefer stockings with a belt

DORALLURE's hold-ups are the volume seller in this category: sheer 20-denier nylon with a double-layer silicone band inside the lace top, in a wide range of colours. Use the brand's size chart on the listing.
