Suspender Thigh High Stockings

Our suspender thigh high stockings come as a matched set: one pair of sheer thigh-highs finished with a wide lace top, plus a ruffled lace garter belt with four adjustable straps and clips. They are held up by the belt rather than by grip bands, the way stockings were worn under a 1920s dress.

How the Garter Belt Holds the Stockings

Fasten the belt at your waist first, slip on the stockings, then clip two straps to the lace top of each one, front and side. Adjust the straps until the stocking lies smooth without pulling. The belt fits waists of about 22 to 30 inches (55 to 76 cm) and each stocking is about 27.5 inches (70 cm) long, so the set is one size for roughly S to M.

Choosing Stockings for a Flapper Costume

Black is the classic under a black, gold or silver fringe dress, and it makes a short hem look deliberate. White suits a bride or a white beaded dress. Red is a bold accent for a cabaret theme with a black dress. Finish with a T-strap heel from our 20s fashion shoes.

Thigh High Stockings FAQ

Do these stay up on their own?

No. There is no silicone band at the top, so they are meant to be clipped to the garter belt, which keeps them in place while you dance.

Is the garter belt included?

Yes, each set has the belt and one pair of stockings in the same color.

Will the clips show under a fringe dress?

Under a knee-length or longer dress, no. With a short hem the lace tops may peek out when you sit or kick; for some, that is part of the flapper look, so it is your call.
