Ok, so I now have my Alice costume. I got the cute stripe thigh highs with the heart to go along with it. Now, while I’m not overweight, I do have hips and thighs. As such, I can find it to be a bit of a pain keeping the stockings up. When working at a 1920’s themed haunt, I had to wear a pair of thigh highs, and we used some sprit gum to keep them up, and that seemed to work well enough.

I was wondering though if anyone here has any tips for keeping these things up, as I know I’m not the only person with this issue. My friend who is 5’9 and 140 lbs also has an issue from time to time. So lay the ideas on!

I like garters best for that. I find the thigh highs with the 'stay up gum' to be a pain and they give you muffin thighs! hehe Garters all the way - plus they're sexy :) Just my $0.02CAD

what about double sided sticky tape?

I use to have to ware thigh highs every day at work. I used the wardrobe tape. It is used mostly for models to keep the clothes where they belong. Forget the name of the product. If I forgot the tape, i also used a very large rubber-band. Under the thigh highs, it kept them from sliding down. Gives extra grip to the hose.

If you take BC pills or have a history of blood clots, or smoke, please don't use the rubberband thing.

Thats what its called wardrobe tape couldn't think of it yesterday so said double sided sticky tape instead sounds close.

we all have memory gliches once in a while, mine just happen more offten. ;-)

Large rubber bands if they are not to tight.

Or tie a string around them and then fold over. Tie a string or what ever a long peice of clothe ect.
