Stockings

On struggling for the best part of an hour to get a pair of stockings attached to a suspender belt can anyone give me any hints and tips as to how best to put them on for next time. Seems like you need to be very flexible to attach the straps.
Also, I am presuming the suspender belt goes over the pants.

No it goes under the pants and what exactly is the problem? You just clip them to the stocking tops and voila! not difficult.#6 of the SKI-ers Club :j

Have you tried searching 'how to attach stockings to suspender belt' on YouTube? It may be easier to watch someone do it then have someone explain it. I'm trying to think of a way to explain but struggling.. Maybe someone else will be ever to but try YouTube.
And yes the belt goes over the pants. You don't want the straps underneath your knickers.. :P0 -
Maybe it depends on the style of knickers and suspender, but if you google stockings and suspenders most of them have the suspenders OVER the pants.
As to how to attach them to the stockings, yes that bit is fiddly.
I gave up wearing them for this reason, that and they're very uncomfortable!0 -
Sorry.
I have had plenty of experience in taking them off but not putting them on.I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.0 -

hahaha!
Its mainly the back suspender strap I had problems with attaching to the stocking. I guess I'm not that flexible any more. I suppose given practise i'll get better at putting them on.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
You could always attach the stockings onto the belt first before putting it all on?0

I would normally lengthen the straps as much as I can, clip them on and then adjust them to the right length. It gives you a bit more flexibility while fastening them. When going to the loo, don't unclip them, just unfasten the suspender belt and pull everything down together.

Images and catalogues always are odd on this. Knickers go on afterwards. Other wise every time you pulled you knickers down, say to go to the loo, you'd have to fuss with your stockings.
I can only presume its a sales thing.0 -

But you can just pull knickers down, with out disrupting skirt too much ( which faff ing with suspender belt would, some skirts sit lower than a suspender belt). And if knickers go over top they hold straps in (better under many clothes) And for those looking for less practical purposes, some prefer to remove knickers leaving suspenders and stockings on.0
