Ballerina Hold Ups

What makes Ballerina hold ups different?

Ballerina focuses on the top band and the leg design. Many styles have a deep embroidered or lace top that is meant to be seen, which suits occasion outfits, boudoir styling and dressing up. The numbered Fashion Holdups, such as 443, 444, 446, 447, 450 and 453, each have their own pattern, so it is worth looking at the product images to compare them. The Black Secret 124 Embellished Hold Ups add decoration for a dressier look. Most styles are sheer black, so the pattern stands out against the leg.

Do Ballerina make seamed hold ups?

Yes. The 211 Lurex Backseam Hold Ups have an embroidered top band and a sparkly lurex seam. The Art 465 Fashion Hold Ups are sheer black with a peacock blue contrast seam and a deep lace top. The 553 Backseam Hold Ups come from the Gold Elixir collection, with detailing along the back of the leg. A seam adds a vintage look and draws the eye up the leg. For seamed styles from other brands, see Seamed Hold Ups.

Are there Ballerina hold ups in larger sizes?

The 363 Plus Size Sheer Hold Ups are made for fuller thighs, with an embroidered lace top and a slight shimmer on the leg. The 366 Floral Fashion Hold Ups are also cut as a plus size style, in black with sparkling embroidery near the top and lower leg. A wider top band spreads the grip more evenly, which helps hold ups stay up without digging in. These are grouped in Ballerina Plus Size, and other brands are in Plus Size Hold Ups.
