Ballerina
Ballerina is a Polish hosiery house, and hold-ups make up most of what we stock from it, with tights and a few stockings too. Over 100 styles come in black, skin, white, ivory and grey, with black and red or black and emerald for more colour. The fabric is mainly polyamide with elastane, and a few styles add cotton.
Ballerina sizes by hip and height, so choose from your measurements rather than your dress size, and look for XL and XXL if you need more room. As with all hosiery, a pair that has been opened cannot be returned, because it is sealed for hygiene.
Are Ballerina hold-ups suitable for bridal wear?
Yes. White and ivory shades feature in our Bridal collection, with Ballerina among its leading brands.
How do I choose between S/M and L/XL?
Match your hip and height to the chart. Sizes are paired, so each one covers a range rather than a single measurement.
Do they stay up without a belt?
The silicone grip band does that job, provided the size suits your hips and the band sits snugly.
