As I have been a boudoir photographer for many years I know a lot of tips on outfits to bring to your Brisbane boudoir shoot. I upload these tips regularly to my Instagram and Facebook pages.
Today I want to talk about stockings, as if clients aren’t informed they may bring the wrong types. Often they may just grab a packet at the shop, without looking at the type or size.
My first recommendation is to bring hold-up stockings to wear with your suspenders. The reason for this is that the stay-up stockings have a rubbery part underneath to help the stocking stick to your leg by itself, however this rubber also makes it very difficult to clip on the suspenders. The rubbery part on stay-up stockings can also dig into the skin and this can be unflattering for thighs. So choose hold-up stockings to wear with your suspenders.
Often clients bring stockings that are too short, in which case it is hard for the suspender to reach the stocking. That is why it is important that you choose the correct size. If you are tall (over 170 cm) make sure to buy Tall rather than Average.
However something that I had not been aware of until recently is that stocking size is also dictated by weight, so if you are up to 60 kg then it is recommended that you purchase Avge, and if you are up to 80 kg then it is recommended you purchase Tall.
There are sometimes even Extra Tall or Plus Size stockings. Please check the sizing charts if purchasing online, of ask a staff member if in doubt when purchasing in-store.
