Any ladies here got a liking for 'spotties'? I guess they are a bit 80's fashion so not seen very often these days.
Personally I've always thought they compare very nearly to seams in their allure

I'm not a lady, but yes, I've always had a fondness for them too - though I think they have a different allure to seams (fun vs sophistication maybe).

I was in Dorothy Perkins with MrsAT the other day and saw a pair on a manequin display, So they may be on the comeback.

Oh yes, I love spotties! I have a variety of vintage 80s stockings with dots, spots, dashes, bows etc - but is annoying when they finally ladder and I can't get any more.

Oooo yeh I like them..
I have collected a few pairs of Christian Dior polka dot stockings from the 80s over the last few months and can't wait to play count the dots with the lady in my life and for her to drive me dotty

Greetings All.
Excuse the query, part of being on the west side of the pond I'd guess, but what are "spotties"?
Thanks, I think,

'spotties' are polka dot stockings...i think !
I quite like them, they were popular in the 80's which as a child growing up they formed part of my likes & dislikes and make me think back to my happy childhood (but enough therapy for now)
so i guess thats one reason, plus they show a bit of individuality - a nice break from the norm.

Greetings Danaldo.
Thank You for the education. I thought that may have been the reference. I don't recall those being very big stateside but have and still see a plethora of examples about, usually on eBay and also in the $Dollar Stores and second hand outlets, almost exclusively as tight/pantyhose and I probably have some languishing about in buried boxes myself.
And now I know more then I did previous. I'd best have a drink on that and I'll have one for you too. Gosh, any excuse will do.
Cheers,
Dworkin

I agree with what you said about your experiences of the 80s and Polka dot stockings. Thats probably why I like them too as it makes me think of Happy Times..

I don't think they were stockings, but I saw a girl in spotties yesterday while I was shopping, so they must still be available somewhere.

I've managed to get hold of a couple of pairs of Jonathon Aston pin spotted stockings in sizes A & B if anyone's interested? I found them in my local market hall cos Google wasn't throwing anything interesting up.
Anyone want to make me an offer for them?

I'm annoyed now. Just ordered some spotties from the SIL site, got right up to paying for them.... and found out that they only accept credit cards.
Not happy now. Can someone find me spotties in the UK please!

Ebays a good place to look for polka dot stockings as well. Christian Dior pairs come up quite often it seems.

Any chance we can have some patterned holdups too ?
Mrs D will wear holdups as part of her everyday outfits, but it has to be something a little special for her to wear suspenders but she loves patterns & fishnets...Which reminds me - does anyone know of full toe fishnets to stop her pinkies from poking through ?

What about putting sheers under the fishnets?

That would be like asking her to wear 2 pair of knickers.
