Ballerina Ash Ash White Patterned Hold-Ups Review by Honey

Watch Honey’s full review of the Ballerina Ash Ash White Patterned Hold-Ups. These white hold-up stockings from Ballerina arrive in elegant, refined packaging that made a strong first impression, and Honey received them as a gift from the brand, trying them on live for the very first time during this review.

The stockings are made from lycra and elastane, the classic hosiery construction, and come in a single size S-M. Honey typically takes an M-L or L in European-sized hosiery, so she had reservations about the fit going in. The packaging describes them as made in Europe, though no denier figure appears anywhere on the box or the stocking itself. Based on their appearance and weight, Honey estimates them to be around 20 denier.

Key observations from the try-on include:

• Lace band: beautifully embroidered, decorative, and described as very fine and elegant
• Toe reinforcement: present but extremely subtle, barely visible against the white fabric
• Pattern: a tone-on-tone woven design running the length of the stocking, including across the foot
• Silicone grip: strong enough that the stocking was difficult to peel apart, suggesting it will stay in place well on the thigh
• Length: despite being size S-M, the stockings reached a comfortable, generous length on Honey’s leg
• Fit at the thigh: snug without digging in, with no sausage-casing effect at the band

Putting them on was straightforward. Honey reported no snagging, no laddering, and no difficulty during the process. The stockings felt comfortable and allowed free movement. One small concern arose during the session: Honey noticed a tiny hole near the patterned area of the band, which she believes she may have caused herself while handling the stocking close to the camera. It remained the same size throughout the review, but she flagged it as something that could widen over time.

The white colourway is the clear talking point here. White hold-ups can be tricky to style, but Honey found the tone-on-tone pattern and the delicate lace top kept the overall look refined rather than costume-like. She tried them with both a floral dress and a kimono, and in both cases felt the stocking complemented rather than clashed with the outfit. The toe reinforcement, often a visual weak point on open-toe shoes with hold-ups, was so imperceptible on these that it caused no bicolour effect when worn with an open shoe.

Honey concluded the review with a strong verdict: the Ballerina Ash Ash hold-ups rank in her personal top three favourite hold-up stockings. She had not encountered the brand before receiving this pair and was impressed enough to plan future purchases, specifically hoping to find the same style in other colours, mentioning black and brown as colours she would look for. A highly recommended product, with the only caveat being to handle the delicate patterned band with care during wear.
