Watch Brunella’s full review of the Sofsy Red Backseam Hold-Ups. These are a pair of red hold-up stockings described as Made in Italy, reviewed here in size XS, which corresponds to a first or second size. They come packaged in a plastic envelope with a cardboard insert, and Brunella notes that the packaging does not immediately make the product type obvious from the outside.
At 20 denier, the stockings have a noticeably shiny, glossy finish and a very vivid, strong red colour. Brunella remarks that the shade is bold and eye-catching, making them a high-impact choice for anyone who wants to stand out. The fabric feels very soft and pleasant to the touch, which she returns to repeatedly throughout the review as the standout quality.
The hold-up band is described as quite wide, and it features double silicone strips running around the inside. Brunella finds these strips wide and substantial enough to keep the stockings firmly in place while walking, reporting that they did not slip or move by even a millimetre across two different outfits during the review session.
Key product details noted by Brunella include:
- Double silicone grip band: wide and secure, prevents slipping during wear
- 20 denier weight: sheer with a pronounced glossy sheen
- Vivid red colour: strong visual impact, recommended for evenings out or club wear
- Raised backseam: runs the full length of the thigh and is genuine relief stitching, not a printed line; the brand name is also embroidered along it
- Height: reaches almost to the base of the seat, reducing any risk of the band showing under a short dress
- Size XS reviewed: Brunella advises checking sizing before purchase
The backseam is a genuine raised seam rather than a flat printed line, and Brunella specifically appreciates this detail. The brand name is stitched into the seam itself, which she feels adds a further decorative touch. The seam runs the entire length of the back of the leg, giving a classic, defined look.
In terms of durability, Brunella reports no runs or ladders after wearing the stockings for the full review. There is one very small mark she attributes to her own long nails catching the fabric while putting them on, but she is clear this was user error rather than a fault with the product. Apart from that minor incident, the stockings held up without damage.
Brunella tried the Sofsy Red Backseam Hold-Ups with two different outfits, both times pairing them with black heels to create a colour contrast. She recommends them for a night out or a party, noting that the colour and backseam together create a striking, noticeable look. Her overall verdict is positive: comfortable, secure, soft, and free of any defects she could fairly attribute to the product itself.
