Dear Poppy,
I have to say that my legs aren’t as shapely as they used to be when I was younger. I am dancing in the up coming Summer Showcase and need to cover up, to support, and to make my legs look beautiful. What type of pantyhose do you suggest look best and give good support at the same time?

Dear Searching For A Miracle,
Oh my, there is a lot that I can say about pantyhose. First of all, the best support and my highest recommendation are fishnets that are close to or match the color of your skin and are made specifically for dancing. They are a bit tight but allow your natural skin tone to come through and will give you support and the results that you’re looking for. The most important thing to remember about covering your legs and feet when performing is to keep the color neutral or the same as the color of your skin. When we dance there is a line that flows through our body and extends out from our limbs, and we want this line to flow and to look beautifully infinite. Another thing to remember is to keep all skin exposed the same color. No light hose with tan arms or tan hose with light arms. It’s a distraction rather than a complement. Finally, I can’t say enough about SHEER TO THE WAIST! There are many miraculous advances in technology these days and sheer to the waist pantyhose are up there in my top 10. Believe me, ladies, wearing bloomers does nothing for your sex appeal and does not hide your thighs. Now is the time to move into the future and put on those sheer to the waist pantyhose and some dance pants. Break a leg!
