 (Please note: This is the “archive” of the collection of shoot props (generally lingerie/womens attire somehow) that I have gathered over the last 11 years of my career.
They are catalogued by number, and description for now as well as any other relevant information about their individual histories- how I came to have the items, what shoots they might have been used for, etc.
The style in which I document an item may vary according to the type of garment/object it is).

# 131 – Stockings
Black cut-off fish-net stocking hold-ups. Used in quite a few private commission shoots over the years.

# 132 – Stockings
White, sheer, cut-off stockings hold-ups. These have been used in quite a few shoots like the included image above but also many private commissions with “The Housewives”

# 133 – Stockings
Semi-sheer black stockings with a floral pattern. These have been cut-off to be used as hold-ups with a suspender belt instead since its always been so hard to find this kind of product in South Africa.

# 134 – Stockings
Deep indigo, gusseted sheer, stockings. handed down from an aunts old wardrobe. I’ve ended up with two very similar pairs- both have worked well in past shoots.
Found and liked this quote which is appropriate here:

The phrase “don’t bust a gusset” (a variation of “don’t blow a gasket”) is an admonition to calm down; becoming so enraged and inflated that one busted a gusset would imply extreme rage and expansion beyond one’s clothing capacity”

# 127 – Stockings
Sheer white hold-ups with a extra wide reenforced top for suspender belt clips.  I most likely got these in a lingerie set originally from passionfruit.co.za , its not easy to find these in SA.

# 128 – Stockings
Brown/black fish-net stockings which have been cut into hold-ups fore a shoot.

# 129 – Stockings
Footless-stockings with mesh, lace design in black from Woolworths.

# 130 – Stockings
Beige/flesh coloured stay-up stockings with lace detailing. These are almost always available from Woolworths, I bought this pair at  least 7 years back.

# 123 – Stockings
Red hold-up sheer stockings. These have been worked with a number of times. They’ve been hand cut into hold ups.

# 124 – Stockings

Sheer white hold-ups. These are not an easy find in Cape Town but come in many of the lingerie sets that Passionfruit.co.za sells locally.

# 125 – Stockings
A deep brown pair of hold-ups from the 90’s which have been shredded for a photoshoot.

# 126 – Stockings

These are the classic stay-ups that you can find in South Africa. Although they look pretty that latex band they use to keep them up is almost always problematic.
