Kelly,
I just did a long posting entry here about pantyhose and its benefit, myself in it most of the time.

Stockings and garter, wao ! I must say, I have pair of corset that comes with garter belt. I think I made mistake of buying it a corset style , is way too hot to be worn in Malaysia. Wacoal was the brand, if I remember correctly. I came across triumph before , full matching bra and panty set that comes with garter belt, that maybe good option to try, metal clip is a must for safety, while hectically running around the last thing to expect is the plastic clip gave way...in malaysia choice of practical day to day use of garter is pretty limited, many thought of it as for bedroom use.. maybe internet is a better place to shop.

Stockings that designed for garter belt usually does not have elastic bands around it, I happen to buy a pair while traveling, it will not stay up properly without garter, nice that it did not leave behind nasty looking mark like knee-hi. Having said that, garter belt and stocking probably is best for humid condition like Malaysia. Good for you,..

I am more into support style pantyhose out of necessity , if you are on your feet all the time, might be good for leg health in long run. Maybe you should check out support style stocking that provides better compression..

1 nice thing about stocking is, with one leg ruined, another usually is still good to go. Save on $$$

@Kelly,
Thanks for the kind offer on the corset.

Ya, the stockings designed for garter belt usually do not have elastic band around it like stay up do, that is the difference. I did not see any locally, some internet place probably available.

I read somewhere that, usually is best to leave belt at maximum length, get the stockings clipped on properly , then only starts adjusting by pulling the clip upwards to the desirable height, at least that what I did and it seemed to work. Another hint, wear underwear outside, is more convenient to visit washroom.

good luck to your venture
