I actually really like white stockings and dig hold ups too.
I hate it though when they are worn too short, such as with the "Sexy Nurse" or "Sexy Schoolgirl" look every Halloween. You shouldn't see the lacy tops of the stockings until the skirt or dress comes off.
Agreed on the bustier. Honestly, I think pulling off a longline bra is a true art. They can either come off as way too sexy try-hard, like the bustier in question, or they just look like a bland undervest. I think it's a balance of having a feminine style and being the right length, which for me is exposing the midriff...maybe a little higher. There used to be some longline examples in the tried-and-true Sears catalog that really got my imagination going, but I am strained to think of a good example of a longline in a movie. They always either go the "too sexy" or "too vesty" extreme.
On topic of undies and theater, I've said this before, but I think what makes the other famous EUF play, Rocky Horror, work so well is they never try to change Janet or the type of clothes she wears. She's always dressed in some churchy outfit with sensible underwear underneath. The director never tries to put her in a hip outfit or in naughty lingerie. Part of Janet's whole character arc is she's a prude who gets stripped to underwear, which she has to run around in for half the show, and then becomes sexually awaken. Putting her into some hot red, sheer lacy bra and thong wouldn't work with that.
