Vintage ladies stockings lot of 2 pair

These vintage stockings are made of an incredibly fine silk, giving a sheer effect against the skin. There are re-enforced panels around the foot and stocking welt, with a sewn seam up the center back of each stocking. 1920s fashions saw skirt hemlines rise dramatically compared to previous decades, so the visibility of hosiery meant there was much more experimenation with patterns and colours. The 1920s was arguably the period in which sheer stockings first became popularised. As an indirect consequence, it was also the period in which shaving-related advertising began to target women (and so buy their products), citing the necessity of smooth legs beneath sheer hosiery. These stockings have strict washing instructions, be sure to wash the garments gently and avoid harsh chemicals and scrubbing. Silk stockings would have been an expensive luxury back then. You will receive both pair shown.
