1920s-early 1930s sexy silk stockings. Before the 1920s, stockings were worn for warmth. In the 1920s, dress hemlines rose, and women began to wear silk stockings. The tantalizing exposure of the leg was first embraced by flappers and later adopted by mainstream fashion.
Measured flat, approximately:
9 inches toe tip to heel
Tall, 28 inches from thigh hem to center heel
Women budgeted for an average of 15 pairs of silk stockings a year, and mending was par for the course. These authentic vintage thigh-high stockings are snag and run-resistant. Previously worn, some period-specific repairs, see images. Color: Burnt Copper.
