Step into the Jazz Age with antique 1920s silk mesh fishnet stocking. Rare, tall seamed hosiery offering authentic flapper elegance and vintage charm. Scandalous for the period, these silk flapper mesh stockings in "Golden Glow" color were a fast gal's favorite. The (fishnet) mesh openings reveal the skin, making the leg appear nude from a distance.
Size: Stockings measured flat (not stretched) approximately:
10 inches toe tip to heel
Tall, slender fit, 30 inches from thigh hem to center heel
Condition: Rare find! Unwashed (let us know in the comments on your order if you want us to handwash for you before shipping and add an extra day on shipping time), some small holes and period-specific repairs.
Care Instructions: Hand wash, hang dry. Do not stretch or wring.
Styling suggestions: Wear with a corset, garter belt, suspenders, or roll garters. Museum-worthy, these would make an excellent addition to any collection.
More Information: During the 1920s, American hosiery manufacturing mills (heavily concentrated in states like Pennsylvania and North Carolina) were rapidly ramping up silk production to meet the flapper era's booming demand for mesh stockings.
