Once upon a time, I had a couple of silk jersey T-shirts. From what
I remember about them, the stretch and recovery were pretty
good. Granted, there is more movement and stretch needed in
stockings. The neat thing about the T-shirts was that they were so
light, it almost felt like you weren't wearing anything, but they
added warmth to a simple shirt worn over them.

Probably... You might have to play with bits of it, to test for
stretch, etc. Silk's not the most resilient of fibers, and I've never had
any that was knitted as fine as a jersey, so I don't know how the
non-stretchy silk and the stretchy knit construction would interact around
your ankles, etc.
