There were so many options by that time. Lots of machine-made stockings. Remember that seams on nylons were around through the 1950s. Shaped, seamed stockings would be nicer than machine-knit in the round.
There is something written about that time about how to dress with taste, and I think it had some info about stockings. Also there are Amish cotton stockings that are fairly fine, if you want something opaque and unobtrusive. -Carol > Something along these lines: > http://archive.org/stream/columbiabookofya02schu#page/202/mode/1up > > from the Columbia Book of Yarns, 1916 edition. > > > Ann in CT > > ________________________________ > I'm outside my usual area of 19th century clothing.
