Holiday Stockings ~ VFG Fashion Parade for the week of December 12th

Holiday Stockings
It's that time of year when our Grandmas tell the old tale of having to wear "woolen leggings" under their skirts, just to make the walk to school each morning. Nowadays, vintage legwear is a joy to behold. This week we celebrate the sock! We are pleased to parade out nylon or silk stockings, tights, patterned socks (men's,women's & children's), legwarmers, woolen leggings, itty bitty baby booties, stocking themed jewelry, and of course, actual Christmas stockings of all shapes, styles and sizes.

FUN FACT
Circa 1982: I posed in this shoe ad for a local shoe store (but wore my own red lace stockings in the photo).

Just added those WWI stockings to my actual Universal wish list, Amy : ). Could put them to very good use!

I love the stocking boxes...the video...and your ad, Laurie.

These things are from the house of a hoarder of countless wonderful old, unopened boxes of stockings, corsets, cosmetics, and so much more. she is over 100 years old now and still feisty. So, from her house are these Ceil Chapman stockings:

and these Lady Barelegs stockings from Peck & Peck:

and these Slip Nott stockings savers

Those WWI stockings are gorgeous, Amy.

Lynne, I never knew Ceil Chapman had a stocking line!
