DETAILS

Accession numberRMG-4016MeasurementsH990 x W160mmHistoryThe top of the stocking could be clipped to a suspender belt attached to a girdle or corset or held tightly by a garter on the upper thigh. At the beginning of the 1900s wealthy women often wore luxuriously decorated stockings although they were hidden from view by long skirts. Ironically, as hemlines rose and stockings became more visible, designs became plainer.
