fashion history: the single line...

nothing is more sexy then the stocking with seams...paired with a perfectly fit pencil skirt...and meow! although they aren't worn often...as they were at one time...

during world war II...women found inventive ways to create the look...due to war rationing...stockings were hard to come by because nylon was needed to make parachutes...women used leg makeup (or cold tea) to darken their calves...then...using an eyebrow pencil...drew a line down the back to resemble a seam...

now that is what i call...being creative...
