Stockings Fashion

Stockings Fashion

Women of all ages, shapes, and sizes wear timeless looks with stockings fashion for a style that is as sexy, sweet, or professional as necessary. Stockings fashion was popular in the retro and pin up eras, with stockings worn for a variety of purposes and functions. Burlesque and flapper performers commonly wore stockings fashion to cover their legs, and women in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s often wore stockings to protect their legs and provide support in dresses.

Stockings fashion comes in a variety of styles and colors, everything from a simple nude for a barely there look, or bright, bold colors for a statement that either blends or contrasts with the dress or skirt accompanying them.

seamed stockings

Samed stockings

Samed stockings are often an important component of pin up and retro styles. Retro styles typically represent outfits worn in the 1920s through the 1960s or 1970s eras, including but not limited to flowing swing dresses, fitted pencil skirts, halter top playsuits with high-cut shorts, and sky-high stiletto heels. Many burlesque styles also call for seamed stockings, adding elongated legs to the sexy appeal of a corset top and shorts.

Seamed stockings typically have a seam down the back, creating a long silhouette. It’s a simple way to give the legs length with a sophisticated style brought to just about any skirt or dress. Even for lingerie, hold up seamed stockings create a sexy and seductive appeal. The elongation of the legs and classy look is why so many women lust after the look of seamed stockings.

To find the perfect pair of seamed stockings, there are a handful of online shops and boutiques that sell seamed stockings for lingerie, burlesque, and as an addition to any retro or pin up dress. Stockings HQ is one of the largest sellers of seamed stockings, nylons, pantyhose, hold ups and accessories on the Internet.

Seamed stockings don’t have to be worn with lingerie or a burlesque type of corset. They can be worn with pencil skirts, flowing swing skirts, pin up inspired playsuits, high cut retro shorts, and virtually any other style you feel works well with your seamed stockings. They elongate the leg and create a smooth silhouette, so if you’re looking to sophisticate an outfit and keep your legs warm without layering on all the clothes, seamed stockings may be the perfect addition to the style. Whether you’re into pin up, retro, rockabilly or the vintage look, seamed stockings remain timeless while still making a serious fashion statement regardless of your shape, size or even age!

From innocent girl-next-door housewife to sexy bombshell, the pin up look covers a wide range of personalities in amazingly figure-flattering designs.

Now the stick-thin mod styles of the 1960s and the lean and lanky look for ladies of the 1970s are all well and good for females who like to look pre-adolescent, but if you want to feel like a Real Woman then you need to get your curves on. A girdle, corset or a bullet bra from shops like Secrets in Lace, FairyGothMother or Playful Promises give structure to your shape, and some retro heels like the Ellie Shoes Penthouse Collection Open Toe Pinup Girl Heels sold at Baby Girl Boutique give your legs and bum a lovely lift. Don’t forget your seamed stockings like those sold at Ars Vivendi. With their long line leading up your legs and underneath your skirt they give all the gents about a bit of wonder and intrigue.

Do you like to feel truly sexy and have all eyes lock on you as you sashay across a room? Buy a sassy wiggle dress like the Sugar Dress in Red with Black Cherries from Collectif sold at Pinup Girl Clothing. A true wiggle dress has a hem narrower than its hip and this tiny base is what keeps the ladies’ legs together at the knee and creates the classic wiggle walk.

Pin up clothing styles include bombshell dresses, satin A-line swings, bustiers, boleros, cardigans and capris; sailor-style shorts and skirts, tailored military outfits, shapely gingham shirts and flouncy peasant tops. Tailored to make everyone a wasp-waisted and busty as they possibly can be, what’s the bottom line? Whether you are tall and skinny or have girth and a full rear, there is no need for despair because pin up clothing will make you fair!

Pin up fashion is all about lined red lips, curvy hips, polka dots and cherries, leopard prints and zebra stripes, buxom busts, pencil skirts and peep-toe shoes. Glamorous, fabulously feminine and flattering to all figures, the pin up look is both a statement of individual style and an art requiring a dash of boldness to pull off.

Decade after decade the world continues to be obsessed with pin up styles and for good reason! Classic pin up girls from the ‘30s ‘40s and ‘50s emerged during a time of greatest despair yet were filled with innocence, hope and straight-up sex appeal. Coming up on the heels of the Great Depression and gaining popularity through World War II, pin up fashions flattered the female figure like no other while combining the apparently opposite characteristics of girlish innocence and voluptuousness.

Pin up fashions enhance what is already there, then mask or redistribute anything extra in an exceptionally becoming manner. In the 1940s, a bikini swimsuit showed what was then considered a scandalous amount of skin that currently seems almost chaste, yet they continue to this day to be undeniably sexy. Cute, colorful and distinctly sensual, pin up clothing is traditional and wholesome, enhancing female attributes while seductively covering them.

If you like pin up fashion but have no idea where to start, begin with classic retro undergarments to shape your physique, like bullet bras, girdles, corsets and nylon back-seamed stockings found in shops like Ars Vivendi, Girdlebound or Purrfect Pineapples. Next, select your silhouette; if you want your hips to appear curvier, choose a pencil skirt, or narrow your waistline with a circle skirt over a petticoat. For an evening out grab a rockabilly dress from stores like My Baby Jo or Moxie Minx. For daytime choose an innocent or sophisticated day dress from Pinup Girl Clothing, Overdue or Unique Vintage. Always select styles that enhance your attributes, like a V-neck, peasant or sweetheart-collared blouse. Finally, slip into some teetering heels from Baby Girl Boutique or Starlets and Harlots, coif your hair into gentle, tumbling locks, line your eyes and paint on pouty lips to top off the pin up fashion look to perfection.

Specializing in demi-couture, off-the-rack and custom shape wear, corsets, iconic 1950s bullet bras and steamy seamed stockings, it is the baby of lingerie and fetish-wear designer Katie Halford.

Ms. Halford became enamored with the glamour of vintage fashions as a teenager and found it easy to acquire authentic retro clothing but could find very little vintage lingerie to help fill her outfits out, so she began to design her own. Post University Ms. Halford, who never wears trousers, worked for several years as a designer in a London fetish shop where she was inspired to follow her own unique fashion vision by opening her very own luxury lingerie boutique.

What Katie Did originally sold only seamed stockings like the ones Katie herself wore every day but their product line soon expanded to all varieties of lingerie, shape wear and corsets plusanything else that caught Ms. Halford’s fancy.

Named after a favorite children’s book, What Katie Did’s followers can now purchase everything from feminine white lace undergarment sets to fetishist-a steel-boned leather corsets and all styles between at their online shop, their Ebay boutique or directly from their stalls at weekenders like the Helmsby Rockabilly or Rhythm Riots. Describing her design style as “50s Goth” for its darker-than-Doris-Day feel, Katie’s lingerie is deliciously racy, oozing suggestive pin up girl glamour without a trace of seediness.

Her ‘Striptease’ tie-side knickers and bralettes are naughty yet glamorous, her cheetah-print ‘Josephine’ set is pure vintage sex kitten and her ‘Hollywood’ line is straight-up 1930s starlet. Ms. Halford, who confesses to being an impatient seamstress, creates simple patterns that can be fabricated quickly by a skilled hand without compromising on quality or fit, and will consistently deliver alluring wasp-waists and lusciously generous curves to each body they grace.

What Katie Did ships worldwide with most orders arriving 3 to 10 days from when they were placed, no matter where your location. Orders can be placed online or by telephone and payments are accepted via PayPal and most major credit cards, which will be charged in UK pounds sterling.
