Fully fashioned stockings

Fully fashioned stockings are a type of fancy socks that go up to a lady's thigh or knee.

They are made in a special way, like how Mommy knits a sweater. But instead of using yarn, stockings are made with very thin threads called nylon.

To make the stockings, the nylon threads are carefully knit together to make small loops. Once these loops are formed, they are sewn together to create the shape of the stocking.

Fully fashioned stockings have a unique shape that follows the curve of a lady's leg. They also have a seam that goes up the back of the leg.

These stockings were very popular in the olden days, when women wore fancy clothes and wanted to look elegant. Nowadays, some ladies still wear them for special occasions or just to feel pretty.
