Regency Openwork Cotton Stockings ~ Pure White
Regular price $16.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Historically accurate, thigh high cotton stockings, the Regency Openwork Cotton Stockings have a wonderful openwork design centered on the foot and front of the leg. Based closely on extant examples, the design starts with a charming tree shape at mid-calf and continues down to the top of the toe. These also feature a simulated seam running along the back of the leg.
Historical Note: Styles of openwork patterns began to appear in stockings near the beginning of the 19th century. They continued to change and elaborate into the early 20th century. Embroidered openwork and lace inserts in both silk and cotton were seen on many fashionable feet throughout these years. From Regency to Victorian and into the Edwardian Era this style was quite popular, as evidenced by the many extant examples surviving in museum collections today.
Pure White. One size fits most. Made in USA.
(Note: Stockings can only be returned in new condition)

Regency Clocked Silk Stockings ~ Silver Grey
Regular price $26.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.
These historically accurate Regency Clocked Silk Stockings have a beautiful clocking pattern on both sides of each ankle, are thigh high, and are made of a very fine silk knit. Extremely soft, lightweight and comfortable to wear!
Historical Note: "Lace clocks" were a result of various attempts by hosiers in the 1760s to create an openwork fabric, which led to lace clocks, then to machine-made lace. Lace had for centuries been made only by hand. A form of lace was produced on a stocking frame around 1769.
Available in Silver Grey, Black, or Cream. Silk Knit. One size fits most. Made in the USA.

Regency Crown Clocked Cotton Stockings ~ Red and Black
Regular price $16.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.
These are historically accurate, thigh high, cotton stockings with a lovely crown design on the ankle! Available in 4 different color combinations with a beautiful clocking pattern on both sides of each ankle.
Historical note: Clocking is defined as "a short embroidered or woven ornament on each side or on the outer side of a sock or stocking, extending from the ankle upward." Although it's origins are barely recorded, the use of ornamentation at the top of the gore area on stockings goes back centuries. For example- In 1695, Isobel Hunter was bound to apprentice for five years to Barbara Henderson in Edinburgh to be taught "embroidery of all sorts, white seam, lace and stocking-working" as well as "drawing and draughts" and writing. By the early 1700's the hand embroidered clocking decoration could be imitated on the stocking frame.
Please note: because of the type of knit, the cross stretch is limited on these stockings and they may be snug on some, but in general one size fits most. Made in USA.
(Note: Stockings can only be returned in new condition)
