Seamed stockings are a vintage style hosiery that has a vertical seam starting at the heel and ends at the welt (top) of the the stocking. Seamed stockings require a garter belt as do all true stockings. We also have seamed thigh highs which stay up on their own. There are two types of seamed stockings. Seamed stockings can have a faux seam on the back, or be fully-fashioned. Fully fashioned stockings are made on original 1950's machines and are truly perfect reproductions of hosiery from that era. Our
Marissa seamed stockings are a perfect example of a traditional fully fashioned stocking. Since fully-fashioned stockings are a difficult and time consuming to manufacture, they are usually more expensive, but we think they are worth it! Authentic full fashioned stockings are pure nylon and non-stretch. We have seamed stockings that are not full fashioned with a faux seam that have Lycra knit in for stretch if desired. Pure Nylon vintage style stockings fit much differently then stretch stockings. Stockings with Lycra tend to look smaller when removed from the package, but will stretch to fit. Traditional vintage style stockings such as our Trisha nylon stockings or our vintage Hanes style rht stockings look very long when removed from the packages, but are much shorter when put on. Please inquire if you have a size question, we are happy to help. Garter belts. Six strap garter belts usually hold up traditional nylon stockings more securely without bagging and for longer periods of time, especially if they are seamed. The six straps keep your seams straight! Pantyhose and tights are the same, but usually the term pantyhose means that the hosiery is sheerer. Sheer versus opaque. Opaque hosiery is heavier and less transparent. Our opaque stockings are 50 denier, which is generally the lowest that opaque hosiery can be. As the denier number rises, so does the opacity. So 100 denier microfiber or Lycra tights would be very opaque. 40 denier would be semi-opaque.
