"Rouge your knees and roll your stockings down... and all that jazz."
These Risqué rayon stockings, circa 1920s, embody the rebellious spirit of the era. Flappers, defying traditional norms by rejecting corsets and garters, favored rayon stockings for their high sheen and durability. One of the era's boldest fashion statements was rolling the stockings down to expose bare knees, a scandalous act just a decade after women were expected to be fully covered.
Rayon stockings were prized for their glossy, reflective sheen, though some women, especially those with more modest tastes, would apply face powder to reduce the shine. These vintage stockings, never worn and in the classic "French Tan" color, capture that era's daring allure. They can be worn with roll garters, a belted corset, a garter belt, or suspenders for a truly authentic 1920s look.
Stockings measured flat
10 inches toe tip to heel
25 inches from thigh hem to center heel
Care instructions: Handle with care once wet. While rayon is durable, these stockings can feel delicate when exposed to water. Gently lift and rinse them in lukewarm water, then allow them to air dry for 36 hours. Always take your time to ensure they maintain their quality.
