    Nothing but Seamed Stockings

    I had this problem too. For me the solution, like the ladies here say, to wear a proper girdle with 6 straps, but also to make sure that the suspension of the stockings is neither too loose, nor too tight. If too tight, it simply feels uncomfortable – if too loose, well then the stockings start...

    Show us your vintage undies!

    I'm with you – almost – all the way...:) I wear shapewear, most often a 6 strap open bottom girdle, a bra (haven't tried a bullet style bra yet, though) and nylon stockings (preferably without stretch, and most preferably fully fashioned) on a daily basis – and for me the shapewear and the...

    Thank you for this reference. It also explains my experience with the company, which has been further supported by a mail I have received from a gentleman in this Forum. Sadly, this is often what you see with small family owned businesses; they cannot manage a change from one generation of...

    Magnolia Hosiery I am a dedicated stockings wearer, and during the years I have purchased quite a few pairs of fully fashioned stockings from the American manufacturer Magnolia Hosiery. The Magnolia stockings are in my opinion among the best – if indeed not the best – modern fully fashioned...

    Your Girdle: Make and Model

    For my taste the 1294 is just a bit to heavy for everyday use – i prefer the Rago 1365. It gives you good support, keeps your stocking seams are straight and blends in perfectly with your body movements.
