Decorated/Accented Hosiery

[16_sparrows]

I've been seeing a lot of hosiery in vintage photos with these ankle accents woven in the hose (as seen above). I really love this look and am wondering if anyone knows of a shop selling reproductions or similar hosiery?

(I know I've seen a shop once that carried this type of woven accent as a backseam, but I can't remember where I saw it.)

Have you tried Sock Dreams?

Ebay!

I'm a huge fan of sock dreams but haven't seen any hose like this. They do have wonderful knit knee-highs with accented knitting, but no nylon.

If you want fully-fashioned hosiery like this, basically the only place is vintage shops, ebay and alexis4u.com. Here is an example from my collection, and I'm pretty sure there's more discussion like this in the hosiery thread.

'Flocked'! So thats the term! :eusa_doh: I like terms, when I can remember them.

I am giving away a pair of flocked bow back hosiery in the Classifieds. If you are in the UK, Accessorize ROCKS for unusual stockings and hosiery. Sock Dreams is great, as well as your local thrift store.
