Point Heel Fully Fashioned Stockings became fabulously fashionable in the 1950s.
The point heel refers to how the stocking reinforcement comes to a pint at the top of the heel and is also sometimes known as a French heel.
The couture houses of France ensured that point heel Fully Fashioned Stockings were the height of fashion throughout the 1950s.
These glamorous seamed stockings are made on the same vintage Reading knitting machines that have been hard at work since the 1950s.
Please note that these stockings are both delicate and size critical. Our fully fashioned stockings are made to fit the average dress size UK 12 to 16, US 8-12 person, (40-44 European). The maximum thigh size that they will comfortably fit is 25" (63.5cm).
Unfortunately with only a handful of machines still running in the world, all going at top speed already, there simply isn't the capacity at the moment to develop a size for a larger leg which isn't very satisfactory but is beyond our control.
If you are very slender, and at the bottom height of 'your' size then you can size down.
Our fully fashioned point heel stockings are made from sheer 15 denier non stretch nylon although the nylon does have a little mechanical stretch.
Our Cuban Heel Fully Fashioned Stockings are made in Derbyshire in the UK.
