As worn by Dannii Minogue in Sunday Times Style magazine (Nov 2009).
Sensational, affordable seamed stockings that are as hard-wearing as they are comfortable, and as practical as they are glamorous. They are made from 100% nylon with a stretch and slight shaping, to ensure they fit a variety of leg shapes and sizes. The seam itself is not sewn, but it's slightly raised, so it can be both seen and felt, and the shaped heel is cuban style.
Choose from the perfectly authentic shade of vintage nude or classic, sheer black, and don't worry about them being period correct: stretch nylon was used just as much as non stretch nylon in the 1940s and 1950s.
Details: * Cuban heel * 20 denier * The seam isn't an imitation zig zag, but isn't as prominant as a sewn seam - it lies somewhere in the middle of the two.

H2001 15 Denier Seamed Stockings
Description:
Classic seamed stockings made from 100% non stretch nylon. Extremely sheer and surprisingly durable, they are made on modern machinery, but feature a sewn seam for a very convincing alternative to fully-fashioned stockings.
The shaped point heel will stay securely in place, so that when paired with one of our 6-strap suspender belts, you need never worry about your seams going askew!
Choose from nude, sheer black or deep chocolate for perfect vintage pins!
Details: * 100% non stretch nylon * Sewn seam * Point heel
Sizing: The sizing of these stockings is a little skimpy as they are French made and designed to be worn lower on the leg. The welts (stocking tops) do not stretch and will be uncomfortble for legs larger than a size 16.
Name:
H2002 15 Denier Contrast Seamed Stockings
Description:
Striking and sophisticated, these beautifully sheer 15 denier stockings have all the same features as our plain 15 denier version, but they feature a contrast colour foot, seam and welt.
Made on modern machinery from 100% non stretch nylon, the stockings feature a sewn seam that makes it rather hard to tell them apart from real fully fashioned nylons.
The shaped point heel of these stocking is a lovely detail that helps your seams stay in the right position... especially when teamed with one of our 6-strap suspender belts!
Details: * 100% non stretch nylon * Sewn seam * Point heel
Sizing: The sizing of these stockings is a little skimpy as they are French made and designed to be worn lower on the leg. The welts (stocking tops) on the nude/black, grey/black and pink/black versions do not stretch and will be uncomfortble for legs larger than a size 16. The nude/blue and black/red welts do stretch.

H2011 15 Denier Contrast Seamed Hold Ups
Description:
Many ladies are (rightfully) wary of holdups, but our version has converted even the most dedicated 'proper' stockings-wearers! They feature an authentic-looking contrast sewn seam and a deep, satin-topped, contrast hold up band that is backed with super-grippy silicone; resulting in a stocking that combines the allure and glamour of the past with the convenience of today. They are also very luxurious and durable – with our stockings you really do get what you pay for.
If you sometimes find wearing a suspender belt hard work, but you've had enough of holdups not actually holding up (and haven't we all!), then these high quality seamed stockings are just the ticket. In period perfect shades of black and coffee, they sport an authentic sewn seam and a deep satin welt backed with high quality, grippy silicone. These beauties really should not budge all day! They're the last word in vintage glamour, but with all the comfort of modern technology, and worn by many hardened real stockings wearers – high praise indeed.
