This time of year means party dresses and high heels which is not to be complete with out stockings! What a wonderful time of year!
I've recently been looking at vintage stocking ads and am enamored by the selection of different types of heels associated with the ever glamorous back seamed fully fashioned stockings. Before they had machines that could knit in the round (tubular) seamed stockings were all you had. While FFS still exist, they are becoming harder to produce as many of the original factories and hosiery mills have closed. Most modern designs are stitched on over the tubular stocking.
Of course there are the classic style heels:
Cuban: Reinforced heel design ending in a square top.
Havana: Same as the Cuban but wider.
French, Point, or Pyramid: Ending in a tapered point.
Manhattan: Similar to the Cuban but ending in a point with an outline.
See below for some classic heels as well as some party essential fashion choices that were available!
