101. Stockings with seams?
Thu Apr 23, 2026, 01:36 PM
2 hrs ago

I remember my mother, born in 1922, telling me that if young ladies didn’t have stockings with seams they would use eyebrow pencils to draw faux seams on their legs.

Getting those lines straight must have been tricky, or maybe they helped each other out.
