Many shapely legs are spoilt by wearing stockings that are too glossy, for the higher the polish on the silk, the thicker the legs will appear. One can pick up really fine looking silk stockings quite cheaply, but unfortunately the majority of these bargains have faults, the most common one being the absence of a back seam. This important item y however, can be easily remedied ,by turning the stocking inside out and overstitching an imaginary seam up the hack of the hose, using for the purpose a silk thread of the same shade as the stocking. A seam run up on the machine is the most effective. When the seamings have been pressed with a warm iron, the result will be an expensive-looking pair of silk stockings that will make the legs appear smart and slim.
