![]() ![]() When I add a touch like bakelite brooch and FF stockings, it makes me feel a little more vintage. Sometimes, when I'm dressed vintage, I don't feel like I look vintage enough. It's so sad that such a lovely touch to an outfit can have such a stigma attached to it. But, like you other ladies, I'm not sure if I'd add this touch to an outfit if I was going out alone at night. Well, I'm gonna keep wearing them for I like the way they complete the vintage look, and the way they make me feel. I guess I would have felt more uncomfortable is I was alone. ![]() He ended up sitting right next to me in the theater. When I was walking away from the snack counter, I noticed him behind me staring at my legs (believe me, there's not much to stare at! I have stumps!). I was self conscious through the entire movie, because the man next to me kept looking at my legs. I had on a cute day dress with matching bag and shoes, and FF stockings. I dressed vintage to go see "Hollywoodland" this past Sunday. It just takes a bit of work to wear them. When I wear mine, and I'm sitting down, I always make sure that the top part of the stocking isn't showing. Bottom line (no pun intended), men think they are sexy, I feel pretty when I wear them. I love my FF stockings, but I completely understand what you mean. I just wish seamed stockings were back in vogue! If they are, they haven't reached the Midwest yet! Right now though, I'm not comfortable with the male attention that my seamed stockings give-unless it's my husband! On a side note, I did have a lady compliement me on my dress and she just raved over my seamed stockings. I figure I would be like the K-Mart flashing blue light and attract the wrong kind of people. Now there will be more "seams" exposed on my legs if I wear my seamed stockings. ![]() I still love my seamed FF stockings and I've been shortening my skirts and dresses to about 2" below the knee-they look so much better on my petite 5' 4" frame (thanks ladies for that great thread about skirt length!). My husband thought it was funny and suggested to save seamed FF for special occasions and just wear my unseamed FF stockings for everyday wear-I'd blend in better with the pantyhose crowd. And I definitely don't want to get confused with those women. Apparently, some women who have specific "extracurricular activities" in the evening wear seamed FF stockings too. I've decided to forego wearing my seamed FF stockings in public unchaperoned and definitely not at night. I told him he wasn't that old-older than me, but not from the Golden Era. When I got home I told my husband about it and he said that the guy probably was enjoying "the view" and may of been reminiscing the good old days when women wore dresses and stockings all the time. I do enjoy being my own person and wearing what I like. I'm not flamboyant and lean more towards being conservative, but I'm not a prude either. The whole incident left me a little bit unsettled. But he was gone, or at least I didn't see him when I left. While I was bagging up my groceries I wondered if this creepy guy would be waiting out in the parking lot. Fortunately, it was getting busy and "Mr. I got so flustered that I kept forgetting items on my list and I had to zigzag all around the store to find them. OK, that's not so bad, but everytime I turned around it seemed this guy was there with that same weird grin on his face. I knew he had gotten a peek of my stockings. He had a strange cheshire cat grin on his face. Apparently, when I bent over in the cooler to pick up some milk a man (not a gentleman) was behind me waiting with his cart. I even had matching shoes and a purse to compliment my outfit. I wore a nice vintage-inspired dress and a pair of seamed fully fashioned stockings. Last week I was at a grocery store in the middle of the afternoon doing my twice a month stock-up shopping.
