It wouldn’t be difficult to guess that the fashion for lace and net stockings came from France. In the 19th century, ladies’ skirts were getting shorter and shorter – if before that ladies’ stockings (and ladies’ feet) were hidden under big skirts, the shorter skirts allowed ladies feet and ankles and a bit above (and stockings too) to be admired. Lace stockings were knitted from thin cotton yarn treated with special chemicals and lightly singed. This yarn for thin knitwear products was known as fil d’écosse. A bit later stockings were developed made from Persian yarn fil de perse. They were much thinner and silkier. This Persian yarn was a lot more expensive than fil d’écosse. Only very rich ladies could afford stockings made from that yarn. At the end of the 19th century, the French chemist and engineer Hilaire de Chardonnet invented viscose, and there followed an era of smooth, silky, and relatively translucent stockings, which were affordable for women of any social standing. But the real revolution in stocking fashion happened in the 20th century, when Nylon was invented.
