This is only a guide which should help in finding your vintage nylon stocking size, but may not be Ideal for every one.
Sizing is not an 100% science and can require trying different size nylon stockings to find a size perfect only for you.

Please considers: We do not take over a warranty for the passport form with the selection according to table. The values serve only orientation.

Keep in your mind that manufacturer's sizes vary from one brand to another.

Vintage nylon stockings are not stretch and do not have the elasticity of modern type stockings or pantyhoses.

As with all classic-styled nylons, we suggest washing them in fine fabric wash, before using, to relax the fibers for a silkier, and better fit.

 

NOTE:
Please note that due to limitations in photography and the inevitable differences in monitor settings, the colors shown in the photograph may not correspond 100% to those in the items themselves.
