Seamed Stockings

Using Hosiery Gloves to put on Seamed Stockings

Seamed stockings can be very expensive especially if you are purchasing vintage stockings. It is important to make the most of your seamed stockings and ensure they last a long time. Women who have long fingernails may find putting their seamed stockings on a bit challenging especially if a nail pokes through the nylon or snags the stocking. One way to prevent this is to wear hosiery gloves when putting on seamed stockings.

Hosiery gloves are relatively inexpensive and can be found in most places that sell hosiery. They will prolong the life of the seamed stockings and make putting them on a lot easier. Wear the gloves and gently slide the seamed stocking up your leg. Use your finger tips to ensure the seam is running straight up the back of your leg. With the help of the hosiery gloves, your seamed stockings will be put on straight and will not risk getting runs or snags from fingernails or rough skin.
