...letting what must show be pretty. For that trim look, stocking manufacturers have lengthened hose to the full 38 in., are shortening the welt (reinforced stocking top) from 4 to H in.; Hanes, a leading stocking manufacturer, has eliminated the welt altogether. Another hosier has come out with "pecker" garters, which cover the stocking top with meant-to-be-seen lace; Dior has taken to decorating the top with flowers and Belle-Sharmer has stockings that fasten with snaps.
