Summary

NoS Summary - stockings - what and how to wear them.
British Pathe synopsis: Introductory intertitle reads: "At no time in Fashion history have stockings played so prominent a part as today - especially to those gifted with perfect "understandings" C/U of a woman’s legs from the knee downwards. She is wearing seamed stockings. A velvet cloak is lowered over her legs. "But how often do we notice shapely limbs spoiled by crooked seams -?" Another C/U of the legs - this time with crooked seams. "Or some Eve emphasising thick ankles by square heels - " C/U of another pair of legs with seamed stockings and black shoes. "The newer pointed heels vastly improve a case like this - " Another shot in the same vein with the new style stockings displayed. The woman turns and we see her feet in C/U. "Knee creases, too, are very prominent today, if not corrected - " C/U of a woman’s knees and lower legs. Her stockings are very creased at the knees. "Just little things - but they matter much to those Eves who desire to be correct." M/S of two women chatting in a lounge room setting. Dissolve into C/U of two pairs of legs, one pair ensconced in the square heeled stockings, the other in the new pointed heels version. The women turn to display the front of their feet.
