Victorian Embroidered Stockings graphic tank hard to notice and getsStunning cream colored stockings with beautiful floral embroidery on the front. Stockings are a bit difficult to date, as they did not change much in style over a few decades, but I have seen similar designs with this kind of embroidery in catalogs from the 1870s up until the 1910s. I did not find any markings, aside from a very faded stamp inside the top, which may be a number 6, but I can't quite make it out. I am not sure of the fabric content.
