message: Why is there no description of what function this garment performs? Other than covering the legs....the same goes for the pantyhose article. What is the point of wearing them? -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Question2 (talk • contribs) 15:26, October 28, 2006
*Clearly someone who has never worn them! They're warm. Nekkid legs get cold. Goose pimples are boring and unaesthetic, as is shivering. As is frostbite. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 17:02, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Function of this garment 

message: Stockings are a covering of the foot and the leg. Socks are short stockings, though the term isn't common any longer (my grandmother used to always tell me to put on my stockings when referring to my socks).

thread_title:  stockings aren't always sheer 

message: Needed is some discussion of the coming of sheer flesh-colored stockings with the shortening of skirts in the 1920s; manufacture from silk followed by manufacture from nylon; and the importance of the seam before its disappearance circa 1950.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.214.59.212 (talk) 17:48, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

message: What about the stocking of shelves?  As in adding stock to an establishment, etc.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.21.254.68 (talk) 18:32, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  There are other definitions of stocking 

message: Is that a man in this picture? It says woman but i dont know! Not to mention some of the authors other pictures dont inspire confidence :Image:Stockings5.jpg:Image:Costume1.JPG :Image:Miniskirt.jpg →Black Tights 00:41, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: All the images you posted appear to be the same person, apart from the last one; if one is not immediately feminine, then they all won't. However, I think the last one is most definitely a woman. For the others, I think we go by the description on the images themselves. — metaprimer (talk) 02:41, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Additional link

message: We have "The first pantyhose made an appearance in the 1940s and 1950s..." followed by, "The introduction of pantyhose in 1959..."  If they were introduced in 1959, they cannot have been around in the 1940s.  Furthermore, the page on Pantyhose says, "...pantyhose appeared in the 1960s."  So a researcher can only pin down the appearance of pantyhose to sometime between 1940 and 1969 - 30 years! And they wonder why Wikipedia has a bad name?  46.64.69.255 (talk) 05:50, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Right. The introduction of pantyhose in 1959 was the first commercially-available pantyhose. The exact date may still need attention. Stage and film dancers have always had access to costume departments, so what dancers wore has really little to do with what women could buy in the store. I have rephrased the para.
