Extant examples of women's stockings can be found in Queen
Elizabeth's Wardrobe Unlock'd. Both are from the late 16th century.
Pictorial representations such as Pierto Bertelli's Cortigiana Veneza
(Venetian courtesan) can be found in Diversarum Nationum Habitus , 1591
(V&A Museum) & 1594-1596 ( Banca dati Biblioteca Riccardiana ).
For this project, I decided to make a new pair of
stockings. This time, I will make them longer, to allow for overlap
under the drawers. This will provide the layer required on the lower
half of the legs.
Decoration:
This was mainly for English
stockings. Eleanor d'Toledo's stockings were of red. Trimmings
mentioned, in Warrant of the Robes, included: welted
(tops) with vellat, tops stitched with Irish stitch, stitched toppes
and clockes, stitched with sondry silk colours, lace of silke, venice
gold and venice silver embroidery, red fringe, yellow silke worke,
red with red silke worke, red with yellow silke worke, grene with
sondry colours
