Nylon to Nylons - How your stockings are made.

First introduced from the United States in the 1940’s Fully Fashioned Nylons are still being lovingly made here in England.

Burlesque nylons are made in Nottingham by one of four remaining genuine fully-fashioned stockings manufacturers in the world.

These fabulous luxury iconic stockings are made on genuine 1950's flatbed knitting machines.

Fully fashioned stockings are knitted flat, then fashioned by hand.
Every stocking is manufactured white and must be colour dyed.

They are then 'boarded' where each stocking is pulled over a flat wooden leg and steamed. This tightens the knit, defines the leg shape, and removes creases.

Quality Control - Each stocking is checked individually by hand and measured to ensure correct sizing. Stockings which do not meet exacting standards are rejected.
