jan 1, 1737 - Stockings
Description:
Women's stockings, until the middle of the seventeen-thirties, were of all colors, green being one of the favourites. They were worked with clocks (small fancy threading) of gold, silver, or coloured silks. Around 1737, however, there was a sudden rage for white stockings. In actuality, very little of the stocking was seen, as dresses were never shorter in this period than to be just above the ankles.
