Be a Femme Fatale in our 1940s Black Cuban Heel Stockings. Although Cuban Heel Stockings were fashionable throughout the mid-20th century, the 1940s were the heyday of these beautiful nylons. Sheer black seamed stockings would have been reserved for evening wear in the 1940s. Luckily, today we’ve abandoned outdated fashion rules. One thing does remain: you’re sure to turn heads in these glamorous nylons. Our Black Cuban Heel Stockings are designed to fit up to a UK dress size 18, US size 14 and up to approx 29" thighs. They're made from sheer 15 denier nylon with elastane for stretch: 87% nylon, 10% elastane, 3% polypropylene. Very importantly they feature our signature wide, stretchy welt which is comfortable and period correct. All of our Glamour Seamed hosiery is made in Italy which is renowned as the home of high quality hosiery manufacturing.
