The mechanically made stockings came
with the invention of the knitting machine which arrived to France in
1600. The first machines could only provide plain stockings but very

designs were manufactured. Under the Revolution, the color changed and
only black stockings were to be worn.

They reappeared at the end of the
war and again were a massive success, causing incredible queues in front
of the stores. Round 1950, the seamless stockings appeared, available
in several colors and thinnesses. Nylon becoming less expensive, stockings
became more affordable. Nylons declined in the sixties and the arrival
of the miniskirt would make women wear rather tights.
