Mostly Square Things are pleased to offer a SINGLE pair of :

Aristoc Harmony Imperfect* Seamed Stockings in Coriander 15 denier Size : 9.5 The Suspense BNIP

These are so called Undergrads – Slight Seconds

But all so perfect for the Skintone Theme


We like to regularly release a group of items with a Theme

Our Theme for these is : The Suspense is (you can search for the others...)

For Stockings and also the means of their Suspense


These date from between 1975 to the mid 1980s and from the art style of the packaging I would say that these are from later in that period

They have the amazingly confident off-centre packaging art which looks as if both the models are having fun with the female model laughing while looking towards the audience. It is vivacious and charming and an unbelievably difficult piece of photography and art styling. Just incredible AND a lovely product

The equivalent product in a seamless style was the Aristoc Tango (we have a few available too)

They are a Classic Era product which have recently been brought into production again

These are Originals

With an amazing Point Heel longer than typical of most contemporary styles with shadow edging all around for the immediately identifiable and utterly classic Harmony Point Heel and Seam

If you are not used to stocking sizings : They are really important because of the lack of stretch in older 100% nylon stockings – there is some stretch obviously

You really need to take account of the foot length because the Foot of the Stocking will be shaped

Here it is 9.5 – provided in inches = 23.5 cm – 24.8 cm (UK shoe size 5)

This sits within the modern Medium size range at the lower end

IF the Foot length : Toe to Heel does not sit within that range

Then these are not going to fit comfortably !


Coriander is best described as being closest to Honey of the colours on the Legwear International colour scheme if that makes any sense


Nylon 100% for a classic Seamed look

with the classic Harmony Point Heel and Reinforced Toe in a Fully Fashioned style


These were made in the UK


New in their (slightly damaged) packaging

There is mild creasing running along close to the the rear top margin

while at the front there is minor creasing the right margin and lower corner and a small slit tear in the inner paper just above the female model’s extended knee


Sizing is shown on the rear of the packet

Please do ask if you need advice on sizing

We want you to receive a correctly sized and well fitting product


We have other The Suspense is products available

We have a near identical product as a Perfect

But if these are not to your size or taste then maybe diamonds are a girls best friend

but do draw our attention to this because it can be missed

This will almost always lead to an overall cost saving – we try to do postage at cost

We are a Carbon Conscious supplier and take pains to reduce our carbon intensity

While we aim to supply the UK market – small items such as these are probably not economic to ship abroad
