Personal-fit stockings, with actual measurements involved. Realsilk was clearly not prepared to leave this to guesswork.

This original 1930s “All Modern Dianas” advertisement includes a series of period fashion photographs and discusses leg measurements for hosiery. It’s an interesting page for fashion and textile collectors. A reminder that getting clothes to fit has always required rather more effort than the cheerful language on the package tends to suggest.

THE DETAILS:

• Original period magazine page, sold unframed.
• Approximate size: 10 × 14 inches; portrait orientation.
• Approximate date: 1930s.

Condition: Vintage page with age toning and light edge wear; inspect photos for details. The exact page pictured is the one you will receive.

I carefully trim each page, place it in a protective sleeve with a sturdy backing board, and pack it with bubble wrap in a sturdy box. You’ll receive the original page shown in the photos, not a reproduction.

Framing: Vintage magazine sizes vary. Use the measurement-mat photo as a size reference, and choose a larger frame with a mat cut to fit this particular page.

I white-balance the photos to show the original colors as accurately as possible. Colors can still vary with your screen settings.
