  • Patent number: 4903345
    Abstract: A pair of stockings are joined at the inner upper edge to form an integral garment connected by a crotchpiece. The crotchpiece extends between the two upper leg portions after being sewn to a portion of the top edge of each stocking. The stockings are worn under, and supported by, a pair of conventional panties. Additional support comes from a circumferential elastic band formed at the top of each stocking by a unique combination of spandex, nylon and cotton yarns. The band fits snugly around the thigh to prevent the stockings from slipping downwardly.
