Criollo Forcella has a thing for vintage nylons and stockings and we’re lucky to reap the benefit. Her shop, No.9 Nylons, sells hosiery: stockings, pantyhose and fishnets, and even some lingerie. Her details are great and prices are reasonable, with a package of seamed stockings and separate garter belt starting at L$39.
In the pic to the left is one of only a few ensembles N0.9 offers. It is the Comtesse in Champagne, which is L$ 169 and includes 3 styles of garter belt, panties, bra, little ruffle prim skirt, and gloves. The stockings are separate. The pair in the picture are the special vintage edition in cream, which is L$ 129 but includes a 1950s style 8 strap garter belt. With the seam and reinforced toe and heel, it really is a trip back to days before pantyhose. A similar vintage pair of stockings is only L$59 if you want the look without the detail.
This is another of the No.9 lingerie sets, Corsage Noir, for just L$139. The stockings, again separate, are Shiny Dark and go for L$59.
In my real life I avoid pantyhose like the plague and I might dig through the closet for stockings once a year, but my Second Life self loves the look and getting them on and off with just a click is much better than RL, so No.9 Nylons has a fan here. Most of the shop is given over to hosiery with package deals available on nearly everything. Run yourself over to get some hose that will never run.
