On the left, two pairs of stockings embody the spirit of the First World War. The first pair showcases intricate embroidery of Allied flags, including the Union Jack, French Tricolor, and the Irish tricolor, adorned with shamrocks and ribbon garters in Allied colors. This patriotic embellishment was a popular choice among debutantes, allowing them to express their allegiance and support for the Allied forces. On the right, a charming pair of stockings featuring playful squirrels frolicking at the ankles, designed by the renowned hosiery brand Peter Robinson. These novelty stockings offered a delightful contrast to the more serious and patriotic designs of the time.
