What Katie Did – Fully Fashioned Cuban Heel Stockings (Copper)

Step back in time with stunning Fully Fashioned Cuban Heel Stockings in a rich, vintage-inspired copper shade. The defining feature of Cuban Heel stockings is their distinctive heel finish—a long, rectangular shape that’s squared off at the top of the ankle—capturing the authentic glamour of the 1940s.

These luxurious stockings boast a meticulously sewn back seam, delicate picot edging, and a finishing loop (keyhole), all hallmarks of true fully fashioned hosiery craftsmanship.

• Classic 15 denier nylon for sheer, elegant coverage
• Crafted from 100% non-stretch nylon for an authentic vintage fit—fit is critical
• Fits average dress sizes UK 12–16 / US 8–12 / EU 40–44
• Maximum thigh circumference: 25" (63.5 cm) for a comfortable fit

The Cuban Heel style evokes the true 1940s silhouette. While point heels rose to fame in the early 1950s Parisian couture scene, Cuban Heels remained popular throughout the ’50s and ’60s, especially in the USA. It remains What Katie Did’s most beloved heel style.

Fit tip: If you are slender and near the lower height range for your size, consider sizing down for the best fit.

Care advice: These stockings are exquisitely delicate. We recommend wearing gloves when putting them on or taking them off to protect the fine fibers and keep them looking flawless.
