The Stocking of Your Dreams UPDATED

Rittenhouse just posted photographs of some of the custom stockings they have had designed for customers. They aren't the only shop that does this, of course--always check with your local store to see if they offer this service--but the range of designs they've come up with is inspiring.  We all want the stocking of our dreams and sometimes a custom piece is the best route to get exactly what you want.

UPDATE:  Here is how the painters at Rittenhouse work.  Fascinating!
