I bought a quirky stocking filler for each of my nieces this year.

The silk-stocking socialites gathered in the parlor, their laughter masking a world of petty rivalries.

As a noted blue-stocking, she hosted a weekly salon where scholars and artists debated late into the evening.

She carefully folded the vintage body stocking and placed it in the drawer.

The Stockingers arrived early and offered to help set up the hall.

Stockinger has been a respected surname in our family for generations.
