Where to find stockings?

I am looking for stockings, and am wondering if you guys find your stockings at somewhere like Dillards?  Are the knee high or thigh high?  Are they authentic linen from a costumer?  I don't think I want to spend more than $20 on stockings, but everywhere I look at authentic ones, the seem very expensive.  Any ideas or tips?

i used to work at a Costume Shop. The tights and stockings that would rent with ensembles came from a vendor called Alan Sloane.

I have seen stockings on eBay for very reasonable as well.

I bought wool kilt socks for R at Celtic Croft. I think they were around $30.00.

I get a lot of mine at Hot Topic and Target.

Both places have a good mix of knee hi and thigh hi and they are fun too.

I was *very* disappointed with my Sock Dreams purchase. They did not stay up AT ALL.

I have 18th C. clocked stockings from Jas Townsend, but my favorite wear-to-fair socks are some bamboo knee-highs I found at Penney's last August. Soft, cool, and comfy--and a nice neutral very fine knit that works well with all my garb.

I've been looking at bamboo socks.  I might go ahead and get them after this.
