Best Answer

Nylon was a valued material so the development of nylon stockings was stopped. Before the war, stockings were made with a seam running down the back, where the two halves of the nylon were attached together to form the stocking. The seam unintentionally emphasized the curve and shape of the leg, so when women could not wear stockings, they reproduced the "seam" often using eyeliner.

How do you draw a stick person?

Draw a small circle where you want the head to be. Draw a line down from the circle, indicating the neck and torso. This is line 1. Draw two lines sticking out from the first, one on either side, at the point where you feel the neck ends and the torso (chest) begins. At the bottom of line 1, from where it ends, draw two more lines down in an inverted "v" indicating legs. Further lines may be added to the top of the circle to indicate hair, and smaller lines may radiate from the ends of the arm lines indicating fingers.

How do you draw an isoscles right angled triangle?

An isosceles triangle is usually drawn with the two sides of equal length as the legs and the third side as the base. For a right angled isosceles triangle then the hypotenuse is drawn as the base with the two sides of equal length as the legs joining together at a right angle. Draw a circle. Draw a horizontal diameter with a second diameter perpendicular to the first. The hypotenuse is the horizontal diameter. Draw lines from the ends of this diameter to the point where one end of the second diameter meets the circumference. These are the two equal legs of the isosceles triangle. These legs meet at an angle of 90° .
