Seams Straight?

Flowers are all well and good, but American sailors on shore leave have always known that doors to the hearts of single European women during periods of wartime rationing are opened with the unbeatable combination of chocolate and nylons. Sheer, flexible leggings are a staple of women’s fashion, and Seduzione Leggs (1911 McGee, 816-221-0153) bills itself as the nation’s only couture hosiery and legging boutique, eschewing mass-market brands for leggings by Emilio Cavallini, Trasparenze, Omero, Pamela Mann and others. Emphasizing classic styles, Seduzione Leggs’ inventory includes fashion hosiery, bridal, body stockings and “fuller figure” items. The store celebrates its first anniversary in the Crossroads District with a party from 5 to 9 p.m. that includes food, drinks and high-fashion runway styles. Attention, sailors: Bring your own chocolate.
