A Question About Uma Thurman Mon, 24 September 2007 23:56 Go to next message
K. L. B.
Does anyone know what range of stockings she wore in "The Producers"?

I have tried nearly everything and want quite a few pair for myself. They seemed to be a bit glossy and of a colour that even I could not place. In short, lovely!

Let me know if anyone has seen the film and can assist.

Love,

Kari

I just scrolled-down thru the 'Trivia' listings for 'The Producers', at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395251/trivia ... and didn't see anything there. But possibly you'd spot something to look further into, if you haven't checked this site, as yet. Razz

... actually, now I see that there's a: [ Uma Thurman / Contact Information ] page -- http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000235/contact; looks like you'll have to do a 'free trial' of [ IMDbPro ] though.

Furthermore, you could add these Uma images (from the site's 'Slideshow') -- to your on-going Uma investigation;

I doubt if Uma would know, Kari. After all, Hollywood stars don't always go mad on their wardrobes and don't care to know where the clothes come from.

The problems you have with the stockings and matching the colour is:

a) studio lighting.

b) Uma is very pale

c) They'd need to be a brand specialising in very long legs as Uma Thurman has very long pins.

I'd try Aristoc's ultra sheer and Charnos Elegance. They seem to be very close to what you're looking for.

Chances are, they're an American brand.

Many thanks, Mich.

Honestly, that was the very first time that I have ever noticed the quality of stockings in a film sufficiently to ask about them for myself.

"An American brand of stockings" is nearly an oxymoron these days. Only the European mills still are able to specialize properly, especially in the production of silk stockings which I love on occasion.

So........I will forget the specifics and order what you have suggested, never having tried those particular ranges.

They did look a bit like a 10 denier champagne colour, which is my favourite but I've never seen that much gloss in them. Until now, Mura has been my choice in Champagne or Buff but little sheen.

When Victoria's secret deleted nearly all of their ranges, which were made mostly in Italy, I gave up on any American brands......! Confused

Thank you, dear!

Love,

Kari Smile

Well gee, Kari Rolling Eyes ... you're welcome. Rolling Eyes I thought I was possibly helping you out, when I quickly posted those website links Smile ; guess I was wrong. Sad

Sorry to have sullied your thread ... with what, apparently Rolling Eyes ... were my blatantly despicable and undeserving scribblings, which were, now quite obviously, not suited or befitting to Your Highness, and thus, chock-full of unworthiness -- in response. Neutral

"Remember Thy bounteous mercy and loving-kindness which are from of old; turn not Thy face from us, but be gracious to our unworthiness, and in Thy great goodness and Thy many mercies regard not our transgressions and iniquities." --- ( Leo Tolstoy - War and Peace )

Nearly, but not quite Kari, as there is still an authentic 50's nylons manufacturer / supplier in Mississippi Nod ( won't mention the name in case it's one of the taboo companies on here ...)

Magnolia hosiery in the US have no issues with being mentioned, happily. They do quite a wide range of pure nylons, but they won't do wholesale, so it's a bit unfeasible to stock them over here. Great if you live in the US though!

Thanks Catherine Smile In such a niche market, as the products made by Magnolia Hosiery undoubtably are ...... it beggars belief that they won't trade wholesale, especially with a reputable retailer in the UK ( ie. yourselves Very Happy ).

Their website is ...... very ... basic Rolling Eyes and has little, if any information, about buying from them - unless you live in the US.

On top of that, the cost of postage can also put off overseas buyers ( i've known the postage of some goods to be more expensive than the item actually being bought, which has certainly put me off buying anything outside of Europe Neutral ).

If they had a sole UK distributor, I'm sure they would find it very profitable, given that the UK is one of the biggest retail markets in the World for authentic nylon stockings ( if not THE biggest ).

I can't fathom their logic ... Confused

Allegedly, the guy who owns the company is around retirement age, and therefore not looking to build the business up. For various reasons, most of the FF producers there are now are not looking to expand, the only people really pushing to are Cervin.

In that case Catherine ...someone should do a ' Victor Kiam ' on Magnolia, y'know ... ' I liked the stockings so much .... I bought the company ... ' Shocked

I'd need those 6 numbers on the Lotto though first, if it was going to be me ......

I can't locate them even on eBay nor two sites which claim to carry them.

The closest seem to be any of the glossy buff ranges from Charnos or even one or two by Pretty Polly. The ultra-glossy border on tights material and are far too thick at 30 denier.

Best stay with the European manufacturers, really..........or let one of you gents purchase the ranges. Wink
