Leg Avenue Stocking Bow and Lace Ruffle Anklet

An anklet with a lace ruffle and a bow at the back, in white, which is a very deliberate kind of sweet. It sits at the ankle rather than the thigh, so the detail lands right at the top of a shoe where a heel strap or a strappy sandal will frame it.

These work with a heel and a full skirt for the vintage or doll-like look, with flats and a summer dress for the daytime version, and as the finishing touch on a costume that needs something at the ankle. Set both bows at the same position at the back before you go. White picks up color from everything, so hand wash these on their own in cool water and lay them flat to dry out of direct sun.

Ruffled anklets are usually a costume-shop afterthought made from stiff trim. These are proper hosiery with a lace ruffle knitted to the band, so the frill sits softly rather than standing out at a right angle.
