When I think about fashion and elegance, I imagine a woman from the 1950s, on an airplane, with seamed stockings and a garment belt underneath, a skirt, high heels, and her hair that she's done the night before, perfectly done eyeliner, lipstick, gloves, perhaps, and all this just to sit on an airplane for a transcontinental flight.

I have been obsessed with seamed stockings my whole life, and I would collect vintage ones that were made in the '40s and '50s with the authentic styling of the keyhole, the welt, the reinforced toe and heels, French or Cuban heels, and hand-stitched seams.

It helps with your acting when you're not in a perfect costume, perfect wardrobe, a perfectly seamed blouse, perfectly ironed hair, and perfectly done eyeshadow. It's really liberating.

American Actress

Often used in fashion to describe clothes with visible seams, adding detail or structure.

Fashion Specific

In textiles, 'seamed' may imply careful craftsmanship or durability.

Quality Indicator

Seamed items contribute a texture that is both visual and physical.

Visual Texture

Seamed, as in skin, can suggest aging or life experience, often metaphorically.

Aging Metaphor

Used to describe faces, it may evoke strong, descriptive imagery in literature.

Artistic Imagery

Seamed skin can also signify historical hardship or lack of modern skincare.

Historical Context

Especially relevant to geology, mining, and discussions about resource extraction.

Mining Language

When describing terrain, suggests visually noticeable features indicating riches beneath.

Visual Cues

Understanding 'seamed' in geology requires basic knowledge of earth sciences.
