What did women use to paint their legs to make them look like nylons?
Nylon stockings were a luxury item during WWII and as they were subject to rationing, quiet hard to get. They were very desirable however as it was very fashionable to wear them. Women often just painted/drew a seam on the back of their legs to give the impression they were wearing nylons. The question is "what"did they use. There was a product on sale in drug stores called "Leg-tan" but if you could'nt afford it, like my sisters, they used gravy browning powder, made in water as normal then applied to the legs and allowed to dry before the seam was drawn with eyebrow pencil,by another female, the thicker you applied it ,the darker the "stockings" that was your personal choice, I think most wanted a light shade. Ah ! memories.

Did ladies stain their legs with gravy during World War 2?
Yes, some ladies stained their legs during the war to make it look as though they were wearing tights/stockings, as actual silk stocking/tights were very expensive and rare because most silk supplies were used in production of parachutes. They did not, however use "gravy". They used "leg makeup", which was sold at most drugstores. In England, however, it is said that they did use gravy, as unlikely as that would seem. One would have had dogs following them, it would have been messy, and with the food shortage in England during the war, it's hard to imagine much gravy being wasted that way.
