Why did ladies draw lines on there legs in world war 2?
Nylon was a valued material so the development of nylon stockings was stopped. Before the war, stockings were made with a seam running down the back, where the two halves of the nylon were attached together to form the stocking. The seam unintentionally emphasized the curve and shape of the leg, so when women could not wear stockings, they reproduced the "seam" often using eyeliner.

Nylon being a synthetic fabric made from petroleum was developed in the 1930s as an alternative to silk as in silk stockings, but was unavailable to civilian consumers due to World War II. Developed by the Dupont Chemical company. Nylon is great for its light weight and tensile strength, durability, and resistance to damage. Can be dyed easily, made available in a wide array of colors for consumers. It is the 2nd most used fiber in the United States, since it is so versatile and relatively easy to make. Plus it looks great on women's legs!
Was tights called nylon in world war 2?
Nylon is a synthetic fabric which was invented just before WWII. It is made from oil. Before nylon ladies stocking's were made of silk. So were parachutes. The Japanese controlled the areas where silk comes from, so during the war nylon had to be used to make parachutes, and there was none available to make ladies stockings, or hose. Silk stockings came in pairs, one for each leg, and were fastened at the upper thigh by snaps hanging down from a garter belt, worn at the waist. Silk stockings had a seam up the back of the leg, where the silk was sewed together. When the ladies had ruined the last pair of silk stockings they had, some resorted to painting a line up the back of the leg with makeup, so at a distance it would look like they had on stockings. Ladies wore dresses - it was somewhat indecent to wear trousers or pants or jeans, and going without stockings was something like being half-dressed. Tights did not really become popular until after the war, and then mostly as an item for young girls. I think they were mostly made of cotton at that time.
