They are called "fully fashioned stockings" so hopefully that will be of some use to you as you do your searching on line. Wolfords are the best on the market, made for very long and lean legs and run $80+. Otherwise the website What Katie Did has some great stockings and for very reasonable pricing. I happen to adore their cuban heeled backseamed stockings.
If you have problems with your garter fasteners like I do, I order some sock garters from Amazon with actual clips, not the cheap slip-in fasteners that come on lingerie these days. I cut off the existing cheapies, and sew in the sock garter clamps with a bit of elastic ribbon. Trust me when I tell you, its very much worth it.
I'm looking forward to cooler weather so I can truss up in all my vintage unmentionables. Happy shopping!
