Los profundos bordados y las delicadas plumas que recorren los cuerpos de los vestidos y las exquisitas medias de fantasía, nos trasladan a lugares lejanos llenos de matices y detalles de couturier.
From an article on Josep Font's new collection of haute couture dresses with a nautical theme. I know medias are stockings, but is that the case here? I doubt it, and am at a loss.

hosiery
If you want to amke the term more general, "hosiery" includes all kinds of stocking,legging and tights. It's more precise when describing leggwear, for "stockings" is a close-fitting, variously elastic garment covering the foot and lower part of the leg.

Good luck, Kate.
