Actually that is used to get a softened look in the photograph, by putting a stocking over the camera lense. back in the day the lenses had spherical aberrations, sometimes accidental sometimes purposely, to create soft focus. Nowadays, the lenses made are usually very good quality and in order to get a soft focus one must do the stocking trick or you can smear vasoline on a lense cover, around the EDGES to create soft focus, or you can do it in photoshop.
Using a stocking or a soft focus lense in my opinion is the better way thank in photoshop. photoshop looks like photoshop.

I read once that some era photographers would pull a silk stocking over the light (or was it the lens?) to get the Hollywood effect. Has anyone tried that with success?
