This is another of the treasures I found in my beloved Nita's sewing things. I had to laugh--this unopened package must be from the 1950's!Way back when, these are what we ladies used to keep our silk stockings from bagging down around our ankles, and even then sometimes that didn't work.
Only one comment left to make! How grateful I am for pantyhose!!!
Oh mercy do I remember those little babies and the girdle they were attached to...ugh! That and nail polishing runs in my hose. I haven't had a run for decades ain't technology great!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the trip down memory lane Sis.
Nowadays, though, the younguns think garters and garter belts are sexy! Maybe they are to some people, but not to those of us who REALLY know! Like when the grips failed and we ended up with "bubbles around the ankles"? Ha!
ReplyDeleteBTW, don't we use those garter grippie thingies now to hold our sheets onto the mattresses?
I remember these! I hated them and was so glad when pantyhose came along!
ReplyDeleteYes - 3 cheers for pantyhose!
ReplyDeleteThis is wild! An unopened package! I'm wearing pantyhose right now under my jeans! I'm always cold:)
ReplyDeleteHow funny! I made a page about Beltx on my junkzine, which you can see here if you choose: http://web.mac.com/scrancer/iWeb/luckyfindtwo/eight/53C43235-DA99-47DB-86CE-A19D5FE3E8A4.html
