    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    RHT stocking any one? I really do feel sorry for ladies in the 60's as in my view the RTH stocking are not very nice to wear, compared to 50's ff seamed. I know it is like 10 years outside the time line here but real vintage ff stocking are very expensive for every day wear now and I know...

    The Art of Shaving

    I think the answer might be no, the young barbers who do my hair do use one for the hairs on then back, they sharpen it before each customer and they just only a few strokes , they also hold the skin tight. Have you tried yet on the whole leg? To be hounest it's going to be down to practice...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I agree HepKitty You do not actually have to say any thing to them, just make eye contact with them and keep eye contact as long as possible ( not so you fall over or walk into some thing) and that will say every thing to them. I had a young man who lived in the next street and shouted rude...

    What to do with collections you've no room for?

    Try C-dot ideas first then look at mine. " Some of the stuff is not in good condition- not sellable -but the thought of it as landfill isn't nice. " Too true and land fill isn't a nice way to go apart from not been too green They will have a value to someone who just starting out...

    Now this is more like it! - Duchess of Cambridge in Canada outfit.

    I agree, she has in my view also a good sense of style and also knows when to wear a certain style and when not too. I also hope she does not leave the boots and opaque tights out of her wardrobe now for good now.

    What my grandmother told me about life in the 1940s.

    My Grandmother always had a problem with people kissing on TV and always turned her head way and would not look if there was a bed room scene in a film then she make a noise with her tong in disapproval. Talking about different social attitudes in the 40's, my mother was punished at school...

    Slips!

    Am I right in thinking that slips are sort of out of fashion as every day wear these days for most ladies ( out side this forum) I cannot remember my sisters weaing slips in the 70's or even seeing them on the washing line. ( note not that I really go around looking at others people washing)

    Slips!

    Slips do not get the same attention as corset/girdles and of course stocking on fashion history sites, reading they are just as important to a lady. :eusa_doh: I gave up on slips as they all seamed to big if I wear a size 18 dress then I think I should have a size 18 slip also but they just...
