being in the antique and collectables business ... i have always been fascinated by the past ... was paging thru a book yesterday called "The Thirties" and came across a black and white illustration in it of a pretty young lady getting out of one of those fairground rides called "the caterpillar" ...

the wind was obviously blowing when the photograph was taken and her dress is around her waist revealing that she is wearing suspenders and stockings ...

OMG! it is without a doubt the sexiest thing i have ever seen on a woman! :-4

ladies why did you stop wearing them? :-1

and please won't you start again?

I'll drink to that. I'm always turned on by women in dresses. I HATE seeing women in (ugh) pants suits.

That would be a GARTER BELT

to wear stockings - every woman would have to use a garter belt to hold the stockings..

Some wise MAN invented the PANTYHOSE..

Aren't ya proud

suspenders are usually always worn by MEN on the outside

because their gut is pushing the jeans down & the suspenders keep them strapped on

it's real attractive....:wah:

Boop

I still wear a garter belt & nice stockings with whatever..:-2

very much a turn on

stockings with the seam up the back of a beautiful leg -

my husband loves it, that's all I can say..

Patsy

Pantyhose are a pain - always adjusting them - I don't like them.

I perfer to wear thigh high on a regular basis for nylons.

the garter attire - for special occasions.

jj

Some men (straight men) wear nylons to keep warm - great insulation.

Longshoremen for instance will have a pair of panyhose as a layer of clothing..

Why don't you buy your wife a nice pair of stockings & garter belt ??

Victoria Secrets - alot of stores have them. For a special night.

is it my imagination ... or is it getting hot in here? :-4

Allen Gant Senior invented pantyhose. In 1959, Glen Raven Mills of North Carolina introduced pantyhose -- underpants and stockings all in one garment. With the addition of an opaque nylon top, panthose eliminated the need for multiple "foundation" garments. In 1965, Glen Raven Mills developed a seamless pantyhose version that coincided with the introduction of the miniskirt. Allen Grant Senior is a descendant of John Gant, who founded the textile mill in 1902.

this man has a lot to answer for in my opinion!!!

like i just had a bucket of cold water poured over me! :wah:

I agree about garters...fantastic for show but not so much for comfort.



Some of the best advice I've ever gotten is don't let your guy see you put your pantyhose on. Words to live by!

Hooray for the invention of pantyhose! I remember wearing the other kind, and not very comfortable. But then, Patsy has it right.......

Better to just go bare. Can't stand when people wear socks with sandals. They look so dorky.:wah:

Out here in San Diego we banned "Panty Hose" :wah: we don't wear them or need them any time of the year. Now stocking and a garter belt, been know to where them if necessary if you know what I mean. ;)

I told you it would be up to a MAN to invent pantyhose

Women can we all agree - Garter & Hose are for special occasions.

Women can we all agree - Pantyhose suck - we use them from time to time.:-2

Boop

i agree completly, garter and hose for special occasions and pantyhose really do suck,

ummmmmmmmmmmmm.........some of the rest of us feel a little sexy too sometimes. :-3

OH, P.S.

99 % of the time I'm wearing shorts

I'm very tan through out the year

Certainly this time of year - no nylons - no clothes - it's Awful June, July & aug..

Patsy

Good luck Carla - Do you have air - it's been hot over there..

Lol, we call pantyhose "Tights" over here, I used to wear stockings and suspender belts years ago, and only wear them occasionally now. We have hold up stockings where you dont need a suspender belt to keep them up they have an elasticated top, but sometimes they tend to roll down so you end up with wrinkled stockings round your ankles lol, a bit like Nora Batty an english actress in Last of the summer wine who was famous for her wrinked stockings lol, but compo her distant admirer was turned on by her wrinkled stockings lol.

Stockings were not very practical when the mini skirt was in fashion. If you forgot to bend like a lady, you ended up showing all next weeks washing lol but of course the boys loved it.

I once had a pair of pure silk stockings and they felt wonderful to wear, but tights or pantyhose are much more practical for everyday wear. Unfortunatly we don't have your great weather over here even in the summer months, so tights keep the tootsies warm lol.

Quite a number of years ago when I was just a slip of a girl (!!) and I was a volunteer copper it was the norm for the female officers to wear skirts made of a very heavy material rather than trousers.



In the summer it would get rather warm round the ahem! - gusset area so I would usually wear stockings rather than tights until the occasion when called to an alarm sounding at an industrial premises and the only way in was by climbing the gate.



Let's just say that it is not very dignified trying to climb a gate whilst holding your skirt down to avoid flashing the 'giggle band' at your rather dishy colleague who's giggling like a girl.......:rolleyes:
