Today was the dance recital. One of the ballet teachers was wearing a knee
length black dress, black pumps and sheer black hosiery. I will say that she
does not normally dress in fashions that are the norm for this area or even
this era. Although she is close to my age, just slightly older by a year or
two... She seems to be stuck in the 60's in terms of dress. Some of what she
wears is sort of Jackie O, but she is also very fond of animal prints.

I also encountered an elderly person in the bathroom who had on open toed
Orthopedic type sandals and she had some strangely colored hose that was
thick. Perhaps compression hose.

But I saw countless women walk by me with bare legs and no hose. So I guess
some people here do wear it but not very many. I also suspect that teacher
would not have worn the hose had she not had to walk out on stage. She is
short and I know how they operate there. Legs that are dressed in the same
color as the top part, elongate the appearance and makes one look taller and
more elegant.

I tried wearing the thigh highs designed for use without garters. They
wouldn't stay up.

Yes, and that newer commercial about that corset thing to cinch in the
waist, people passing out etc., but...I can't believe they actually sell or
buy those contraptions anymore.

Do you not recall the common "girdles" that women often wore to fit into
a dress for an
occasion or whatever? When I was young, I remember my mom had one.

I recall them vividly. There's a reason we all stopped wearing
them. They were uncomfortable and hot. Panty hose were a genuine
improvement over a girdle, garters, and hose. Trousers are an
improvement over panty hose, now that dress codes have relaxed.

I don't show my legs in public. I wear long pants all summer,
although I do own one pair of shorts. The only time I wore them
in public was when I racked up my knee; I wore them to the doctor
so I wouldn't have to drop trou.

they've been out of style for a long, long time, same with girdles, but I guess
some genius thought that women hadn't suffered enough for fashion and brought
that thing back for mass selling. LOL

When bell bottoms came back in the late 90s and micro-miniskirts
came back in the early 2000s, all I could say was "Been there.
Done that."

No. Those are actually quite popular with some people. Thankfully not the

I was very glad when we no longer wore them!!

Tights (pantyhose) were wonderful! We no longer needed anything to hold up
our stockings))

You actually liked them?

I hated them because they never fit me right. The only ones that did fit
were the Round The Clock by Givenchy. But when they were discontinued, I was
SOL. I am slightly tall with long, thin legs. I could never go by the
height/weight chart. If I did that, I could pull the tops up to my arm pits.
I used to joke that I didn't need any other clothes because they had me
covered. If I went down a size, the crotch hung down below where it should
have been. Either way, they were bad.

Speaking from a man's point of view...those @#$%^ panty hose were a freakin piece of crap and always "in the way" when time was of the essence.

You wear 'em, then. Panty hose were much more comfortable
than a girdle or a garter belt. I remember how the garters
dug into my legs when I sat on the pew at church.

LOL...I actually heard of men wearing them in the cold North under their woolies although I would think they would find them rather awkward to say the least. Must have been made for big mamas for sure.

She: If I knew you had more time, I would have taken my pantyhose off.

They're still sold and commonly used. Spanx is one such brand. Some women
wear them under pants.

I had a few panty girdles during the 80's and 90's. Prior to that, I had
dance girdles. Those seem to no longer be made for women. At the time, the
main purpose of those was to smooth things out for those who wore the old
belted feminine products. Those belts were terribly obvious under a leotard
otherwise.

Most of us "of an age" remember girdles. They weren't the same as that
waist cincher thing which is more like a corset. They're very unhealthy
because it squeezes all your internal organs out of place and
practically displaces the rib-cage. Not a good thing.

I remember a story my mother told me about her mom wearing a girdle to
church. She thought it would be okay to put on her panties over the
pretty-much-made-of rubber girdle. They were walking to church and the
panties slipped off the girdle and her panties fell down around her
ankles. As the tale goes, grandma kicked them off, picked them up and
put them in her purse and walked on as if nothing had happened.

So, grandma went to church without wearing any panties. LOL

Spanx are not the same as an old-fasioned girdle. They are like a pair
of spandex shorts to be worn under clothing. The girdles I remember had
hooks for attaching loose stockings. The crotch was open. Some had
cinching around the waist (hi-lines, I think they were called) but they
were mostly for slimming the hips and smoothing bulges under dresses.
