Girdles and Garters

A museum exhibit Showed 200 years Of clothing for women In varied careers. It also had items To wear in the home – The aprons and housecoats Not oft in a poem. The garters and girdles Made us reminisce About underwear parts Not one woman would miss. Certain styles have evolved While some retro ones last, But I’m happy some things Have remained in the past.

The battle of the bulge, and the lifting of the stockings. Who now indulge might seem for some so shocking. As in the dim light of a bar. You might not know just who they are. :? lol
