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.
