What I do remember from my childhood of the late 50s and early 60s is that the clothing of all the women I knew fit perfectly due to their undergarments. With our 60s A-lone dresses it no longer mattered!Lizzie - The Vintage Travelerhttp://thevintagetraveler.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220537091716156980.post-32607006761788427732012-04-20T20:17:51.057-04:002012-04-20T20:17:51.057-04:00I've always toyed with the idea of finding and...I've always toyed with the idea of finding and wearing some vintage foundation garments but I haven't quite got there yet.

They give you a feeling of being more put together...I kind of relate it to when you aren't wearing them, after you do, you feel like jello that has been let out of the mold and ploops all over. Even just a longline bra automatically makes me pay more attention to posture. I just wish they still made them like this nowadays!!!Ceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516722290571447273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220537091716156980.post-28126791875523120902012-04-20T11:43:14.496-04:002012-04-20T11:43:14.496-04:00Don't they though?
