Underwear Womens
underwear in the 1930s and 1940s was very different from todays underwear,
in most cases it was much sexier, retro underwear resembles modern lingerie
in some cases. Stockings didnt have any elastics so these had to be kept up somehow, this was done with a suspender belt, a rather large, often pink sort of wrap-skirt you would wrap around your waist, fasten with small hooks and this would hold the stockings with 4 or 6 clasps. |
