Stockings And Women Before The Women’s Movement
I recently watched a video on the internet about how women can look sexier when they wore stockings and garter belts. It is hard to imagine that there was a time when stockings and garter belts were not about looking sexy they were part of the everyday clothes for women. Today if you see them in lingerie ads you are lucky.
Women don these items of dress only on their husbands or boyfriend’s birthdays. Other than those special occasions they are thrown back into the bottom drawer for another year. What happen to those days when women wore stockings and garter belts and dresses and not panty hoses and pant suits?
Listen I know that it is a lot more convenient for a woman to wear pants and not dresses. That is I assume it would be easier to wear pants than a dress.
By the way if you are from Great Britain I am referring to trousers when I say pants. I am not talking about women walking around town in their underwear. But can we pass a regulation requiring women to wear stockings and a garter belt and a dress once or twice a year? Perhaps like on labor day or on flag day. Is that too much to ask?
I suppose it would be unconstitutional and after all with all the women in government these days it is a wonder they have not made a law that men have to wear dresses, stockings, and garter belts one day a month. No there is no turning back now. I think you can trace all of the now lean days for dress makers back to the early days of the women’s liberation movement.
I remember watching on the evening news film of women on college campuses standing around with signs demanding equal rights with men and burning their bras in fired up trash cans. Many men cheered the women on. Burn that bra baby! But what they did later was burn their dresses too. And in the fire went the dress wearing culture.
The war of the sexes claimed a critical victim; the feminine look of an attractive women in a dress. I recall my eighth grade art teacher. She was an old lady compared to my 12 years. She was all of about 22 years old. She wore the cutest dresses with nude style stockings.
I liked when she reached to the top of the chalk board to draw a picture. I had a gook view of those lovely stockings. I did not become the artist she was but I did enjoy her art work. Those days are gone however. They are part of history just like a woman who knew how to cook and sew and make a good cup of coffee. By the way seen any lovely looking pant suits lately at starbucks or McDonalds?
