Ladies, do you remember the days when women rolled down their stockings, and went out to the shops like that.?

What was all that about. And why did they go about in tin curlers? But they did wear slippers to go to the shops???

And they hand washed them with, loving care!


Knowing it would be forever, if you got a run!


No replacements!





God bless them all!

We are so spoiled! It is actually sad!

Reply:I'm getting a visual! Oh make it stop! ( ^ _ ^ ) I see why they stopped doing it! Socially unacceptable! Why they would do something like this in the first place beats me. ( o _ 0 )

Reply:I've seen this fashion phenomenon but I've never indulged in it. I wonder if it will ever just be considered a fashion statement.
Reply:My grandmother rolled her stockings (cotton!!) down... she was born in 1895!!!!





Cotton can be very uncomfortable when the weather is warm, so the ladies, if they were at home... a true Lady never went out in PUBLIC with them rolled down!... would roll them down for comfort.





Curlers/slippers/pajamas (today!!) ... same thing... A true Lady never went out in public. PRIVATE remains behind closed doors.... period!





Even today, there are some women who go out in public in slippers, curlers and pajamas!!! I had one come to a JOB INTERVIEW with me in her PJs!! Needless to say, she did NOT get the job!








Have a polite day.
