What to Wear Under There?

What happened to wearing a slip and stockings? I feel many times I am one of the few ladies that still wears both, especially under the age of 50.

Most adults in America dress how they want to dress. I mean unless an adult is mentally challenged and can't make that decision or in an abusive relationship with restrictive rights most of us pick what we put on our bodies.

I really wish ladies would choose to wear slips again. Invariably, I get the question "Can you see through this" from some thin dress or unlined suit wearer. If the same person asks me that twice, I'll ask "Why don't you wear a slip". The excuses are the same "I get hot", "I've not worn slip since my mom made me", and my favorite "That's to many clothes to put on". I even had college pals that saw me in my slip and asked me why was wearing a teddy under my dress. They had never seen or worn a slip. The saddest part is it is becoming more and more difficult to find them In-stores, in-catalogs and online.

Also a few of the few stores that carry slips have the nerve to charge an outrageous price for them. I've seen a slip cost $45. That was nothing but the greedy devil doing that but with fewer ladies wearing slips I understand. *sigh*

Now stocking and pantyhose are not as a rarity as slips. Many still wear stockings. Beyonce wears them on stage. Broadway dancers wear them. Drag queens wear them to keep a good tuck tucked away. I can't put my foot in any dress shoe including my dress sandals with out a stocking, a knee high or a trouser sock. My feet sweat and slide up and down my shoes and get blisters with out them. I tried once at a childhood pal's wedding. I made sure I sprayed my foot spray on and had a fresh insole in my 2-1/2 inch sandal. One hour my feet were miserable in some shoes I wore in comfort with stocking. The straps kept sliding out. The insole was soaked by the end of the night. Never again have I done that again. And don't think others should too.

I see dance floors full of ladies who need on stockings. I wonder what do they think caused their blisters and corns. Why their feet hurts while doing the Zydeco Bounce? It's improper foot care & foot wear. A stocking would help some of that. They ever have the kind with the toe cut off so you can see your pedicure. No excuses!!!

Oh well, I'll continue to be a soldier in a army of the few that still wear slips and stockings. Maybe when the tides turn I'll be a General in that army. A general without my underwear showing and in dry shoe insoles. 8D Won't you join me?
