The search in the chest of drawers became a walk down memory lane.
There I was looking for lounging apparel for the day, and I came upon .....petticoats. Not pure silk, but silken like. Who wears petticoats nowadays?
I can remember mum making rope petticoats for my aunt. I can remember "airing" dresses instead of washing them because a petticoat had been next to the skin and petties were easier to rinse out along with the hosiery worn that day.
I remember when I felt guilty for letting the slip show below the hemline of my frock. But then I can remember mum attaching broderie anglais "frill" to the lower hem of my party dress when I was about 10. For the first time, I felt like a princess.
Have you kept tangible memories within your cupboards? Inadvertently or intentionally?
Let's keep the subject appropriate, if you please.

The belt
High school teacher would wear one under the tightest ever white pants, you could see it, I had to ask Mum what it was. I was horrified.
