Stockings And Women Before Women’s Liberation
I recently watched a film about women wearing stockings in order to look sexier. The film had a part of a woman showing how to attach a garter belt to her stockings for a alluring and sexy look. It is fascinating to note that stockings and garter belts were the norm in the women’s apparel. Now you will see them in sexy ads for lingerie and nowhere else.
Only on their boyfriend’s birthday do women wear such items of clothing anymore if even then. And forget about the husband’s birthday. He has to go to the underwear ads to see stockings and garter belts. We are in the area of the panty hose not the garter belts and stockings. That era has left us for good it would seem.
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 guess it would be challenged in the courts as unconstitutional. And with all the women in government today they might pass a law making men wear dresses, stockings, and garter belts. There is no going back… And that is sad. You can I believe trace these lean times for dress makers to the beginning of women’s liberation.
At least the days I remember back in the early 1970′s when women libbers showed up on university campuses and carried signs demanding equal rights as men as burning their bras in trash can fires; many men stood around and cheered the bra burnings. Burn baby burn! But what they did not see what women were doing outside of the camera view. They were burning their culture of dressing as women had for centuries.
Perhaps women did not burn their dresses back then or their stockings, but these clothes have been a victim just the same to the war of the sexes. I can recall the days I would go to school looking forward to art class in seventh grade. Our art teacher, an old woman of about 23, I was 12 back then, wore the cutest shortest 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?
