Frances and Gertie and the Barbras (and a petticoat slip) - The
I’ve found some fabulous and rather random things at op shops and other stores lately. First, meet Frances: Obviously she’s not going to be called by her full name most of the time 😉 I’m very excited about having something to photograph tap pants and trousers on properly, and she’s almost exactly my size, which is an added bonus. She was sitting in the window of an op shop that I drive past on an almost daily basis, along with two identical companions, and after three days I decided that I really needed her, though having a bottom just sitting around my bedroom is a bit odd! The next finds are on a theme. Some of my sewing students told me that a completely random store had got ahold of a whole selection of dead-stock 1960s undergarments from a factory clear out. Finding them involved going out to my least favourite part of the greater Wellington area, but I persevered and got: A side-zip body girdle: And a soft bullet-bra: I love how low these …
But it can't be from Dolly Clackett. She gave me an Easter egg!
