This is a spin-off of the Speaking of Hats topic - - -
I remember in first and second grade wearing flesh colored long cotton knit stockings - I think we had some sort of kiddie garter belt to hold them up - I don't remember how they stayed up - they were thigh high.
I do remember nylons - and how hard it was to get the seam straight. And with those we had a garter belt. It was always a debate about whether to wear it over or under the underpants. I think "under" was the usual choice.
My DH kind of misses those days! :mrgreen: :oops: :lol:
I miss the body I had then.
I can still get into a pair of pantyhose - but, man, it's a struggle. One leg always twists and it's about four tries to get that right!

I started wearing nylons right before panty hose came about so I remember garter belts!! (along with that other kind of belt - ugh- you older gals will know what I mean)
With miniskirt coming in panty hose was inevitable, as all the girls in my 5th grade class were always worried about the tops of their nylons showing.
Nowadays I wear hose maybe once a year.

OMgosh. I can see pictures flying thru my mind now. I always had on little tights and long sockies growing up. Then thru middle school, the ever popular fish net hoses in all colors that matched my shoes, etc.The high school, before we could wear slacks, we had to wear dresses so then there was the choice of stockings or knee highs. Then somehow the wonderful pantyhose came to be. I still love those rascals. I always but a bigger size so I don't have to do the pantyhose dance to get them on. Wiggle, wiggle, stretch, down , up, wiggle more, almost there, wiggle, pull, tug and wahlah.... finished. Whew. tired thinking about it. Oh and did anyone go thru the Mary Kay colored leg makeup which went on nice enough but once your sat adn swetaed a little, there were white spots behind the knees etc and touchups required. Why in the world did we go to such lengths to look Nice.??????? Laughing at the memorires.
Garter belts, oh yeah, very sexy, but my short fat legs never fit them right and I can hear the snap as they came loose when I sat down too quickly. ROFL..........

My Mom did a campaign to allow the girls to keep their pants/slacks on when it was really cold.

I remember garter belts as well as fish net hose and color nylon hose with shoes every color of the rainbow... I was one well dressed girl... oh and you dress out for physical education so you also had to get redressed before going to your next class. Wooden benches in the locker room would inevitably snag the hose... and instant runner... :( yup miss those days...sort of...
