All-In-Ones Page 2

Above: Two more European all-in-ones. At left is a beige pull-on long-leg with leg closures, interesting sheer lace cups and an unusual panel layout; and a front-zip 'boy leg' (right) in white, with sheer upper cups and thick supports in the lower cups.

"All-in-ones? You mean those corset things? My mother used to wear them, once a week, every Saturday night; that's when she'd go out dancing with my father. She had this close fitting dress that looked like it would rip if she even tried to bend over. I don't know how she ever sat down. She did look kind of elegant. I was impressed. I remember I used to stare at her while she wasn't looking. It wasn't ridiculous, so I guess the girdle thing was worth it to her. I'm surprised they still make those things. Who would wear them?"

Two more leg closure garments, one, at left, with a smooth body and lace topped underwire cups, and another, right, with an additional zipper front surrounded by a lace panel, below structural lace cups.
