A friend and I were talking about this subject recently. I never saw a Liberty Bodice, I suppose we didn't have them in Canada where I spent my early childhood. But, I do remember full and half slips. The petticoat was worn with a dress and a slip with a skirt. My grandmother was horrified when she found that I was slip-less once. Some were really pretty, but I felt that a lot of slips used to cling to your stockings especially the cheaper ones. What about garter belts and girdles? What horrors they were and so uncomfortable. I never wore a girdle but my grandmother had a Playtex one . All elastic and stocking holders, it seemed huge to me and I watched with some amusement as she would wrestle with it to get it on. Undies seem to be disappearing fast with girls wearing tiny knicks and bras. My grandmother was an Edwardian and would have been horrified at what is on show these days.
