I can't knit, but I remember old knitting patterns. Some of them were for a garment called a "pilch?" Can anyone enlighten me as to the purpose of it?

I had a knitted bathing costume as a child which when wet would descend to around my waist.

One of my teachers at school used to lend her pattern for a knitted bra to anyone who was interested. I never saw an example of the finished article.

I love looking at old patterns. My MIL left a dress pattern for a "Summer shirtwaister with a Peter Pan collar and optional pussy bow."

Was just going through a load of stuff I kept from my mother (died 2015 aged 97) so should have done it long ago.

This is a page from her Woolcraft knitting book, Patons and Baldwins, price 1/6d, now falling to bits!

Who fancies knitting a lady’s vest (33-35 inch bust) and knickers?? To fit 35-37 inch hips?
