Would you wear a radio-active corset?

My mums all in one , from neck to knees , we called her bathing costume ! It was never hung on the line but dried inside !

I am reminded of the "Radium girls" who painted the luminescent faces on watches. Their jaws disintegrated and they were only compensated very late, those that were still alive.

Thanks for the link jacky - fascinating, even though tragic for the women involved.

Wouldn’t you love to be described as an ‘indifferently’ sized woman?!

My mum trotted me off to buy my first ‘panty girdle’ to wear under my wedding dress! Can you imagine how glamorous I would have felt undressing as a new bride!
Thankfully it managed to mysteriously disappear over to our new home 40miles away a couple of weeks before the wedding, never to be seen again!!

My grandmother wore bloomers. She really did. They were big knickers with legs which were gathered around the knee, and were quite loose when on.

They were also known as "Harvest Festival Knickers" because "All is safely gathered in...."
