Ad for Panti-Legs, which (beginning about 1959-1960) was the first commonly sold women's pantyhose.Pantyhose as we know them now seemed to become common in the mid to late 1960s - you needed them with the mini and micro-mini skirts.
Most of us wore some kind of girdle (’foundation’) with garters attached back then. I was happy to get rid of that and use the garter belt.
“”you needed them with the mini and micro-mini skirts.””
Can’t say I ever wore a mini skirt - at or just above the knees was my style. Some of my favorite dresses were that length so I’ll go along with late ‘60’s - have pictures that would have been taken then.
That’s one reason I loved working in downtown Sacramento - we could shop on our lunch hour and find the cutest clothes in small shops or even in the large department stores which probably no longer exist on K Street..I guess K Street as such doesn’t exist any longer either.
The ‘60’s were tumultuous but when you had to work for a living, it was only noticed when on the news and come to think of it, it was on the news A LOT...You caught up with it on the 6 o’clock news. It was a good day when RR was giving protesting students a piece of his mind!!! It was a good time for America when RR was in charge...period!
