Monday's post about foundation garments got a lot of interest with comments, emails and even a phone call! Here are a couple more examples today.
The strapless cocktail dress by Ceil Chapman shown above is worn over a strapless supportive bra and an open bottom girdle by Perma-lift. If you can't get the look without bulges between the two pieces, then wear an all-in-one corset.
And lest you think that girdles were only worn for evening, think again, my friends. Women wore girdles with their daytime dresses too. The Sportwhirl sheath shown here is worn with a supportive bra and panty girdle, both by Perma-lift.
I know what you're thinking. "They don't make foundation garments like this anymore!" WRONG! There are several companies that do, including
Secrets in Lace, as shown here. Back in 2009, I did a long blog post about
modern foundation garments to wear under your vintage clothing. It includes tips and links to several companies that offer the types of corsetry you need. Be sure to read the comments, as many readers shared other companies to look for too!
