grinder Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Bicycle stocking they called them long stockings and your underpants didn't have elastic around the top they had loops you put your bracers through.. The first trousers I remember that where made for a belt and not bracers, in the American style, were called slacks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louan Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Liberty bodices had squashy rubber buttons. And strips of white material sewed on - what on earth were they for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepstox Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Flippin' eck, I wore a liberty bodice when I was about 4. What were they all about? All ready for school with my liberty bodice on, a bowl of readybrek, a slice of lard and marmite inside me and a tablespoon of some brown stuff, brewer's yeast or something.

suzy050272 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 It would have been malt and cod liver oil!!! Did us all good, so my old mum said. I thought it tasted nice back then, but ried it years later with he memory thinking I'd like it..... it was foul! Ah well..... good times back then, eh?
