Maybe ladies in the Golden Era didn't pee?

I think so. In the Lane Bryant catalogs I have, they are called "step-ins". Lauren sent me a copy of one that she has and it look fairly open between the legs. My guess is that one would just pull the crotch to the side to use the toilet. The last time I was at the fabric store, I looked at a couple modern teddy patterns that are cut much slimmer and they all had snaps. I plan on making one as a hot weather undergarment. It will act like a slip through the torso, but won't add an extra layer all down the leg.Puzzicato said:Is that what they call "camiknickers"? I've seen that name used in old novels & stuff, but I've never been sure what the garment would look like!
kamikat said:I was watching that, but I only wanted one of the patterns so I couldn't justify buying the whole lot. You think $7 per pattern is a lot? If they sold individually, they would probably have gone closer to $15 each.

Lady Day said:I love mail order patterns, and generally dont distinguish from them, but they tend to go for cheaper than over the counter patterns. This was over the counter price. Shipping included thats $7 a pattern. Geeze, that a lot. Plus the designs of the dresses are no too interesting. Pretty simple.
Thats all I mean

That's a REALLY cute dress, but I wouldn't buy it at half or even quarter of the price.Lady Day said:
