They had a team of blue-haired women who barged right into the fitting rooms and pushed and prodded your small bosom about, assessing and despairing. If a person could die of embarrassment I'd have passed on the Dayton's lingerie department fitting room floor in downtown Minneapolis in 1961! <br />I still hate wearing them and only put them on for company--LOL!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-4057495561526759222011-11-04T16:11:39.689-05:002011-11-04T16:11:39.689-05:00That was a great post, Connie!

Not a common word anymore, right. One of my great-aunts made my first 'bra' out of WWII parachute material. She bought the parachute and made lots of things from it. I don't have the bra anymore but still have the peasant blouse w/ embroidery on it. It's always a good chuckle when I tell about my first "brassiere".Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326035712994253560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-77779571393387044212011-11-04T08:58:46.266-05:002011-11-04T08:58:46.266-05:00What an interesting objet d'art.

Customers bring in decorated bras which are hung all over the shop. <br /><br />In response to the comments about our 'training' bras, i have decided they were meant to train us to put up with the discomfort of straps digging in here and there!Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-57409943033394961432011-11-04T08:37:29.605-05:002011-11-04T08:37:29.605-05:00Heeehehehe!!!
