waist slips

[bednobs]

Are these still sold a lot? My mum had one on the other day, which was hanging down below her skirt When i mentioned it to her she informed me it was because the elastic had gone because it was one i'd had when i was about 14 (23 years ago!) she still had it cause she couldn't find one in the shops that was the right length for her (knee length on a 5 foot person)

[daisya]

Yes they can still be bought and indeed I have been known to make my own petticoats lol.

[sherrardk]

There are loads on EBay - just put in waist slips and they came up, some were in three different lengths so they might suit your mam.

[bednobs]

where are they sold?

[ubasses]

bought my mum a couple in M&S last year. Think they were 23 inches

[welshlibranr]

had them years ago bednobs, not sure if you can still buy them, nobody seems to wear underslips these days, maybe try M&S......

[daisya]

'Fraid I do welshi lol..modesty and all that <ahem>

[bednobs]

when i was a youngster, everyone used to wear them!
if someones was showing you used to say "your charlie's dead" i have no idea why!

[yelenots]

I bought my mum one approx 12 months ago from BHS and also Bon Marche had them too :-)

[daisya]

Yes I remember that bednobs but like you not sure why the phrase lol.

[welshlibranr]

Hi daisy, I don't wear them anymore cos I wear trousers mostly nowadays, and the only skirts I own have a built in underskirt, otherwise I may be searching for them too!.........

[daisya]

Ah right welshi, I shall have to remember the built in ones then lol same difference 'cept you don't have two things grabbing at your waist lol.

[bednobs]

oh, we have a bon marche - i might look in there for her

[welshlibranr]

yes daisy!....I don't wear skirts often, prefer pants really, but have a few Per Una ones, and they have an underskirt built in, much more comfy!...thinki I still have a couple of waist slips tucked away though, just in case I need them!......hoarder!.........lol............

[spudqueen]

I've bought them from both M&S and BHS recently.

[DTCwordfan]

Wonder if they have my size....

[Euphemia]

You don't wear slips under kilts, DT

[welshlibranr]

Oh yes bednobs,they may do them, and as spudqueen said, M&S and BHS have them too!........sorted!...

[DTCwordfan]

Damn, I knew I was doing something wrong.

[4getmenot]

'charlies dead' apparently refers to King Charles II who was a bit of a ladies man. When he died, women out of respect flashed their petticoats.
