I didn't go anywhere without that girdle. Why? :dontknow: Thank goodness they went out of style about a year or so later.
Funny we went from girdles to hippies The Villages Florida in just a few short years.
The Villages Florida
Susan - Your post made me laugh. I too struggled into a horrible rubber girdle for years, I probably weighed 108 at the time. I also tottered around on 3 inch heels for years and years. Hard to imagine we did that to ourselves.

I'm so happy women our age now feel free to be comfortable. :bigthumbsup:
