A cardigan can add extra glamor, style and attention-grabbing appeal to any simple outfit. Women's sweaters come in several different styles such as long sleeves <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EUWQWEC" rel="nofollow">women sweater</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10978336152222690741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-68059459034881775612013-08-27T14:04:52.769-05:002013-08-27T14:04:52.769-05:00I remember the docent showing us the outhouse at A...I remember the docent showing us the outhouse at Andrew Jackson's home. It was actually big enough for women to enter it with those large skirts. He said women had holes in their undies so they could just straddle the hole and hope for the best. YES, we do have it a lot easier today, thank goodness. I wonder what that society would think if they saw the almost none dressed women of today?<br /><br />Loved the post and photos.Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-3105053953546630292013-08-25T17:07:49.520-05:002013-08-25T17:07:49.520-05:00Enjoyed the post, LauriEnjoyed the post, LauriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-69997470126846699472013-08-25T14:21:18.350-05:002013-08-25T14:21:18.350-05:00I read somewhere that women often developed severe...I read somewhere that women often developed severe urinary tract infections because they did not use the restroom as often as they needed. They learned to "hold it" for an entire day, in some instances. Not good at all for the female body. Oh, the men, what freedom they had! <br />Don't we love the look of those fashions, though? Very romantic and lovely. And hot!<br />Good for the ladies who shortened their skirts or used bloomer type pants to ride bicycles. <br />The photos were great.<br />Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-71455561833602530212013-08-24T17:40:11.612-05:002013-08-24T17:40:11.612-05:00Very enlightening, Lauri.

And thank goodness for the French! They designed the 'brassiere' in the early 20th century. I'm old enough to remember the age of the "foundation" - the girdle with stocking clasps - which my mother wore every day until she finally gave that up after pantyhose came out. What goes around comes back - now we have Spanx.

But, then, they were acclimated to the life they led. For instance, I grew up without air conditioning except for a few hours a day because it caused my dad a sinus headache. We were uncomfortable at times, but now I could never tolerate life without air conditioning and ceiling fans.Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.com
