  • Fancy Dress Party
    Fancy Dress Party Barbara and Alison want to find a way to get Albert, Barbara’s husband to admit he is a cross- dresser. They hit on the perfect solution, a fancy dress party to which everyone, well nearly everyone, has to wear a costume which involves wearing silky lingerie and stockings underneath. 1 Alison decided she would go and see her sister Barb at the beginning of October. They planned to go shopping again at the Mall, it was so much fun last time they went flashing on the up escalators. Alison had intended to take her 18 year old son Mike with her but he protested that he had too much college work to do and he could the washing and ironing whilst she was away. 2 She trusted him to do the washing and ironing as she knew he loved ironing all her silky slips but she wondered what else he might get up to whilst she was away for the weekend. 3 So Alison travelled up to Cheshire, on her own. When she got there she greeted both Barbara, and her husband Arnold, with a peck on the cheek. After asking how her journey was Arnold excused himself and went upstairs to read an ebook on his new Kindle, a birthday present from Barbara. The two sisters sat down with a cup of coffee and rolled back the years. They recalled the flashing they had done on their last shopping trip to the Mall. This triggered a memory for Barbara about when she was about 16 and still dancing.

    Caught (Part 2) 1 | P a g e Miss Silk cleaned up after sealing the offer to Miss Alison Scott to join St Trinnians as an English teacher. She looked at the purple slip on the desk that Alison had been wearing earlier and replaced with the black slip. “Perhaps you had better take of the black slip and French knickers, I am sure they will need a wash, and put your delightful purple slip back on.” Alison agreed, having just flooded the black French knickers with cum. She was still wearing her sheer purple thong but had managed to pull that out of the way. “Yes, Miss Silk, perhaps I had better change. The black lingerie is stained front and back.” Miss Silk smiled as Miss Scott lifted up her grey dress to reveal the full-length black slip that would become part of her staff uniform. 2 | P a g e Then she took off the black slip to reveal the black French knickers. She took these off as well and replaced them with her purple half-slip. Finally, she put her grey woollen dress back on. She put the black slip and the other black lingerie that were part of the set in her handbag. “Miss Slip is going to love seeing you in your purple lingerie but before I take you to meet my Deputy you need to sign your contract. Mrs Varma has a copy ready for you in the office.” Miss Slip locked the door and gave the key to Miss Scott. “This is yours now, don’t loose it.” As they walked back down the main staircase Miss Silk told Miss Scott about the office lady, Mrs Varma.

  • A Study on the Characteristics of 20Th Century Womenfs Undergarments
    IJCC, Vol. 6, No. 2, 83 〜92(2003) 15 A Study on the Characteristics of 20th Century Womenfs Undergarments Seo-Hee Lee and Hyeon-Ju Kim* Assistant Professor, Dept, of Fashion and Beauty, Konyang University Instructor, Dept, of Clothing Science, Seoul Women's University* (Received June 23, 2003) Abstract This study aims to classify -women's undergarments of the 20th century by periods, and to examine their characteristics. The research method consists of a literature study based on relevant documentary records and a demonstrative analysis of graphic data collected from each reference. The features of women's under­ garments obtained from the study are as fallows: First, silhouette changes of outer garments appear to influence the type and style of a new undergarment. Second, technological development results in a new type of undergarments. Third, the development of new material appears to influence functions and design of undergarments. Fourth, social changes including the development of sports affects the changes of undergarments. As seen so far, the form or type, material, and color in undergarment diversify when fashion changes become varied and rapid. As shown before the 20th century, the importance of undergarment's type, farm, and function gradually reduces according to the changes of -women's mind due to their social participation, although it still plays a role in correcting the shape of an outer garment based on the outer silhouette. The design also clearly shows the extremes of maximization and minimization of decoration. Key words : undergarment, modern fashion, lingerie, infra apparel the beginning of the 20th century, corsets and I.

  • Base Layer (Underwear Layer): Wicks Sweat Off Your Skin 2
    Layering Basics When you step outdoors, the ancient art of layering becomes your smart-technology thermostat. This tried-and-true strategy lets you regulate comfort by slipping layers on and off as your activity level or the weather changes. How to layer: To understand layering your clothing for outdoor activities, you need to know the function of each layer: 1. Base layer (underwear layer): wicks sweat off your skin 2. Middle layer (insulating layer): retains body heat to protect you from the cold 3. Outer layer (shell layer): shields you from wind and rain Even if you don’t wear all three layers at the outset, it’s a good idea to take all layers on every outing: You can peel off layers if things heat up, but you can’t put on layers that you didn’t bring along. We’re often asked about how to layer for certain weather. Any suggestions based solely on weather, though, overlook key considerations, like exertion level and personal metabolism. All recommendations are for someone who doesn’t run particularly hot or cold, who is going on an intermediate-level half-day hike: Cold-weather layers: Midweight polyester long underwear top and bottom; a jacket with synthetic insulation; midweight fleece pants; waterproof/breathable rain jacket and pants. Base Layer: Moisture Management As the next-to-skin layer, a base layer’s job is moving perspiration away from your skin, aka “wicking.” In cool or cold conditions, wicking long-underwear-style base layers are needed to keep your skin dry. That’s essential because it helps to keep you from becoming chilled or worse—hypothermic.
