'Make Do and Mend'...or just 'Make It' - OTHER WEIRD SHIT

LINGERIE GUARDS

To be fastened on the underside of a summer /evening dress shoulder strap, these ingenious devices ( a press-stud attached to a bit of ribbon with tiny safety pins that anchor you bra strap so it won’t slip down and show, goodness gracious, heaven forbid, the shame!! yeah that was in the days when women cared, now they have see-through straps and boldly flash their thong tops to all and sundry ....I may sound like a prude but really Ladies, one has to have a bit of mystery, these men-folk seek a prize ~ not a strumpet.
