A quick fix for missing/broken tabs and buttons: slide a sideways penny behind your stocking through the garter
clasp, then turn it facing flat. My mum used to do this (she found it embarrassing and thrifty, but I think it's rather clever).

That is clever! Thanks for sharing! This is a great thread. I currently own 2 Rago 821's. I adore it! I started out wearing them with dresses and skirts but I've recently taken to wearing them with slacks. I'm looking to expand my girdle wardrobe and I'm considering a rago 9357 and wearing a 1294 with the 2202.Originally Posted by MandyTori
^ I've had to do that a few times! I actually find that a nickel works best, because it is heavy and thick enough that it won't "pull" through if you're moving around quite a bit.
I'm considering the 1294 myself and was curious what people thought of it.

For my taste the 1294 is just a bit to heavy for everyday use – i prefer the Rago 1365. It gives you good support, keeps your stocking seams are straight and blends in perfectly with your body movements.I'm considering the 1294 myself and was curious what people thought of it.
I have had some durability issues with my 1294 -- hooks pulling loose, boning slipping out of seam pockets, garter straps pulling out of the hem, things like that. I tend to move around a lot, and that puts a lot of strain on a girdle, so if one is more active than usual I'd recommend a pull-on panty girdle instead.

I'm not very active at all. I sit at a desk all day, so no extra strain. Darn life of a desk jockey...

I really like Rago 1361 but I also have a pull on girdle from Nylon Dreams that I love. It's very soft and not contricting at all, which is great ecpecially at certain times of the month.
I have a Crepe Suzette 1476, from Orchard Corset. I love it. It's comfortable, has excellent control, wears well, and takes inches off without bunching or creeping. I like it so much I'm about to order another one in black. They're on sale right now for under $20. Highly recommended.
I have a couple of Bellanca 5004 for every day wear. It's a rather soft and comfortable pull on girdle that doesn't do much in regard to shaping. But since I basically only need something that keeps up my stockings without the bulge I get from garters it's perfect for me. And they're fairly inexpensive so I can have several and toss them in the washing machine when I launder my other delicates every other week. I buy them from Korsett Atelier Kassel.
