My G'ma always put on a pair of "boxer short" type "silkies". I want to say she reffered to them as her "Tap Pants"! but upon attempting to get into this whole "foundation garments" thing down, for the better looks of the dresses & such, I have attempted to find these items (ie "Tap Pants" or "Silkies")& can't! SO,now comes.... my daughter! (a quick wited 32 year old!) said to me "Mom, you can get men's silk boxer shorts at any of the big 3 stores!![walmart,kmart,kohl's]That would be PERFECT for your delema!" I said "yeah but i don't want that huge peice of elastic gathered band around the waist area as I already have the "lady lumps" of middle age vieing(sp) for that area!"HA! she then says to me "well,use the seam ripper to get that area free, take out the elastic & put in your draw string like what we use on our pantaloons for the other reenactments we participate in!DugH!Besides!that will lengthen the croch to waist depth for your added comfort as well!" oh so smart! Such a smartie pants too! so theres an idea of the over the girdle,corseltte situation!plus your covered if you slip & fall on a cubhttp://www.pandoraschoice.com/ekmps/shops/pandoraschoice/images/luxury-satin-cami-knickers-262-p.jpge of ice!

If you are into 50s style my dancing friends in Sydney run a store and they have some great dresses.

Really good quality and all made from original patterns. They have a shop and I think the garments are priced pretty well.
