Girdles and Garters

A museum exhibit

Showed 200 years

Of clothing for women

In varied careers.

 

It also had items

To wear in the home –

The aprons and housecoats

Not oft in a poem.

 

The garters and girdles

Made us reminisce

About underwear parts

Not one woman would miss.

 

Certain styles have evolved

While some retro ones last,

But I’m happy some things

Have remained in the past.
