I do love this tip! Zip Ties!! Forget the hardware store, I have these in my electrical bag :D

Thought I'd also add this link for anyone interested in more supplies...

Oh goodness gracious! Was there a winner?

Wow...I wonder just how many comments will be posted before August 4th! Will be interesting to see :)

I think the future of undergarments will swing right back to vintage styles (at least for a short time). The styles will be vintage, but the materials will be all new, with many of the newer stretch fabrics allowing for more movement where movement would be most useful (for instance, in allowing the wearer to actually breath!).

I'm also wondering if there might be something developed to include some sort of disposable panty/pantyliner into pants to eliminate the need for undies (and lines) under pants...the thongs today couldn't possibly get any smaller! (could they?! Scary thought!)

I've discovered I have a certain fascination with undergarments...particularly, corsets...and seem to be passing that fascination down to my daughter. For her grade 8 graduation, I took a course on making corsets, and created a dress for her grad that was a gathered ribbon-hemmed organza over crinoline skirt with a strapless corset for the top - from her design. The experience gave me a whole new appreciation for what a work of art a corset can be!
