Mine was born in Kansas in 1887. Yes on all accounts except for the
trousers <grin>; they were a really conservative family.
Her wedding dress had been used to make my dad's first suit (I have
the pattern, but not the suit). And her trousseau underwear featured a
"combination" undergarment with wide legs and only a front placket. No
open drawers for her, and bras were not yet common.
"But Grandma, how did you --" I asked, thinking how difficult my one-
piece coulottes dress was to remove to use the "necessary."
"Oh," she laughed, "we just pulled one of the legs aside!"

bib. Her stockings were heavy lisle fastened at the knee. Her
drawers were crotch opened for ease of elimination and she wore no
bra. Does this help. Please respond.
