Since the early pantyhose were even more uncomfortable than garter belts, and were quite expensive, I only bought one pair in the sixties. I don't recall when I gave them another chance, but by then I'd stopped working in hose, so a pair lasts me forever. I don't even wear hose to church these days -- I wear long pants or a floor-length skirt. I wore nylon knee socks a few times last year, but this year I've worn wool crew socks and been careful how I sit! I might wear hose more often if you could still buy the opaque rayon hose grandmothers used to wear. -- Joy Beeson http://home.earthlink.net/~joybeeson/ http://home.earthlink.net/~dbeeson594/ROUGHSEW/ROUGH.HTM http://home.earthlink.net/~beeson_n3f/ west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where it's hot and dry.
