I'm Wondering

Once it gets to warm to wear hose with all the cute skirts and dresses in my closet - I end up still wearing hose. How about you? Do you worry about whether or not you have the smoothness you get with hose? Are you self-conscious all day about whether you're keeping your stomach sucked in? We are headed to Arizona for a few days next week and I don't want to pack hose, but I do want the 'confidence' boost that they give. The smoothing benefits and the knowledge that if I relax those stomach muscles - I'm going to be uncomfortable. So, I'm just wondering - what do you wear under your skirts and dresses when it's too warm for hose?

    I made up a several long legged panties from mystery fabric (polyester? rayon? tricot? some sort of fabric that is used in slips) using Kwiksew 2702 and wide lace. I wear them over my regular jockey panties. These LLPs sew up very quickly and I don't know what I would have done without them. They don't bind at my waist, legs, or crotch, my thighs don't rub against one another and they allow the skirt to flow over my legs.

    I only wear hose under threat of torture. ;) I know lots of ladies like wearing Spanx for the 'hold-in' factor rather than having to wear hose in the summer.s

    Spanx, my dear, Spanx. Get two or three pairs so you can hand wash them at the hotel. It's all I wore in Hawaii under sarongs. No undies required. They are great and definitely worth the investment.

    I never EVER wear hose. HATE THEM..instant bad mood just THINKING about wearing them. We go to several formals a year (military..it is my punishment for skipping prom in high school!) and i refuse to wear them. I looked in all the fashion mags, and very seldom do the celebs wear them under their formals, so i figured it was ok. not that i cared all that much!

    I have 2 "pant" slips that are the same length as regular slips. These are great because you have the effect of shorts underneath your skirt but with the feel and functionality of a slip. Under that I have the equivalent of a pair of spanx on. The combination works very well.
