THRIFT STORE FIND: VINTAGE SIGN - IF NOT FOR CHOCOLATE THERE WOULD NO NEED FOR CONTROL TOP PANTYHOSE

 

If you are under 30 you might be scratching your head over this one.

I found this in a thrift store and I am guessing this is from the 1970s when Control Top Pantyhose became popular as it eliminated the need for some women that used to wear a girdle with their pantyhose just to wear hose, so it was a big deal for those women.  

Teen girls even wore them under slinky dresses as it gave a cleaner line to the garment.

These days pantyhose is not the wardrobe staple they used to be for women, let alone control top, but they are still great for formal dress, special occasions, or certain garments.

THRIFT STORE FIND: FREDDY KRUEGER LOOKING DRESS




Because the beckoning of a half-price sale at our local Goodwill I ventured out and spotted the above dress.

Not sure why the manufacturer, LuLaRoe, thought Freddy Krueger would be a great inspiration for one of their Junior looking dresses.
