Look at the men (wearing suits, of course) in the audience – amazing. If I tried to drag my husband to a “blixie” fashion show, I’m sure he’d volunteer to babysit the kids so I could go with my sister, instead!

When I was a little girl (in the ’70′s) I had two-piece pajamas that snapped together at the waist, presumably to keep them in place while allowing a potty trained child to use the bathroom independently. I wonder if that wouldn’t be easier than crotch fastening?

I tuck my blouses into my tights. They stay very nicely.

I know in the Edwardian or victorian era they had a split crotch in their bloomers, which pulled to each side to allow bathroom functions. This is a thought provoking idea, since I have a long torso and end up with blouses untucked all the time. and being heavy I think tucked ones look neater.

FWIW, thanks for the idea. Kitty

They’re supposed to be warmer, since it gets cold in the mountains. I was pleased to make that discovery, but bummed that no one sold a slip for smaller than a size 3x.

A peplum of sorts.

These things are cute, but they are basically just playsuits worn under a skirt.
