Peekaboo!
This item for women only. By 1950, women will be wearing skintight underthings beneath transparent dresses, predicts dress designer Elois Jenssen. “Let’s face it,” says Jenssen. “Women’s underwear is terrible. A stocking attached to a garter belt is revolting.” She predicts full-length tights for winter and thigh-length shorties for summer to replace panties, brassieres, slips and girdles. They’ll be in pink, black and flesh tones. “Over the one-piece foundation garment,” says Jenssen, “enlightened women will wear filmy peekaboo dresses.”
