A confession

I think one of the things that is currently appealing to me about doing 1940s costuming is... That I can still buy the undergarments at the store!  Or at least online.  I just bought a lovely Rago long-line girdle for about $50. It's not *the* most supportive thing ever, but it gives the approximate shape and will anchor my garters.  (I'm actually thinking I need to sew in a waist tape, because it's rather more... tubular than is properly period.)
