Many look back on the mid-1960's as the golden era of the long-leg panty
girdle. A glimpse at contemporary catalogues and department store flyers makes
one wonder if that halcyon age has not returned. The tradition of elegant
foundation photography lives on in ads from mail order houses such as One Hanes
Place, and stores such as Neiman Marcus. Though the garments may be coyly
labelled "shapers" or "bike pants," their derivation is
unmistakable.
