I know there are a few of you out there that have tackled sewing undergarments...but could you imagine knitting them. It has never crossed my mind that women in the 1940s knit their bras and panties....
The other day I had the TV on and a newscast came on about how Kate Middleton (does she still go by that name?) wore this dress on her fist outing without her prince. I gasped! I fell in love! ...
