If you are one of those style conscious girls who still enjoys wearing full fashioned hosiery, this tip is for you. The tip could be for most ladies, as older styles do have a tendency to return periodically.
So, you found a long 'run' in your last pair of stockings, you're strapped for cash, and you don't have time to dash out to Macy's, anyway. Well, here is the absolutely most frugal way around your dilemma:
Give your (steady handed) hubby your eyebrow pencil and then stand on a low stool. Have him draw a very neat line on each leg from back center of your upper thigh, straight down to your ankle. Shades of Betty Boop! From a rear view, everyone will wonder how you keep your seams so straight. (Do note that this tip works best for faking sheers and is not intended for a fishnet illusion).
Many a frugal minded lady used this money saving technique during WW2 when there was a shortage of nylons due to the fact most nylon had been diverted for use in the manufacturing of parachutes for our airborne troops.
My next tip will be for ordinary items found around the house that can be used as a rat for your pompadour hair do. Why spend 29¢ at Woolworth's when you can make your own?
23 skidoo, Y'all!
