Mama Kat Thursday: Wardrobe Malfunction
The Mama Kat topic option for this week is: "Write about a wardrobe malfunction." I was in high school during those uncomfortable years before jeans were okay to wear to school and pantyhose was a wardrobe staple. Girls wore either dresses with nylons, the thigh-high kind that require a girdle with garters, or a nice pantsuit. (It was the very early 70's and classy wide-leg pantsuits were all the rage!) So, on my day of strategic wardrobe failure, I was a freshman in high school wearing a dress with nylons. It was a simple, sleeveless shift dress that zipped up the back with a long metal zipper that ran from my color to my tailbone. It wasn't one my Mother made. If it had been, I'm quite sure it wouldn't have malfunctioned, but this dress was a used, previously worn dress that had somehow come into my hands. It had a course, tweedy weave in a off-white color and I liked it. I guess that metal zipper just abruptly came apart in the middle, splitt...
