No more scratchies on the legs then! That net can be vicous stuff! HTH Sarah Sarah, that's an excellent idea! I didn't have to wear the petticoat I made - my DSD got that pleasure! LOL! She only reported that she removed her pantyhose very early in the evening - never said what happened to her leggies... ;- -- Trish {|:-} Newcastle, Australia |

I have always folded the netting in half so that the exposed edge was a
fold - no more scratches or snags. The raw edge was attached to the slip or up inside a waistband - no skin contact! Cynthia "Trish Brown" wrote in message ...

Just running off at a tangent: I'd like to remind y'all that the last time crinoline petticoats were in fashion, we wore full slips under them. I had one that was made of a coarse net that was, for all practical purposes, "horsehair" braid all over. But there were no ends sticking out, so it wouldn't have snagged my stockings even without the slip.
