Real Ossie Girls Go Bra-less

Courtney, Courtney, Courtney. Now I do admire your choice of dress, it’s a fab Ossie and it’s definitely better than what I normally see you in…..but girl, Ossie didn’t like underwear. He never buttoned his dresses low enough for a gal to wear big pants. He never once put one of those little bra-holder loops in the shoulders of one of his dresses. The chiffons were sheer for a reason. Those skintight corset satin trousers simply don’t have enough room for knickers.

No brassieres with Ossies, ok? If you can’t get your tatas in your dress, get a bigger dress or some smaller implants!

[no one wants to catch a chill down south so I think we’re ok to wear knickers in the winter!]

Nice choice of arm candy though πŸ˜‰

    Hi there-this picture is doing the blog rounds and not in a good way!!I totally agree with your comments though-where I’m flat chested I would have felt really glamorous if I was wearing Ossie in 1970!

    Tell me about it! I used to cry myself to sleep as a teenager about my ‘insufficient flying buttresses’ (as someone once said about Diana Rigg!), now I really appreciate them – for they enable me to wear all my favourite clothes. I’m a strong believer in finding the era which suits your body shape, mine is early Seventies (which is lucky – hurrah!!)….

    Seriously, she doesn’t have the body type for this. I don’t know why she needs a bra with those plastic ta-tas anyway…I assumed she just wore it to attempt to keep her nips from flying out.
