I couldn't figure out what to wear under my clothes. The body shapers were too thick at the time. ↗

I cut the feet out of control top pantyhose one night, threw them on under my white pants and realized that the toning and shaping was perfect and that the hosiery material is thin enough that I could make shape wear out of it. ↗
