AG Undies!

Anyone read Harry Potter? I loved the altercation with the old wizard at the beginning of the Triwizard Tournament about the fact he was wearing a ladies' nightgown. The wizards were supposed to wear muggle clothes to be inconspicuous instead of their regular robes. This old guy insisted he liked to keep some air circulatin' down there and he'd bought his outfit in a muggle shop and everything. And when I dated (briefly) a member of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders band, he told me very clearly that the true Scotsman would never wear anything at all under his kilt. So maybe undies are overrated?

My best friend insists it's been for a woman's "health" to go around commando. Thanks, but no thanks, I'll stick to my fruit-o-the-looms.

As for dolls...how historically accurate are the undies the dolls arrive with? I thought it was odd Felicity wears a shift but no panties and a Kirsten has pantaloons but nothing on top. I found that odd, but it might be how it was back then. Was it?

The most I know about historical undies is in Victorian times, girls and women wore split drawers. I guess so if they had to use the latrine, they didn't have to get undressed. javascript: x()

Felicity doesn't wear underpants because they weren't invented yet. Undergarments original purpose was not modesty, it was to protect clothes from the body (wahing was difficult). Felicity's petticoatsand shift serve this pupose.
