And, speaking as the mother of two very fashionable young women: NEVER have they kept a dress (shared no less) for eight years. Unless they are (and I can hear you saying yes...they were) Chanel, Balenciaga, Worth, Lanvin...no kid keeps dresses that long. Unless they are hoarders or Rachel Zoe...and she doesn't collect Gap. (Rachel Zoe that is.)

Everything my sister and I wore was bought on sale or at the outlets. A garter belt is worn over the knickers and not underwear in that sense it is no different than a corset.

I also wore my sisters junior prom dress to my senior prom. My mother was putting 3 children threw school on a nurse's salary.
