I just have this great mental picture of spreading a dress out to just the 'correct' extent as you sit. And now you have me thinking about Christie's <i>Hallowe'en Party</i>, where one character mentions how her grandmother (who was in domestic service) worked for young women who would dampen their skirts. It had the same effect as the bathing suit does here. Amazing how clothes are used that way. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
