Look Ma, No Bra

When this cartoon appeared in Playboy, women were shedding their mother's foundation garments with great abandon and there was some truth in the concern expressed by the cartoon transgirl.

Fast-forward 40 years and we find that bras made a big comeback and are available in more styles and colors than ever before. On the other hand, girdles did not follow suit and are only available in a limited number of styles and colors to the chagrin of many transgirls of a certain age.
