I wish other women would admit to wearing braces. I dont see this as a fad as I have always enjoyed wearing braces . Why should men have the monopoly on these lovely items ?? I wore them when I was pregnant propper ones not the maternity ones . For me I love braces so I just went and bought some funky pairs!! I was fed up with picking my trousers off the floor or heaving them up even with side adjusters , I did hide them under jumpers and cardies and heaven forbid had anyone seen them at the time !! I'm getting braver though, I have worn dress pants to work with braces albeit with a buttoned jacket up but I think some people got a glimpse of them !!! My husband likes me in them too. I would dispute the fact that that they are 'men only' . Firstly women in ancient egypt wore trousers, secondly I want to have my trousers sitting correctly and benefit from having them improving my posture. I don't mind wearing trousers with no belt or braces or just a belt but I love the secure feeling of wearing trousers with a lovely pair of braces. Today I'm wearing a wonderful maroon pair with white stripes I have 7 pairs of braces but have ordered some more as I plan on wearing them more often !!
So come on ladies admit to loving braces, wear them with pride and spread the word!!! We need more of us to speak out . I'm not the only one. I think there is a need for female literary heroines and characters that wear braces. I do some Am dram acting and I would love to play a lady character who proudly braces on her trousers!!
I have recently asked about this topic on an e-mail forum and have been adding some pairs to my amazon wish list!!
Bye for now !!! *tugs braces*
