vintage white panties or something

I got a bag full of older looking panties and stuff from an estate sale last week.
The lady was a square dancer back in the day, these where hers.
Anybody know what they are called ?

Thank You

Billy D.

 

Bloomers perhaps?

 

Pantaloons maybe?

 

pantalettes.............made to be seen, but just a tantalizing glimpse at a time.................

 

They are called pettipants:

Haha Any! the width of your knowledge is AMAZING!

 

@kyratango , I amaze myself sometimes.

I used to dance in an international folk dance group, some members were also square dancers. They taught me one square dance, after that they gave up. I never knew where to go, and just said: who will have me? Which didn't work well...
My specialities were Bulgarian, Armenian, Gypsy. And Flamenco, but that was an entirely different 'world'.

 

Any Jewelry, I love the way you word things.

You provided my first chuckle this morning (if I don't count my dog's early-morning, happy-to-see-a-new-day antics).

 

Popular in the 1960s. (Before pantyhose.)

Glad I gave you a good start to your day (after your dog of course).

 

so...it begs the question....Billy, what are you doing with women's frilly underthings ??

 

If she was a Square Dancer, probably meant to be seen whilst she was doing her whirrrrrling and twirrrling!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I am so glad that what I expected from the title was not what Billy had to show us!

 

They might be rather fetching on a guy. Fetching of what I couldn't say.

 

emmm...I'd think for a guy, they would be akin to a small hotel.....

 

Do I dare ask?

 

Awesome Any Jewelry, I wish I had your brain...Do you still dance ? That's so cool..

 

Haha, estate sale find. I resell for a living...

 

Very cool Aquitaine. Now that you mention it, I have seen women in vintage movies wearing these while dancing, Thank You.

 

I had to stop because of my health. Did enjoy it very much while it lasted, we also got to travel and know dancers and dance traditions from all over the globe. I still watch dance videos, even though it can be a bit bittersweet.
An Armenian dance video, the kind of thing I used to dance:


(I confess, I still occasionally walk around the house making those arm and hand movements...)
