    I just read your chapters. I observed few parts or scenes there were nearly similar to mine, but that doesn’t mean I copied you. I had mine in the draft last month before you posted yours. Like others say, great minds think alike. But don’t worry, your Candy is from 1920’s and mine is modern.

    Good read though 😉

    Hello Reeka dear! I was typing a reply to you earlier, but something went wrong, and poof! My long comment was gone! 🙁 Grrrr….

    Anyway, I’m so glad corsets belong to the past, and how tedious it must be to undo the laces on the back of the corset! Poor Albert… hahaha… but I think part of the fun is undressing each other, and I bet back then men found corsets and other lingerie very sexy and enticing! I know people still shop for these antique lingeries nowadays, and even modern ones mimic those. About undershirts, I personally know some parents who still give their sons undershirts in winter. An extra layer of clothes makes a difference they said! 😛 About drawers, I find them bulky if not clumsy, but I’m sure men in those days must find them irresistible because drawers was the absolute last layer of ‘defense’!! 😉 😛 🙂

    Talking about the Great Gatsby, the costumes were eye candies, simply dazzling! By then, the thick layers of undergarments were fading in popularity, and they were replaced by bras, girdles and garters, etc. Also, tight underpants took over drawers… lol.

    Swimwear shown in the manga wasn’t quite historical correct for Stear and Archie. They shouldn’t bare their chests at all. It wasn’t publicly acceptable back then. Remember one of the last scenes in The Great Gatsby, Leonardo’s version? He wore a tank top to swim. 🙂

    About Candy’s reaction to seeing Albert for the first time… she was literally shocked to see that… hahaha… but I think this is understandable… lol lol… did you laugh when reading that? That’s a compliment to me. Come to think of it, Candy probably had never imagined that in her whole life what she was going to experience! 😛 😉

      Oh yaaa .. i remember Leo’s singlet for swimming. Mmmm now i can imagine Albert must be hotter than Leo in that kind of singlet hahaha ( ops..but your Albert didn’t wear anything, right? LOL). Btw i myself am a huge fan of Leo, for his acting though. Until now, i still find that Paul Walker was the perfect Albert. I know you said he’s kind of a bit tough, but if you google his images out of acting role, he’s actually kinda sweet. Poor him died too soon 🙁

      We in Indonesia are actually still very much familiar with corset, especially when we wear our national dress, kebaya. Like in here http://www.pinterest.com/christyuk90/kebaya-beautiful-wedding-gown-from-indonesia/ . I wore ones for my engagement and wedding. However, the corsets were using zipper or errr ..somekind of button with a hook ( i don’t know how to say in english). So, it wasn’t that depressing to undo it. Hahahha

      • Ms Puddle says:

        Yes… That kind of singlet! I’ve always liked Leo’s acting, ever since Titanic lol! He deserves some recognition, especially his performance as Gatsby! What a love fool… Sigh :-(… He died still thinking that woman loved him. :'(

        About Paul Walker, you’re not alone! He was a handsome man for sure, just not exactly my ideal. There are many who still mourn for him. What a tragic death I must say, even though I’m not a big fan.

        I know exactly what you mean by corsets with hook-and-eye closure, dear! Those work very well (if not magic) to flaunt our feminine shapes! I’m sure you looked very nice on your engagement and wedding! 😀

        I have a couple of modern corsets myself for special occasions, when I want to look elegant or ladylike in evening gowns (especially those with thin straps or even strapless). Yet again, it’s no longer a daily wear like other kinds of underwear. 😉

    As soon as i read this post, i remember something i haven’t told you. I did laugh when i read that part when Albert desperately untied Candy’s corset laces. Hahahhaa i told him in my mind “you would love to live in modern days, Albert!”

    Honestly i am all about American fashion in 1920s – 1970s. I found that the fact they wore negligee and nightgown when sleeping & corset and garter and stocking under their dress are very feminine and sexy. So womanly. However, i found the undershirt and drawers are a bit ridiculous hahaha. It’s so not sexy. But hey, it’s a modern girl speaking here, i bet men in that time found that layers of undergarments were attractive :D.

    Though i’m a bit confused sometimes with the fashion in late of 1910s and 1920s. I learnt that decade was a transition from victorian to edwardian to modern (roaring twenties) era. If i saw Great Gatsby, they wore dresses which quite similar to 1950s and above. I didn’t see layers of ridiculous undergarments under their flowing dresses.

    And for the swimwear, i’ve always imagined like what Mizuki drew on scene when Candy, Annie, Archie, and Stear swam on lake at Chicago mansion. The one popular in 1920s-1930s era.

    Btw Ms Puddle, i’m one of the readers who thought Candy’s reaction was too shy yet funny. I was amused when reading she closed her mouth with her hand to stop her screaming when she saw Albert’s manhood. LOL.
