    I loved doing this when I was younger and when I got my first place of my own, used to order stuff, just to try and then return. They never seemed to bother and they always sent a return label so postage was free.

    The thing I probably remember most about the catalog era was the JCPenney Christmas Wish Book. When I first started to paying attention to such things, there were probably 6-8 pages of really nice, "special" sleepwear. Slowly but surely, the number of pages dwindled until the last couple I remember seeing didn't have any at all. As so many others have said, those were the days...

    here in Hollywood many are dressed as women.

    There are so many CD's/TS in Hollywood and it's only embarrassing to go shopping in guy/drab mode in Hollywood.
    The only other place like this but better is San Francisco.

    We have the original sears here and I use to look at the lingerie and support clothing in the catalogs like girdles and bra's.

    I used to love looking at the Sears, Penney's, Wards, Spiegel and Alden's catalogs and I bet you can guess which sections I used to look at. The first item I ever purchased was a pair of flats from Montgomery Wards. They were navy blue. Since I was living at home I was very afraid my mother would see them. She didn't and I went through the same scenario a few more times before I moved out. Wards became my go to store because of the styles they offered and the fit of the dresses. I miss shopping like that.

    I am going to try to posts couple of pics of the good ol days. Alden's, 1977, I always wondered how they got away with this. It is an awsome pic and that is why I kept this for38 years. I pull this out ever now and than and wished I looked like one of these. The one in the center with her reflection in the mirror is my favorite. But then they are all great'!!!!'!!!!!!!!

    In the pre-internet days I lived in Germany and there the catalogue was a very popular method of mail-order shopping. I used them to acquire girly things, once I found out what my size was in Continental numbers.

    I used to obsess over the JC Penny catalog! I loved the fashion of the 80s and 90s growing up.

    Oh...so many pleasant adolescent memories flipping through the Sear's, JCP, and Montgomery Wards fall and spring. I was certainly coming to age as a little girl during the '80's when big hair, big shoulder padded dresses, and esp. aerobic dance wear were all the rage!! Such pleasant memories looking over stuff I just dreamed to own back then!! And as a normal male kid, the Christmas catalogs were not bad either!!

    Growing up in a small and remote New England town... the Sears catalog was the closest equivalent we had to a "store." I hope that no one in my family noticed that the pages of the lady's underwear section were all dog-eared within a week after we got our quarterly catalog.... (and it was in the bathroom!!!!)......
