My Way
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009Under my blouse I wear a pocketed camisole made of cotton or silk for hot climes, or of polyester for cooler places. The first one I made was fro, an old cotton dress with Philippine embroidery I did not want to throw away. The second was polyester with open- mesh work on the sides for air circulation. The third is black silk teddy, remodeled. I usually take two on a long journey.
In the front pockets I keep traveler’s check, cash, passport and credit cards. In back pockets I place airplane tickets and extra cash. This is a fairly thick pocketful, which fits easily in the small of my back. In my travel vest or outside carryall, I keep only the amount of money I expect to spend that day. If I need any of the items in my safety camisole, they are easily available under a loose blouse or shirt.
