When I was a girl step-ins were not knickers (or bloomers), they were more of a light corset affair that you could step into, hence the name. Worn over knickers. Can't believe that I was ever so stupid as to wear them, especially as I was so skinny you could count my ribs.

To keep on topic I am currently reading "Fortress on the Sun" which was a freebie through MR a while ago and am enjoying it a lot.
