There are a lot of underpinnings that help make women look good in clothing. Robert should be thankful they’re not living a hundred years earlier, otherwise he’d have far more layers to take off and an actual laced corset to untie. This is relatively light by comparison.

Midge returns the kiss while he works. When she feels that he’s unhooked the dress completely, she pulls back and sits up. She takes her arms out of the dress and lets it fall to her waist, then puts her feet on the floor. Standing up, she takes the dress off fully, stepping out of it. She lays it carefully over a chair. As mentioned, it’s a Dior. Midge would prefer that nothing happen to it.

She’s less concerned about the underwear that she’s left in, white lace bra and panties with a matching garter belt and nude colored stockings. More things for Robert to undo, but if he’s rough with these, she won’t be that upset. Midge takes a moment to slip off her heels, then rejoins him on the bed.

“You’re overdressed.”
