This ad is from "Good Housekeeping," November 1954. I thought some of you might enjoy it.

It is a nice looking machine. I don't see how women back then could cook and clean in heels. | ||

Honey It Wasn't Just The High Heels
But the girdle and or merry widow, stockings, petticoats and god only knows what else a 1950's woman wore as undergarments. Most women had simple schmates a housedress. Some simply wore jeans and one of their husband's old shirts. It is worth remembering though the 1950's was probably the last era of "cheap" domestic help, mainly from minority women working as maids. Mrs. Ward Clever and the rest may have worn aprons and such, but rarely saw any 1950's housewife of that era portrayed on television doing heavy housework. Mrs. Lucy Ricardo and her side kick Mrs. Ethel Mertz were a refreshing change. One got to see how housewives looked when they woke up and got the house started in order to get breakfast on the table. Curlers, bath robes, floppy slippers, pretty much summed up the moms on our block in the AM! *LOL* | ||
