The days of yesteryear. A wardrobe was a valuable commodity for any woman. Each piece was held in high regard and was carefully stitched by hand or treadle machine. Quality workmanship was essential, as there were not discount stores to buy a quick replacement if stitching wore out. Each outfit was carefully planned and accessorized. And extras were the exception, not the rule. The result, some very well dressed women! The stories of Laura Ingalls Wilder and the emphasis given to sewing her wedding trousseau has always held much fascination for me!
Ohhhhhh, didn't you just love the Little House series....both books and tv shows. Such simpler times, in some regards. Take care and have a nice Sunday! Sincerely, Susan from writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteIt's great fun to listen to my grandmother discuss her wardrobe when she was first a working gal. That'd make a good post, wouldn't it?!
ReplyDeleteI remember reading all the Little House on the Prairie books to my kids when they were young. What fun memories. I love old linens and lace.
ReplyDeleteOh, how wonderful it would be to go back to that way of thinking & living!
