    I liked the article. I agree about the house dress seen today is thought to be dressing up I often get the “what are you so dressed up for” when casually wearing a house dress. My favorites are the swirl style wrap dresses that close in the back.

    This was an interesting article. I didn’t grow up during this time, but it’s so fun to read about the history of clothes. Thanks!
