Naturally price could vary quite a bit, just as today. (Off the rack from China vs. designer or custom made)
Here's one site that might be useful. Note the wedding dress price is for "sample" dresses, so may not be very accurate. http://www.gti.net/mocolib1/prices/1958.html ::Linda:: -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Catherine Kinsey Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2007 8:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [h-cost] Prices in 1957 Would anyone know of a resource for finding the prices of things in 1957? I'm not looking for a current value but what something would have cost in 1957. Specifically a cocktail length wedding dress?? My in-laws are having their 50th annv. in 2 weeks and the kids want to prepare a card where the punchline is "50 years together, priceless". They are trying to find the cost of typical wedding items from this year for the rest of the bit. For some reason they thought I would know about the dress :). _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
