Hi All,
I've found all your replies really helpful and now have a question on the
practicalities of a small wardrobe. How many dresses would a lower middle
class married woman have in her wardrobe? What type of garments would they
have been, wrappers, dresses, nightgowns, etc.? And what would you wear on
laundry day if you only had one dress? I've read how the kids would be told to
stay in their rooms in their undies while the laundry was drying but mom would
have had to wear something while out in the yard hanging out the clothes to
dry. Ditto for dad because he couldn't not work just because his clothes were
being washed.
