Did women back then really do their housework in high heels, LOL. That is a nice set of Norges. I had to move and my new roommates washer is a Amana, and won't agitate with the lid open :-( laundry isn't fun unless I can see some wash action, LOL.

Did woman wear Heels?
I remember the 50s very well.Not many,alot of them wore house dresses and shoes like Eunice on Mamas skit on the Carol Burnett show.They also wore aprons,usually ones they made. The new generation in their teens and early twenties did wear jeans and an old cotton dress shirt to clean in,but you NEVER saw anyone out of the house with curlers in their hair.You did dress up to go shopping and that meant the grocery store also.People bought groceries only once aweek,none of this constantly going to the 7-11.In the spring where we lived folks bought produce and eggs from the back of an old 1930s Dodge truck with an open bed with a scale hanging off of it.Very few people had 2cars so you rode the bus or took the husband to work and used the car that day.On Sundays we drove up to the airport and watched the planes land and takeoff,all old DC3s sometimes a big DC6 would come in.It was fun and inexpensive.Kids today miss alot.

Both grandma's wore the old, ugly orthopedic shoes like Vicki Lawrence's character "Mama" did. In black, of course. Grandma Wilde did however have a patent leather pair for Sundays and special occasions. Homemade housedresses for them.

grandmother's dresses
My grandmother always wore simple cotton print dresses that she made herself. The one I remember most and liked the best was a multicolored pattern of little pairs of scissors!
In her spirit, I have kitchen aprons that I made out of wacky cotton prints bought from Walmart. My favorite is a print of flip-flops, and a Christmas one with little snowmen.

my mother left the workforce as a registered nurse in 1964. I remember she wore my father's wore out white dress shirts and either a pair of shorts in the summer or long pants in winter...the outfit was her work clothes...I don't ever remember mother wearing a dress, heels and perls to do house work. I do remember when we went shopping or OMG!!! "downtown" she and I were dressed like we were going to church. If I was difficult and wouldn't change..that was grounds for spending the shopping trip sitting in the car. Did anyone's mother really dress like June Cleaver or Donna Reed to do daily household chores? My grandmother wore cotton house dresses and orthopedic looking footwear; she made her dresses "sewed them on her fingers" which meant she didn't have a sewing maching so she hand stiched them. Wow..how things have changed
