A View of A Kitchen; Mid 1950s
In the 1950s, a young housewife is in her kitchen making dinner. While this scene would not be out of place in our world there is one crucial difference. Her dress is nearly the size of the kitchen itself!!! By the mid 1950s the average width of day dresses were around 6 feet. The young women in the picture is much more fashionable, wearing a dress that appears to be 7 or so feet wide. This is very fashion forward of her as that size was just coming into vogue at this time for formal wear. It was a little unusual to see such large dresses during non formal events; though one could imagine a fashionable wife wearing such large dresses during a special occasion at home. Though one does have to imagine her needing some help in the kitchen as there isn’t much room for her to move around in that giant dress!!!
