“Pantyhose were expensive. I had nice department store hose for special occasions, and bulk mail order hose for daily wear. They had to be washed in mesh bags and hung to dry.

In the summer I’d get swamp crotch when it was hot and humid, and heat rash on my thighs where they rubbed.

Heels had to be polished, and the heel tips replaced at the shoe shop. Most office clothes were dry clean only, and it was expensive, and yet another errand. Office clothes were expensive. I didn’t have many clothes; I had to plan what to wear and time the dry cleaning. I don’t miss the nightmare of heels and hose from the ’80s.”
