I forgot to mention stockings. The stockings must have seams in them, and the seams must be staight!

Oh, we did not dress up at home either — only for church and to go downtown. My mother would not have thought of going out anywhere — grocery shopping, hairdresser, etc. — without being dressed up, although the hat and gloves were not included.

When I was playing outside, as a child, I could not be dressed up as I was constantly climbing trees and running around, IOW, I was a tomboy. But, when it was time to get gussied up for church, I was all for it.

The slovenly ways of dress today match the widespread sloppy behavior, IMO.
