Class always looks good not much of it around now days.

[deweyfrank]

Hey, I used to date her!!

[GnuThere]

I don’t think I ever saw my grandmother in slacks back in the 60s, not even when gardening.
Aunt Bee and all her friends on Andy Griffith were always dressed up, often with gloves on, too.

[Seruzawa]

My maternal grandmother was originally from Finland. She died in 1983. She never wore anything but a dress. I never once saw her in anything else.

[Dead Corpse]

Waiting for an Edwardian revival myself...

[Governor Dinwiddie]

What, no neck tattoos? No pierced noses? No tattoo "sleeves"?

What a handsome couple, and a nice story. Thanks for posting it. As the saying goes "a real day brightener".

“Yeah, they look sharp in those 1920s clothing. It helps to have a 1920s BMI.”

Oh so true. Went to a CW reanactment a few years back.

The number of men 300+ lbs was staggering.

“She never wore anything but a dress”

My grandmother was born in 1902 and died 1984. Always a dress as well and was dressed fit to kill even when when going to the store.

Never saw her in pants.

“Not sure how I feel about a German guy who pines for the good old days of the 1930s. At least I didn’t see any arm bands in the pics.”

You sound like a liberal/leftist.

Anytime people say things were better in the past, say the 50’s, liberals immediately bring up segregation or McCarthyism etc...

[TruthWillWin]

She looks like Lily Tomlin.

One Ringy Dingy, Two Ringy Dingy (then snort).

[Jamestown1630]

Yes, that was a pretty period.

(Isn’t your screen name redundant?)

"You sound like a liberal/leftist...Anytime people say things were better in the past, say the 50’s, liberals immediately bring up segregation or McCarthyism etc..."

To the contrary, you sound like a liberal/leftist: Dour and humorless. I've received one other reply to my remark on this thread, and that person perceived it as the joke it was intended to be.

[Buckeye McFrog]

That looks awesome on her.

Likely my grandmother wore something like that. According to family stories she was a speakeasy party animal back in the day.

This company sells clothing in styles from Victorian thru the 1980s.

“When girls were girls and men were men.” ............... Vot, in Berlin 1920-30’s? I heard that brown suits were popular back then.

[SMARTY]

For sure. At work, the students and faculty compete with one another to see who can come in looking the most dirty and disheveled.

Some don’t even do personal hygiene! Yuk!

[SMARTY]

The ‘30’s are easy to spot... when I try to determine how old a movie is.

What’s the give away? Ugly hats, ugly shoes and really ugly hair styles.

[Albion Wilde]

My earliest childhood memories were of the old people at church still dressing like this. Very dignified. And appropriately binary!

[Buckeye McFrog]

We had a company like that here, Modcloth.
Started by a college student who liked to wear vintage clothing from thrift shops. She started a website where you could at first buy used vintage clothing and then new run clothes with the vintage look.

When she was 26 years old some Bay Area venture capital firm bought the company from her for $7 million!

"To the contrary, you sound like a liberal/leftist: Dour and humorless."

To contrary, your inability to appreciate the vivacity and joie de vivre of this couple without immediately relating them to Nazis reflects your dour and joyless liberal nature.
