It’s the “I’m too sick to prosecute” look.
Perhaps there should be a nationwide campaign to send her “used or second-hand” dusters to enhance her wardrobe.
My Mother, Grandmother, Aunt and many Female neighbors in Miami, Dade, Florida (1940-1950+). I was born 1935 and although I was a young’n then, I remember having to pulling the stitching out of the seams in the sacks. I also remember the chicken feed was used for the chickens, turkeys, ducks and rabbits, we raised to eat. Meat was rationed during WW2.
Your area must have been better off, where you were.
S. Florida in WW2 was a military area. Even the hotels on the beach were housing military.

I can’t really say,but I do remember the rationing,of almost everything,not just meat-—and the air raid drills,in school, and during the night at home,are seared into my mind. I hated the blackouts and the air raid warden prowling the street looking for cracks of light during the drills..
We are all so lucky today.

May-pop tires and tire’tube patches were the rage?
By the way, My Grandmother, of German parents, Pa; only wore White dresses. After the war she was able to get War Surplus Parachutes and until her death she made her dresses, out them.

Sorry, Folks. Double post.
I had 3 aunts that were year-round residents of Martha’s Vineyard.
Much military training took place there during WWII——and an aunt did get hold of a parachute to make a prom dress for a cousin.
My aunt and your grandmother probably had a lot in common.

My brothers and other neighbor boys got to play around these PT Boats and the ones further up the Miami River.
The John Wayne Movie”they were Expendable” was made in Crandon Park area(Key Biscayne). The end of the movie’s last scenes showed the Cape Florida Lighthouse.
We also played in the junk pile of crashed planes that were being shipped(by barge) north to be remelted. B-17s were neat.
Stay safe and have a nice night.
My Secretary of War(wife) has some Honeydews for me.
