I remember dressing up as a playtime activity when I was small. Nothing was more thrilling than putting on my mother’s clothes and shoes to become a princess or a grand lady.
Everyone dressed up in the 1950’s. A Sunday-morning-going-to-church outfit for ladies consisted of high heels, stole, gloves and netted hat.
Here are my sweethearts dressing up for Halloween last year. I wonder what they’ll be this year?
The throwback pictures are so cute- they are such keepsakes. I loved the Sunday outfits of long ago. What are net hats ?

They are a hat with a piece of netting that came down over the eyes and nose. They were very popular right before wearing hats went out of fashion.

Oh, oh. I have seen those in old movies. I used to think it was like a veil for women who didn’t want to show their faces.

You could still see faces through it, but the netting made the features a little blurry. They were quite the fashion when I was small, then suddenly, hats went out of fashion in the early/mid 1960’s and everyone stopped wearing gloves and hats to church.
