(11,304 posts)going to the Airport in NYC (I think it was in the city). We stayed over night at a hotel. We were going to Germany. My dad was being transferred. Anyway my parents wouldn't have thought of dressing us in jeans or flip flops. Me and my twin sister wore a Cotton dress with a jacket to match. She wore pink and I wore blue. We had to wear nylons and yes even girdles. We had white handbags and white shoes that matched. No make up. My dad wouldn't allow us to wear makeup. Back then that was how you traveled. Sometimes it would be nice if parents made their kids dress properly. You can wear a nice sun dress that isn't short or low cut and a pair of nice sandles and still be comfortable.
Why did you only tell mom not to do this. Where is daddy's responsibility. My father was the one who said what we could wear. But I and my sisters were never the type to wear lowcut outfits or short dresses.
