Why the 50s

[Coco]

The Edwardian House, a miniseries about a modern family transported back to life in 1900 complete with the clothing, "modern" conveniences, foods, and everything, showed an upper-middle-class family who had more than most, and it was still hard work! A couple days to wash and press clothes, many hours for the wife of the house to clean and scrub floors, even with a maid, just so much work.

yes that was so interesting! We watched it (the 1900 house one) for part of school. They also did one like that for pioneer days, called Texas Ranch House, except the women started wearing corsets and pantaloons without the suffocating dresses. :lol:
