CLOTHES STORIES: The dress that made me marry him This Fifties frock, which is very far from my color scheme and not my size, I last wore for my boyfriend’s birthday. We’d just met and what he really wanted to do was have me cook for him. What he didn’t know was that I was phobic about cooking for men, or rather, one man, the man I was dating man. It brought out the feminist in me, which didn’t need much outbringing, being always out, and made me instantly worried about being a domestic drudge. That made no sense, since I love cooking, and think it’s an art, but it was beyond my control. Anyway, I liked him a whole lot, so I said yes, and wore a satirical cookery outfit to get me through: the most authentically 1950s suburban housewife dress I had–this of course–and no shoes. Barefoot in the kitchen. He’s my husband now. –Kate Sekules ps This one you can buy! $45 -- source link
