Photo of the day

Bobby Sox Brigade: 1942 – July 1942. “East Montpelier, Vermont. Marilyn Ormsbee, in striped dress is president of her 4-H Club, the Montpelier Center Girls, where she learns how to sew and cook economically and well.” Medium format negative by Fritz Henle for the Office of War Information.

Back in the days, when young ladies dressed like modest young ladies and not like two-bit sluts; like most young women dress today.
