Whats an outfit you actually wore that you would have gotten a kick out of seeing your brother or husband in?
This is kind of a follow up to the article of clothing you hated the most. I was a tom boy growing up and I remember one Easter having to wear the most frilly yellow Easter dress and petticoat and bonnet. Oh how my twin brother teased me!
Haha! I would have paid dearly to see him have to wear that outfit, but never got the chance!
My grandmother made me one of those frilly dresses with a petticoat. I only wore it a couple times and that was just for my grandmother. I hated it. My brother would call it my sissy dress. It certainly was a sissy dress.
I got my revenge. One year my mother added a white pinafore and dressed my brother as Alice in Wonderland for Halloween. He also wore a long blond wig and a hair bow. He was such a cute Alice. I told him that he looked better in the dress than I did.
None, because back in the ’50s & ’60’s, that thought didn’t enter people’s heads. Men wore men’s clothing & women wore women’s clothing. It was a long time coming, when women would wear slacks or jeans, because that was considered masculine.

Your brother was lucky, I had older sisters so I definitely know what it felt like to wear one of those stupid puffy dresses!
Eveytime I see a peanuts cartoon with Lucy in it, I’m reminded!

I have a sarong shirt with a matching top that has elastic neck-line to wear off the shoulder.
I would find it so funny to see my brother wear this to his annual LUAU.
He did the coconut bra & grass skirt one year, so I know he could pull this look off.

I have never out grown my curiosity of why any male child or man would ever be tempted to wear women’ clothes. I would think that they have a serious mental malfunction. Women wearing slacks and a shirt does not even remotely suggest to me that a women is dressing in a masculine fashion. Perhaps that is from being raised on a farm where practical dressing was acceptable. Rigid ways of thinking in many respects holds our society in check with traditions and I respect tried and true traditions. Is that a facet of conservatism ? Perhaps that is so. Is my masculinity threatened ? I am not bothered with it. It is a subject for the idle mind, I suppose. Mine has never been idle. Would I ever wear a kilt. I have an appreciation for traditional dress and I suppose that I would. Interesting thought. I hope it did not bore you.

My hubby once tried on a pretty night gown of mine years ago. He came into the living room where I was and started dancing. I told him if he ever did that again I would leave him. It was the one and only time. In that area I have no sense of humor. Poppy

Sorry, I like my men to be all men….and would shudder at seeing them in my clothes. Even in fun…no thanks…
