Grandmother's Choice - Block no. 12 - Little Boys Breeches - Dress Reform

Hand Pieced

My grandmother never wore pants...never.  In the first 2 decades of my life, pants were not allowed in school or church or any kind of social events.  I did wear pants and shorts and what we called peddle pushers for play.  So different today.  I don't think I've worn a skirt for a long time.  Can you imagine being confined in movement with a skirt all day.

Grandma, as I said, never wore anything but a dress.  She cleaned in a dress, did laundry in a dress, sewed in a dress, knit in a dress, shopped in a dress, went for walks in a dress, killed chickens in a dress...the list goes on.  We have come a long way...but don't we still wear high heals?   I stopped wearing them and my feet and whole body are the better for it.
