Heehee. This was an illustration from the 1961 Better Homes and Gardens 'How to Sew Book for Girls' I handed the book to prickvixen because we were talking about pattern stuff. My grandmother bought this book and had given it to my mother, who later gave it to me. For the most part it's useful but written in a terribly condescending tone about how you're supposed to be a good little homemaker and such.
We got off on a discussion about the button sizes and I got to giggling so hard, I thought I'd share it. Of course, I think everyone should wear more giant buttons. I lust for buttons the size of drink coasters! Those would be the most awsome buttons ever. So I swapped the right and wrong tags.
Now, I must say. People speculating on the meanings of the picture made it ALL THE BETTER! I clearly must make more cryptic photoposts. :)
