I have to keep my husbands shirts ironed for work. He has over 75 Hawaiian shirts ! Not because they are required, he just likes them. I just do not understand wearing stuff that is wrinkly. Looks so unkempt. I guess I am just old fashioned.
Pants stretchers reminded me of something else from those old days. Anyone remember curtain stretchers? When you finished putting the curtains on them your fingers were really sore. But boy did those lace curtains look good and stayed that way for quite a long time.
