So, on this same note...do you remember the first spray starches? I remember ironing my husband's shirts and it looked like a bad case of dandruff had attacked them. Tons of white flakes that had to be brushed off.
Boy, was I thrilled when perma press was invented. Today, I don't buy anything that has to be ironed. Hated to iron his work shirts every week. I loved how he looked in his freshly starched and iron shirts with a coat and tie though. Wish he was still here with me, I'd gladly iron for him. :-(
