There is a museum in the old Vicksburg Courthouse that I love. One big room has clothes from the civil war... dresses and uniforms and children's clothes. One thing that really strikes you is how
small all of the clothing was. Even the men's uniforms look like they would only fit young teen boys these days. People were certainly a
lot smaller then. Probably indicative of the food content and supply available.

We watched the movie "Hoosiers" the other night, which took place in the late 50's, I think. I was really impressed with the cheerleaders' uniforms. They all wore big sweaters, skirts down to their calves, and saddle shoes. The were covered and still could cheer! Thanks to the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, all the colleges and schools now barely dress their cheerleaders at all. It's a total skin show, nothing to do with the team or school spirit.
