Tales from the Morgue: Vintage fashion ads from the Arizona Daily Star
- Updated
Old fashion advertisements are a fun way to see how women dressed years ago. While the prices are eye-popping, one must remember people didn't make as much then.
Steinfeld's advertises playsuits, a one-piece shorts and top with a button-front skirt to put on over the shorts. However, anyone who responded to this ad that ran July 2, 1957, and went to buy the playsuit, might have kicked themselves two days later when Penney's offered a much better price. We can't vouch for the quality of either item in 2017, however.
