Hello,
Reality check here. It was a tv program so you have the ability to suspend reality.
Sort of like when the good guy gets shot in the arm but manages to still kick the bad guy's butt.

June Cleaver Dress

Because it was Hollywood's idea of what a perfect puppet of a wife for every american male should be like. I thank God my parents especially my mother say it for what it was really for. It is funny to watch as we never really seeing her cleaning the house. Oh she may pull out a tray of fake chocolate cookies out of her fake oven or lightly dray a clothe over something and that rag was always clean. I was a little kid at the time that show was on and I remember asking my parents why these people were lying to other people about how they acted.
I know to many other moms during that time sure didn't dress like or act like June Cleaver. When I decide to dust or whatever just give me my old sweats and a t-shirt or a tank top and I am good to go and I still manage without the fancy clothes to clean my home.
Oh, Hollywood in the long run you lost this one!!!

Back in the 50s, there was a pamphlet given to teenage girls about wifely duties. One of the things was to be dressed nicely for your husband when he came home. Sorry, I don't remember enough key words to find a link to it on the internet.

People would dress nicely in those days. To go on a plane or downtown shopping women would wear gloves and a hat. It was a sign of respect for those around one.

She was portraying an ignorant stereotype set in the 1950s.

It's TV. But, also, times have changed. Housewives in the 1950's and such dressed differently than women today.

The larger more better question is, what does she wear upstairs in the bedroom? Do you know she is still alive? She is about 92 now. Good for her
