Story 1: Buying bibs for a girl in the 30s


Today I'm adding a new chapter and tag Stories. This is a more detailed review of scenes, where bibs are not only shown, but talked about it or dealing with (historic) or interesting background. I will also continue normal blogging.

The Waltons, Season 5, ep. 21:
Olivia Walton is buying overalls for her youngest daughter Elizabeth ~ 8-9yo in this season (pictured) at Godsey's store. She's holding them at her body and comparing the size. Elizabeth skipped 2 sizes and grew fast. Corabeth Godsey (wife of Ike) said, that she read in a book about raising girls, that girls should always wear dresses and not coveralls. Olivia said, that they are good for the farm work and bought them.
The German dubbing is a bit different. Corabeth talked about Jungshosen (boys pants) and that Elizabeth is now old enough for wearing dresses. The German subtitles follow the English text and said Latzhosen (bib overalls).
Elizabeth is wearing  jeans with suspenders. Olivia folds the overalls showing also their suspenders.
I think, this is an interesting scene. Elizabeth later played with Aimee, who is adopted by the Godseys and wears dresses.
