They ate casseroles. Do people still bake these? Dishes prepared with the help of Betty Crocker and pulled from the oven in cocktail attire, protected by a cute apron. A young married woman could fit into her wedding dress despite childbirth thanks to the right under garments and exercises still used in retirement rec centers. For Midge Maisel, she upheld her role chirpily until her weak husband propelled their technicolor life into a film noir. Midge’s style, with its color and classicism, takes us back to the elegance of a mannered period.

Daily routines were an occasion to dress for, not harried errands performed in workout wear. Quality pieces decorated the home. Accessorizing carried into all facets of living. Midge Maisel is a gifted style influencer and her look still holds.
