Welcome Dapper Day
Sunday April 30th 2017
We had a good turn out
Even though the weather the day before had been extremely hot, Sunday was a little more comfortable. As always, we have a great group meeting together and sharing their time. It is always such fun to ask everyone about their accessories and their clothing. Fiona here is a freelance photographer, so she loves carrying a good camera along with her as an accessory. She also made her fascinator with the ears coordinating with her dress.
Countryside of
Epcot
Couples and families often show up at Dapper Day. We love to
see how they coordinate their looks so that the era they are
portraying is evident in each family member’s clothing. The
accessories enhance the details of their outfits. The men put as
much thought into their accessories as the women do.
This entire family came dressed to represent parts of the Peter Pan story. If you
look closely, you will recognize Peter Pan, Wendy, Captain Hook, Tinkerbell and
some of the lost boys. They were having such fun, we just couldn’t resist getting a
photo of them.
Loren and Karen are our version of 1960’s Pan Am stewardesses. They wanted to look as authentic as
possible, so they found bags and accessories to go with their uniforms. And then Ray and Joanie made
airline tickets and magazine covers with their photos as a surprise to them, so their look was complete.
They looked like they were ready for take-off! It was a great look. And they even had the gestures down to
point travelers to the nearest exits, as if they were giving the safety briefing at the beginning of a flight!
This passenger has his
boarding ticket and is
waiting for the stewardess to
direct him to his seat.
In the 1960’s stewardesses, as they were called then,
had strict requirements to keep their job. They
were to be single, or possibly divorced or widowed,
with no children. They had height and weight
restrictions. In most cases they were only eligible to
remain employed if they were between the ages of
20 and 28. Later, the age was extended to 32 to 35,
depending on the airline. All were required to be
evaluated four times a year to be sure they still met
the height and weight requirements. They were
expected to be groomed in a specific way, and
uniforms were to be pressed and included gloves,
hats and high heels. They were to represent the
airline in the best possible light,whether on duty or
just walking through the airport. Uniforms were
made to emphasize their figures, and during the
1960’s, skirts were shortened and some airlines
even included very short shorts (hot pants) as a
part of the uniform.

We took the center stage again. Thank you all for letting us have a little fun. Everyone is so good to us. Love the look on the girls
faces.
