People used to have two basic set of clothes............everyday, and "Sunday go to meet'n" clothes. For men and boys, that meant coveralls during the week and dress-up type clothes for church. For women and girls, it meant stylish clothes and hats
(see photo). Church was a time for your best lending credibility to the notion that one was presenting God their best. Good idea. People were very protective of their dress clothes because in many cases, they had only one pair or set of them. Girls usually wore lots of light colors while men tended to wear darker colors especially black. There was no such thing as a dry cleaning business then, so people guarded against harming their dress clothes.
