About “Queen Of Domesticity”

April 26th, 2013

There once was a housewife, not too long ago

Whose husband was oft out, earning the dough

She dresses up daily, from her head to her toes

She always look pretty, she’s just like a rose!

She cooks, washes, irons, and mops

Burning calories in her heels and fifties’ frocks

Be it plain, floral or elegant print

The dresses are gorgeous, rare and mint!

Is she happy, this queen of domesticity?

The lady seems restless in this capacity

The cook, the maid, the mother, the wife

Is it what she dreamed of – this life?

Her home may not always be neat as a pin

The milk spilled, the shirts burning

She’s not perfect, but she tries her best

Hats off to the missus, at least she’s faultlessly dressed!

 

Queen Of Domesticity

Dinner has been planned. She sips tea on the kitchen top in a bright and cheery graphic print 1950′s dress in blue and white.

Adorable 1950′s cluster faux pearl earrings on her ears, and a faux lilac pearl beaded necklace looped twice around her neck.

Well, there’s no use crying over spilled milk!

She mops up the mess in a dark pink 1950’s dress with cut-out accents on the sleeves and pockets.

1950’s dark pink dress with cut-out accents; 1950’s faux-pearl cluster brooch; 1950’s square aurora borealis clip-on earrings.

Immaculately dressed while washing the dishes! Here, the Queen of Domesticity washes the dishes in a lovely and flowery 1950s dress.

Sweet and feminine 1950’s floral print dress with slightly gathered sleeves and bodice; Cream 1950’s Bi-strand beaded necklace.

Uh-oh! We hope she’ll find a way to remove that burn mark!
But never mind that – show off your hourglass figure in this mesmerizing 1950′s graphic print dress!

The tri-strand ombre-tone 1950’s faux pearl necklace adds flair to this 1950’s graphic print dress with an ascot-tie collar.

She’s got a green thumb: Gorgeous blue 1950’s dress with little white embroidered flowers, a pleated skirt, and a sweet little ribbon accent on the bodice.

Spring is in full bloom: She hangs the laundry in this absolutely divine 1950′s dress with vibrant floral blooms. Around her neck, a bright green beaded necklace matches her equally bright green round earrings.

There’s always so much washing to be done!

How’s the lipstick? We love the rows of pretty ribbon prints on this 1950s dress.

A pair of dangling 1950s multi-coloured faux pearl earrings adds oomph to the outfit. On her finger, she wears a brown and cream cameo ring.
