That story is there, too, but I did not make that mental link... :D It's because she relied on hotel irons and there was no electricity that day, the book says.<br />Maybe back in those days all people relied on hotel irons?<br />And I guess when you pack, your clothes will ALWAYS need some ironing. The difference is in different people's level of conscience about it... Considering nowadays many people don't even iron, I'd say nowadays the level of conscience is much lower than in the 50s - and nowadays we wear much more knits that usually need less ironing than wovens.<br />And even then, that level of conscience nowadays differs between people and situations. I don't mind wearing rather crumpled clothes when travelling, but I shudder at the memory of having to wear crumpled clothes straight from the dryer in the USA... Tumble-dried clothes need ironing much more than line-dried, in my opinion, but people who have tumble dryers are usually those who won't bother ironing either...<br />This is almost beginning to sound like an individual post.<br /><br />I mostly found the article interesting in the choice of clothes, though. That sort of double-service thing. I like the idea of double-service clothes, so I like seeing ideas about it.Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-10886536256082205692011-06-24T03:37:08.842+02:002011-06-24T03:37:08.842+02:00Cute!

The page on how to pack is funny and ironic though - I remember reading a biography of Grace Kelly, and they told the story of her meeting Rainer for the first time, and she almost didn't go to the photoshoot because all her clothes were rumpled from travelling, and the only one that wasn't was the dress she wore, but she considered it a very 'unphotogenic' dress.The Dreamstresshttp://thedreamstress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-48900069001696996932011-06-22T11:15:08.335+02:002011-06-22T11:15:08.335+02:00Germany was back in 2004, back in those days when ...Germany was back in 2004, back in those days when I still spoke German... and yes, it was nice, especially because I was staying with a nice family.Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-10359718907966181592011-06-18T15:11:59.095+02:002011-06-18T15:11:59.095+02:00oh how I wish people still dressed like that! look...oh how I wish people still dressed like that! looks like you had a great time in Germany.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934973314360291318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569751889486479823.post-63269568646159374312011-06-14T03:31:21.465+02:002011-06-14T03:31:21.465+02:00I thought I had commented already!
