Always a big moment.

PS Look how neat those women are - and not a pair of Mom jeans in the bunch.

I imagine each wore an uncomfortable girdle

Maybe not.

I don't think they were worn for everyday use among friends; more for if you were going out in public.

I disagree. Mom wore won every day, no matter the occasion. She also recalled how her mother got strapped into a corset each morning.
