Army wives urged to dress up as Europe eyes on style
In Darmstadt and Nürnberg American army wives faced a push to stop wearing hair curlers and casual attire. Judith Moulton, a model married to a U.S. captain, urged wives to dress more like European women to preserve the image of Americans abroad. A Darmstadt commissary officer announced a dress code excluding halters and rollers, warning that sloppy dress reflects on the U.S. forces. A Stars and Stripes reporter highlighted complaints of overweight and unfashionable attire among dependent wives.
