1961 Maidenform Bra Summer Carriage

Yet another bra ad from the I Dreamed campaign

1961 Maidenform Bra Ad – I dreamed I had a stylish carriage

This ad for Maidenform was part of their long-running “I Dreamed” ad campaign. The tagline for this September 1961 McCalls ad was “I dreamed I had a stylish carriage in my Maidenform bra”. It was an interesting approach to reach the all important mid-century undergarment market by capturing the imagination of the reader. Here are a few more “I dreamed” ads found in my collection.

About Janet

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's
