1961 – Cute and Irresistible

This babywear from Hanes hasn't changed.

Its safe to say that infant wear from the mid-century is pretty much the same as it is today. This sweet ad from Hanes babywear reminds us that the baby sweetness is universal. Let’s file this one under adorable.

Give them the tender loving wear of Hanes

Hanes Babywear – McCalls May 1961

Of course one thing has changed through the decades. Price (although not as much as you would think). The price quoted for this infant gown is $1.49. A similar item sold in packs of 3 can be found on Amazon for under $15.00.

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
