We shopped at a suburban B. Altman. The typical Saleslady in the late 1950s, early 1960s, was instructed on appropriate dress and make up as part of their training. There were some fairly strict boundaries in those days. I haven't been in a Bloomingdales in a long time, but I seem to remember their Sales People only wearing black. I wonder if they still enforce that? It would be easy to dress for work, but how depressing it would be to only wear black to work for months at a time.
