1950s
A stuffed rag sack flips upside down at the foot of a flight of steps and pours sawdust all over the ground. The bag hangs in mid air, then fades out to be replaced by a woman dressed in a loose fitting dress and high heels. Close up of a woman’s legs with rope around her dress at the knees. A woman in a dress with tight knees sits down in a chair. She dances, spinning so that the dress puffs outward in a circle. A woman wears a polka dot dress with a puff ball skirt. An older woman admires herself in the mirror wearing a loose dress tied at the knees. A ‘rag picker’ passes carrying a large sack. Women look on as a woman wearing a sack like dress walks a small dog.
