I actually dressed up cowboy style for a flight to visit grandparents farm. I had the Vigilante double holster set with boots, spurs, hat, chaps etc. that my dad had just brought back from a business trip to Tucson. Hey, I was six and thought it was cool. We touched down in Cleveland in quite a breeze. Hat flew off as I came out onto the air stairs and got hung up on the nose gear after nearly getting stuck on the port inner prop, mechanics and UAL ground staff running after it.
And yes, my mom had one of those hard case three level beauty cases on board. Wouldn't surprise me if it is still buried in the basement someplace.
At 5'2" my mother also had short legs and I can say she was domestic
