'I'm wearing 14 different outfits' (I've Got a Secret 11/30/60, 1 of 3)

Renee Williamson of Conway(?), South Carolina, is a student at Limestone College in Gaffney.

[@cwayzums]

I wish we saw this in color just so we can appreciate the dress(es) even more. Very creative!

[@2TMarie]

Great sewing skills & imagination!

[@icturner23]

That was a lot better than I expected. They all looked really good, and I’m amazed she could sew the lot in only two weeks even after the planning.

[@kimberlysharpe5184]

Alot of women made their own clothes back then. Was probably very easy for her.

[@barrymiller99]

Such a lovely, talented, poised young woman who must now be 80-years old. Bless her.

[@shelleynobleart]

Beautiful woman and each outfit was excellent.

[@jonathonedwards2108]

She was a little ahead of her time - Project Runway contestant she could have been.

[@kenthuang436]

Or Rupaul’s Drag Race. She’d definitely win the challenge if it was to design an outfit that had reveals to it.

[@leannsherman6723]

Fantastic! Even the music was perfect.

[@leesher1845]

Pretty racy for those days. That woman wasn’t shy either. The piano accompaniment was spot-on, too.

[@danhatcher6413]

Best Dressed Award!

[@mrsTraveller64]

Back then, when people were naturally beautiful, naturally funny, and naturally well-behaved.

[@JohnSmith-zw8vp]

On TV maybe but in real life, not so much.

[@mrsTraveller64]

@@JohnSmith-zw8vp at least we never saw anyone wih duck-lips....people were either beautiful or ordinary. Nowadays ordinary people (and many beautiful ones too sadly) make themself look "beautiful" and we know the results...one poor example is Marie O. born so beautiful but look what she did to her face, starting from her teeth.. she can' even laugh naturally anymore, she can only streach her mouth but her face is not laughing. Sad,sad,sad. This happens when you try too much.

[@maureentuohy9423]

I remember this series from when when I was a child. Isn’t it crazy how ubiquitous smoking was back then!!!

[@Lunzatis_Palemoon]

To be fair, there hadn't really been any studies done on the short and long term effects of smoking at that time, and people had been smoking for nearly 500 years so it wasn't something people really thought about or considered. It was only after the research and studies were done that smoking was seen as a bad thing and that didn't really happen until the 80's and 90's when I was a kid.

[@trainliker100]

In early I Love Lucy shows both Lucy and Desi smoked. And in the very earliest Father Knows Best, "Jim Anderson" smoked. But people generally DID know that it wasn't actually good for you. "Smoker's Cough" was a regular morning malady for many. And many women quit smoking while pregnant knowing that it wasn't good for the fetus.

[@mshockey73]

That was impressive!!

[@patbest7057]

The Kim K of today can't compete with this lovely lady She showed poise charm sophistication Kim K and others lack today

[@AliceInWonderland999.8]

ewww why do you even mention that trash! Also Kim K is SHORT! 5’1 and full of plastic

[@sicidamara7061]

How the heck could she put that back together after taking it off. It's like a clothing puzzle

[@ceilingunlimited2430]

Stunner in any time period. 7:31 ooh-laa-laa!!

[@pegatheetoo1437]

The complete outfit must have weighed a ton!

[@joanneaugust6611]

That depends on the kind of fabrics she used. Polyester was introduced around that time, that would be much lighter than cotton. Viscose had been around for some 80 years, and some viscose fabrics are very lightweight too.

[@emmadayseymour953]

Wow! What a beautiful day talented cousin I have!❤️😘🎂

[@helenamirian908]

14 outfits and they're all dresses! Except the picnic outfit and swimsuit which still has seamed stockings under it 🤣

She was talented, poised. beautiful! Wonder what became of her?

[@footofjuniper8212]

I looked her up. As of 2010, she was listed as a contributing alumnus of Limestone College. Her married name is Godwin. Her parents were Cleo Clyde Williamson (1912-1972) and Villon Todd Williamson Burroughs (1917-2007). Her sister was/is Robin Williamson Scola Edwards.

[@patriciamartinez5836]

Great idea

[@nordvegfigg7746]

In a prefect world Betsy Palmer would have done this segment.

[@deniserichardson630]

Wow ,why are these not available today ? Did they have Velcro then ?

[@ThreeCatsInTheWindow]

Denise Richardson snaps

[@janeiwasduncan8463]

Yes! They had Velcro on 1960!

[@censusgary]

Velcro was patented in Switzerland in 1955, but I don’t remember seeing it in America before the 1970s. I don’t think she used Velcro on this collection, because of the date and because I didn’t hear that “rrrip” sound of Velcro being unfastened. I didn’t see zippers being opened, either. The attachments must have been done with hooks or snaps, or both.

[@sueheather5203]

Velcro is dangerous to fine fabrics.

[@AliceInWonderland999.8]

she did not design and make it herself

[@garyfrancis6193]

Uh…did anyone notice she had a pretty good figure? That was “ normal” then and no tatoos.

[@ronskokandich1002]

All the panel smiles when introduced except the stiff Morgan ! What an ingrate

[@litealiteg.2109]

[@chaplainmattsanders4884]

Crazy that he has to smoke to promote the product! Crazy!!

[@censusgary]

Cigarette advertising funded a lot of early television, and smoking killed many early TV presenters. Garry Moore, seen here, had throat cancer, and later died of emphysema. Bill Cullen and Henry Morgan, two of this show’s four panelists, both died of lung cancer. So did Edward R. Murrow, the king of 1950s television.

[@holylandfan3275]

It was to make the cig companies rich and for depopulation so people would die early. That's why they started MANY advertising campaigns for women to smoke, as well. Virginia Slims, etc. Early death means less people in the world to use the resources, plus more money for the cig companies. Truth.

[@holylandfan3275]

Besides the above I just mentioned, it also makes the doctors and medical companies rich to have ill patients from the results of smoking.

[@censusgary]

@@holylandfan3275 I’m not sure it makes doctors and hospitals richer to have people smoking. True, the smokers are sicker, but they also don’t live as long, so they won’t pay bills for as many years. Killing your customers is generally not a good business strategy.
