Oh, I have a question: did Betty's riding breeches seem period? I mean - were there stretch fabrics then?
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Oh, yes. All knits have stretch and I'm sure riding breeches were made out of some kind of knit material. They just didn't have lycra and the like which allows non-knit fabrics to stretch.

Plus, they are so fanatical about being period, down to the year of the typewriters, I doubt they'd disregard something like the breeches.

To me, it just seems like the switch to stretch breeches was later in the '60s.

Shoooooooooooowshowshowshowshowshow.
Oh my, how I love this tiny little horrible narrow world in the shiny box.
I realized about halfway through that if 14 months have gone by, Peggy's child is exactly the same age as mine. Huh.
Did anyone else catch the featurette after the end? It was mostly pointless, but there was one line in it "Nah, Draper knocked her up" (right after Pete's "fat farm" comment) that must have been cut from the opening conference room scene.
