We've talked a lot about Lucy's wonderful outfits, but I am interested in Ethel's attire also. It seems Lucy and Ethel have a set of "housedresses," dresses for outings and meetings, and formal wear.

I like how many of Ethel's housedresses have geometric designs around the collar or yoke. Here are some of her most memorable ones:

Oh wow, never noticed that, i guess you're right, these don't look so dowdy after all, she looks fine in these.

And she always said she only had "one" dress.

I never could get the arrows design dress.

I like the dark one with the arrows the best.

A friend of mine sewed her own version of that dress and wore it to a Lucy convention!

That might be her most well-known dress because it is so unusual. She wore the one in the first picture a lot during the first two seasons, but it wasn't quite as memorable as the "arrow dress."

^ It seems dresser than the others and she really looks good in it.

In the lower right hand corner? Are those arrows? I can't tell.

I like the design of the arrows dress I just don't like the arrows.

I was referring to the one on the lower left where she's standing in front of the open door. I like the neckline and the whole style of that dress.

Here's another one of Ethel's geometric dresses I saw on Cuban Pals. I wonder if this dress is ever worn again.
