Fat Betty makes only one brief (but highly satisfying) appearance on last night’s Mad Men, when she discovers her mother-in-law Pauline passed out in a Seconal–induced stupor next to a half-eaten box of crackers on the living room sofa. (What goes around comes around, Pauline!) Rest assured, Betty shows no signs of slimming down and wears an impressive napkin of a dress with pearls and white gloves. Meanwhile, Joan’s husband, Greg, returns home from Vietnam, giving Joan a great excuse to parade around in bosomy dresses and Joan’s mom an occasion to bust out her pink, lacy fascinator. Meanwhile, new hire Ginsberg experiments with seersucker, Peggy gets drunk while wearing a beige tie, and Sally looks adorable as usual. See all the episode’s best looks in our fashion recap.

Peggy's tie! In addition to getting embarrassingly drunk during this episode, Peggy wears a regrettable pea-soup-colored skirtsuit and matching kitten heels. In other news, she's been flirting with various iterations of neckwear this season, but this tie goes to a whole new level.

Gail's fascinator After slaving away in Joan's apartment for weeks, Gail finally gets to gussy herself up. Given the result (a pink, lacy fascinator!), this should really happen more often.

Joan's dinner-with-the-parents getup Some women might think twice about showing ample cleavage — and accenting it with a diamond brooch — while out with their in-laws. Joan is not one of them.

Pauline's terrifying nightie The only thing scarier than a knife-wielding, cracker-munching, Seconal–pushing Pauline is what would happen if that overburdened button on her nightdress comes flying off.
Sally's adorable nightie It's only fitting that Sally looks this cute during her first pill-popping experience.
Peggy's hungover outfit That Peggy was still able to match her pajama set while totally shitfaced speaks volumes about her character.

Fat Betty's devastatingly brief appearance Although fat Betty only makes a single appearance, she does her best to make up for it with a nice grandma mix of pearls, white gloves, and floral smocking.
