The matronly woman cared for the sick orphan.

c. 1977, Janeane Garofalo, a skit
the matronly upper arms girls know about life and love and losing

The mother dressed matronly, in a bonnet and in black, always sat between her two big daughters, firm, directing, and repressed.

She was the same height and weight as Mother and had the same hairdo and dressed matronly like her. It was scary. She looked so much like Mother.

“I had to dress matronly to get the position. I've had trouble with that before. I have actually been turned away for a position as stewardess because I was too pretty.”
