I love the skirts and the plaid dresses. <br />Oh yes, and I was quite excited to see the fact that the boots were made with Goodyear-Welt construction. My dad works for Goodyear! :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605260686118464640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346960377543157190.post-44128832328514868392011-09-09T12:31:15.384-04:002011-09-09T12:31:15.384-04:00I am such a FAN of FASHION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be so perfect for fall into winter...<br />Thank you so much for sharing!<br />BTW, Google books has 1940 Life Magazine issues online. They are really neat to look through, especially as they did features sometimes on celebrities of the era.ElsieZyelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01833728070798851057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346960377543157190.post-82912061426910401672011-09-09T08:55:44.657-04:002011-09-09T08:55:44.657-04:00What a fantastic find!

I particularly liked the fabric samples.

Thank you so much for sharing these--they're all so neat to look at. Won't complain if you post more! ;)Caseyhttp://elegantmusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346960377543157190.post-40834856758628664382011-09-08T13:35:59.482-04:002011-09-08T13:35:59.482-04:00QUOTE: "I never imagined them wearing these b...QUOTE: "I never imagined them wearing these bright colors. Don't know why."<br /><br />LOL, for me, it's because movies and pictures from that time are all in black-and-white, so I tend to think of that era as "shades of grey"! These colorized pictures are quite the revelation.<br /><br />My favorite items are:<br />* Coat "F" in the first picture. I wish they still made Winter coats like that...and for that price!<br />* The plaid/tartan dress on the dress-and-jackets page. I love tartan!<br />* Blouses: The rainbow-striped one (so cheery!), the greenish one with ruffles down the front, and the pink one with the "flattering jabot." So feminine! Again, why can't they make stuff like this nowadays??<br />* BOOTS! Tall boots! I think I'm in love!!!<br /><br />Could we see more dresses and jewelry/accessories, please?<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!<br />God bless,<br />~"Wild Rose"~TomWildRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914330705701940882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346960377543157190.post-3821876523124698072011-09-08T12:22:30.881-04:002011-09-08T12:22:30.881-04:00Goodness, these are wonderful!

What a marvellous treasure you have here. And I too love the colours! I think people tend to think of 30s/40s fashion having lots of ditsy prints etc. but it was mostly bold colours and big patterns!faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04821807823826706886noreply@blogger.com
