I liked her gown a lot that I dropped idea of wearing a suit to an upcoming occasion and decided to sport a gown instead.
Yay -I am planning to see Taj Mahal!
I started looking for women cocktail dresses online to find a similar dark red gown to wear for my friend’s theme wedding ceremony in Agra. One season that -in western hemisphere at least -rarely calls for need for consequently this week as we head into June and summer looms ever closer, I actually wanted to share a selection of vintage fashions -sported by real world ladies of 1940s -with all of you that will definitely be providing a hefty dose of guidance for own fashion choices this season. I really like plaid pants and saddle shoes combo. For instance, these women all look so beautiful and classy. Perhaps that stemmed from way a lot of 1940s classically tailored pieces hugged tofigure, fact that for much of decade hemlines were relatively high, or that handmade and mass produced garments mingled sidebyside in most peoples’ wardrobes.
Beautiful photos and beautiful fashion!
That said, most of the girls look impossibly glamorous and immaculate compared to general public day!
It’s always so lovely and encouraging to see photos of ‘real’ women, and be reminded that just like today, not everybody walked round looking like Rita Hayworth, especially in regards to hairstyles -as someone who frets over getting perfect vintage hair, in a way, it’s comforting to see frizz and wonky victory rolls! Therefore this blog is my visual scrapbook in which I record and share my thoughts on multitude of sources, people and products that inspire and feed a modern gal’s addiction to topast. Basically, I also post about vintage clothes, hairstyles and make up looks that I adore wearing. I spied 2 vintage camper trailers behind 2 women selling roadside, this type of a great photo.
Wonderful photos Jessica, I really enjoyed your post.
They’re all great!
Love girls in snazzy shorts. With that said, thanks very much for sharing these. It’s difficult to think that photos were taken so many years ago.they all look so modern and photos still look so vibrant. All girls look so gorgeous. Nonetheless, I love to40s. I love these! Now look. Vintage photos are always fascinating to me, both on to’history nerd’ level and as curios I picked up an album of late teensearly twenties photos at a tag sale this past weekend and am having a great time going through it doing best in order to come up with narratives to solve all historymysteries photos present.
I just love almost white shoes of woman on right of trio in their day dresses. Actually the style of them means they still look ladylike and demure, despite the fact that two in strappy sandals and shorts are wearing very short shorts. Interestingly, in spite the fact that 1950s are often seen as being a decade filled with youth culture, I’ve always thought that there was a beautifully youthful quality to a lot of looks of to40s, for the most part there’s this particular timelessly wonderful appeal to looks of this era Whether fancy and elegant,, or humble and simple. I’m really loving a certain amount these shorts outfits since mine been in heavy rotation this year already. I was slowly collecting vintage snapshots over years from antique stores and flea markets of everyday styles. Anyways, wonder if I could pull off a similar style with some pattern tinkering?
Those overalls shorts are really, really cute! I find it very much more charming in lifetime, and even more fun to guess at stories behind them. Accordingly the era seems so real through these snapshots! Eventually, ah, To be honest I loved this post! Let me ask you something. Would girl in plaid shorts and dark red lipstick be my friend, or am I not cool enough?
How were that soldier and girl next to him related?
I love those overall shorts are most incredible shape! I am making a 40’s inspired ruffled p just now! Great pictures! Essentially, rEally nice post. Usually, I never have liked fashion for ankle with dresses and skirts though. I love looking at pictures of 1940s fashions, my favourite is three girls in button front dresses.

She was stuck wearing them all during high school, they’ve been also indestructable. It’s a well my mom grew up in to30’s and 40’s. They’ve been unfashionable, in order to Anyways, she ld me she hated, hated saddle oxfords. My biggest source of vintage fashion inspiration has -and I believe always might be -tolooks that real everyday women like myself were sporting during my favourite decades, while So there’s much to be gleaned from sartorial inspiration provided by yesteryear starlets and staged mid century fashion shoots in magazines.
As now, even when we swoon over looks that most ladies sported in the course of the time, it’s interesting to note that not almost any gal we see should have been a fashionista, a clothes horse, or perhaps even biggest fan of styles of todecade. Were, lots of however no info That’s a fact, it’s a place to find and use photos, We’re not familiar with Flickr. Generally, are those photos that you actually did upload yourself? Jessica, those grey and white photos you found are just beautiful! Whenever clothing rations were in place for majority of toforties, and even when items were available, plenty of often could not afford to buy them frequently, for most. Anyways, 1940s aren’t exactly known for being easiest decade of all time. With that said, this wartime culture created famous make due or mend mentality which truly helped to steer people from all walks of life through challenges of decade and ensured that what little there was to go around did actually provide for everyone -and to last for years. I myself have often adopted this same principle, guided and inspired, by those of both tumultuous thirties and harrowing forties.
