So many cute details! The manicure, the seamed stockings, the "gay pink snood", names like "Doris" and "Gladys" ...

(Sorry if this has been posted somewhere already ...)

I haven't seen it before - sweet!

I am amazed at the versatility of Bemberg rayon! Actually, I really am impressed by what sort of fabrics can be made from rayon - I didn't know you could have a rayon chiffon.

That was wonderful!!! I want a froufrou organdy collar and bow! LOL!
I want a snood with a bow on top too!

I also watched the 1917 one, that was awesome. Did you see how she had her feet stuffed in the first pair of shoes? Perhaps they're feet were not so small afterall, ha! I love the stockings and have a pair of vintage shoes almost exactly like the second pair. I have a nice pair of black stockings, I'll have to dig them out for pics.

Back when American Movie Classics showed classic movies with no commercials, they'd show the old newsreels with fashion shows & I would tape them. I so wish I hadn't taped over them.
