New Look

I've been reading a book about life in Britain post World War II. When you look at Dior's New Look today it's hard to imagine that it had people up in arms about its frivolity and excess. We have no idea about hardship.

Many years ago a friend's Mother gave me some old Vogue patterns so I'm going to get the sewing machine out and "make" (rather than "make do and mend"). These illustrations are amazing.
