I bought a couple of books with a zillion images from the Sears catalogs, which combined with the internet and the few period magazines I've invested in, has served me quite well. After all, it's still period images, just reprinted and more easily available!Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762815696807107905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-36558820137759628752013-01-03T06:33:11.647-08:002013-01-03T06:33:11.647-08:00I love that one of the models is Asian (in the red...I love that one of the models is Asian (in the red & white dress)<br /><br />I never used to like 30's, but it's growing on me as an era.

Not only do you see what the real trends and fashions were like but they often told you how they were created and what the people of the time had at their disposal and what was just Hollywood representation of what they had...the movies of today don't really represnet real peoples lives, clothes, bodies and hair.

I too believe that there is nothing quite like studying magazines, books, photos and films from a particular era to truly gain the deepest of knowledge about it. The longer (and more often) one does so, the more they develop that innate ability to look at a vintage piece (be it a garment or whatever type of item interests them) and confidently know when (at least approximately) it dates from, and also how to combine it (if so desired) with other pieces that it would have once partnered with back in the day. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-48191723273039002702013-01-02T19:37:17.082-08:002013-01-02T19:37:17.082-08:00Where do you find such articles?

I love the bit about the hair style at the end..."cut off your tight little curls & wear your hair free and short with a natural (or near natural as possible) wave." All of the drawings are so wonderful. I always feel that 1930's style is more suited for a taller gal than myself, although I haven't tried. <br /><br />xoxo,<br />TinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-91166066983472187222013-01-02T18:54:29.840-08:002013-01-02T18:54:29.840-08:00I concur wholeheartedly!
