I love the last one.
You can imagine the fun I had trying on her clothes - unbeknownst to her!
She really is a beauty.
Love the first one! Show off those legs :o) What an awesome collection you have!
Love all your old photos here and below!
fjl,kath and kenju: Thank you. I just wish I could present them better. I can edit them in Picasso but they seem to lose the improvements when I transfer them to dashboard.
And when I try to insert copy all hell is let looose!
Ah, yes - women had style then. Well, some of them anyway. For sure they knew how to make the best of themselves - an elegance that's vanished, I think.
You are so fortunate to have such a wonderful piece of family history at your finger tips...and we are so lucky that you're sharing it!
Va va voom. Very stylish, elegant. Beautiful. I think Nick has a point there.
She looks beautiful. I love that nipped in waist look women wore then. Women of that era always seemed to have the most perfect hair-dos too. I don't know how they did it.
Great photos, and the ones below too.
Nick and GG: Life is much simpler now. You can cover up hairy legs with trousers, you don't have to contort your body to check your seams are straight and you don't have to suffer the dreaded roll-on
which contained one's derriere. God forbid there should be a hint of a wobble. But of course you are right.
tai; Thanks - it makes the agony I go through trying to get them in the right place - and usually failing - worthwhile
Sam: In the fifties when I was modelling - although thin as a rake -I wore a 'waspie' which clinches the waist - but gives you bags under the eyes. As for the hair - I'm afraid we washed it once a week, so it had time to settle down. Different culture!
Ah yes, that's true, life is simpler when it comes to dressing...thank goodness for trousers some days :-D
