When you were a little girl, did you love to play dress ups with your Mother's and or other grown up women's fashions and accessories? I did. I would play dress ups with my Mum's treasure trove of fashions and accessories for hours, and I can really identify with this cuter than cute illustration I'm sharing with you today.
My lovely Mum was a deportment and grooming teacher in the 60's and 70's and the illustration is from one of her textbooks from 1964. The illustration is from a section in the book called "Accessories Make the Difference". Here is an excerpt: "Some girls can give a gilt-edged look to the simplest outfit by the way they use accessories. The difference between one girl's shirtdress and another's may hinge on a marvelous belt. Perhaps a handsome bag sets off the whole effect."
In my next post I am going to share my favourite vintage bag with you. It happens to be a bag I used to play dress ups with as a child and my Mum recently gave it to me...

Hi there! I am your partner for the Vintage Swap! I can't wait to get to know you better, I've got a few fun ideas rolling around in my head already!
ReplyDeleteStopping from SITS! Nice point on accessories.
ReplyDeleteHello and happy SITS sharefest day! Hope you're having a fantastic Saturday!
ReplyDeleteYes, playing dress up was a wonderful activity. I have two girls of my own and they are constantly traipsing around all dolled up.
ReplyDeleteOh I loved playing dress up as a kid! I wore Mom's shoes and we'd go garage sale-ing looking for vintage finds.

ReplyDeleteI hope you'll share more of the illustrations and content from her textbooks in future posts! They are right up my alley of collectible interest: beauty books, homemaking manuals, etiquette books, etc., especially for children and teens!
