Summer Fashion 1945!

It may still be snowing at your house, but we can all look forward to summer. The Montgomery Ward Spring/Summer Catalog for 1945 has some suggestions. What's your favorite? 





Tailor Maid - 1945 Fashion Model's 5 Way Suit

In The American Magazine, March 1945, we have Wendy Russell New York "top-flight fashion model and styling adviser to half a dozen manufactures" wearing a suit that "does duty for five costumes". Her "hat happened to cost a dollar, and her jewelry came from a junk shop."
This gave her panche, which freely translated, means "Put your hat over your right eye."
It doesn't hurt she is "standing  before a Vertes screen"!
