Witches have come a long way since Salem. As the 20th Century arrived, dressing up as a witch was becoming fashionable and even glamourous.This is an interesting photo timeline beginning with two amazingly gothic looking women from way back in 1900. Many of these images found from Sexy Witch , a blog dedicated to witches in film, art and fiction.Well worth a visit and extremely informative.

Hi Doll,
ReplyDeleteI have to say that you totally amaze me with all these pics and all the information you have on the 40's 50's etc...you should teach a class!
Thank you so much for making it easy for me to escape the 21st Century drama and travel back in time - to a time when fashion was for every day. Not just church, weddings and funerals.
I refer vintage dolls to you all the time.
Kisses,
JennyMay

"Bell, Book, and Candle" is one of my all-time favorite movies! Kim Novak's wardrobe is divine.
