1940's fashion - Keeping Well Dressed
Another vintage film clip of 1940's Fashion instruction.
How to be well dressed on a tight budget!
Some of Miss Ratherly Sterns advice for the 1940's dresser
1.A sagging hem or a gaping seam is a sure way to kill glamour !
2.It's not the size of the wardrobe that counts -it's the shape !
3.See that the hemline is even, the slip where it belongs !
4.Make sure the stocking seams are straight.
