Sur la tête

In a previous post I told you about the working girls during the second world war and the use of snoods to keep their hair safe at work but still look glamorous! We recreated these in an array of colours and they are stunning!

So... how are we expanding further on this? Hats, that's how! We have three to start with... all in the 'Lucille' style in different variations, and they're available on our Etsy store of course!

Bon Voyage

I finished creating this beautiful 'Bon Voyage' bag a few days ago and I can't believe it sold within two hours of posting on Etsy!
Many thanks to 'dylsmum' for your purchase!
Due to its swift sale, I will be making some more of these in different variations, so watch this space!
They will available on my Etsy Shop!

Hotsy totsy snoods!

From today you can see Forties Frocks' first snoods available on their Etsy shop.
They are fantastic for that effortless vintage 1940's look.
You don't have to worry about spending hours trying to get the perfect forties curls in your locks, just two rolls or a faux fringe in the front and pin in the snood as shown.
Snoods became popular and essential during the war as women filled the vacancies in factories normally held by men who were called up to fight. The government wanted to deter women from wearing their hair down due to health and safety as they were now operating heavy and dangerous machinery. They even got the silver screen starlets to fashion up-dos, to encourage the working women to be safe at work.
