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!

Another 'Bon Voyage'...

I promised you another bag and here it is!
Handmade from the same materials as the previously sold 'Bon Voyage' bag but in it's own unique shape. You won't find another like it!
Perfect with vintage or faux-vintage fashion, and todays fashion!
Don't miss out! Snap it up here!

Ciaou for now darlings!

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.

What are you waiting for? Take a look!

Flapperdashery

Flapperdashery has the most amazing Etsy shop!

I came across it a couple of days ago through a link in one of the forums at Etsy.

My favourite item that she has to offer is one of her 'Flapper Art Mannequins' (featured left).

Over 450 painted Flapper Art Mannequins have been painted and sold all over the world!

Each mannequin is painted by hand and each one unique, so you know your mannequin will be the only one of its kind in the world!

So go see for yourself, on Etsy, and drop by her Myspace for videos, pictures, music and all things flapper!
