Authentic designs from the Sears catalogues of the period, this collection gives an across the board sample of black and white photography, layouts and typography representing the fashions of the day. Entertaining and informative, the collection shows styles such as one-piece strapless bathing suits, nylon underpants, 'Miracle' dresses with plunging necklines, and 'Davy Crockett' outfits for the kids.
A great historical sample of the fashions of the post war generation, and the way in which they were sold. Features stylish fifties dresses, hand painted ties, work gear and uniforms, hand-knits, "fur-like" fabrics, high platforms and heels, jackets, circle-skirts and many more designs of the time.
