Real 40s clothing

[frualeydis]

The only upside of the moth disaster is that I got to take up and unpack my 1940s clothes: a dress in rayon crepe, two similar suits in hand woven Harris tweed and a pair of shorts. I had two more dresses, but I gave them away (I sort of regret that now, but I couldn't wear them anyway) and I also have two coats, of which I fit into one.

Anyway, since Valeria was home from school I put curlers in her hair and "forced" her to pose.

The dress:

Those clothes look stunning on Valeria. You must be so proud to have three such lovely daughters.

I have plans, but she wasn't here then. And she's much harder to persuade to do these kinds of things.

Woah. She's like a screen siren! Lovely! I also really like how the outfits bring out really different personalities.
