Vintage Fashion / Haute Couture

When a woman went on holiday in the summer 
during the 1940s, her wardrobe consisted of 
morning, afternoon and evening wear. 
Featured in this film are typical rayon afternoon

Bodices and wide brim hats were everywhere ! 
Of course there's an engagement in the air! 
More tea anyone ?
