Thank you to The Fashion Spot
Wow, that picture of Gene Tierney stands right out, but I want to be the lady with the mirror. Why can’t photo shoots still look like this?
Thanks for those. I remember my mother in styles like these. About half the syles are still wearable today and the other half look too “dressed up” and stiff for comfort. American fashions (the sweat suit, the T shirt) are big on comfort nowadays.
CatM – you can still get a photo shoot like this – you just have to go to the right photographer.
