Alison found this great needlework magazine from 1929,
The Needlewoman. It has a fantastic cover with great colors. I love it. Plus, inside, there are some terrific short articles.
The colors are great and the table setting - I just wish my table was set this pretty. No chance with 2 boys. It would be the end of their world if I set the table to look this girly.
"Added" Hair and Pantalettes Again.
The picture of the gown on the right is a stunning example of formal wear of the time. From the bottom right: Make sure you find the right hair dresser. It's okay to be seen at the new-fangled hair salon. Other women are getting their hair styled, too.
Who wouldn't want to be seen in any of these gown?

We do not have the full magazine, but it is fun and interesting to see what type of ads were around in the 1920s and 1930s. It's fun to see how styles have changed - bigger hair, more skin visible. And, imagine going to the hair salon in secret, so no one would know that you were getting your hair cut, colored and styled. Imagine not hearing the noise and chatter going on around you as your were at the salon. It's impossible, isn't it?
