    I just want to thank you for posting these. These catalogs are priceless to show us what was stylish back then. Also, I use them as inspiration for when I purchase something to make sure the style is appropriate for what I'm wearing. That one with the snoods and hair flowers is Great! I've seen some headband snoods like that on ebay and stuff, but didn't have any pics to show them as being authentic. They are! Thanks so much!

    You are very welcome!

    I was taken by the glasses page myself. I dont wear contacts, so seeing the rimless frames and how a pair I have are fairly close in shape, made me feel I was on the right track!
