Hats - By And For Americans - 1947 - She Magazine

<B>So many hats...all from this 1947 She Magazine. Make no mistake these are American women wearing American designers. "The styles on the following pages, all whipped up on this side of the Atlantic, clearly prove that American designers cook up as delectable concoctions as the Paris milliners."<p>"Spring advocates more hat and less foolish-ness." </B><p> <a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-7-1.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-7-1.jpg" width="400"></a><br>"Cover Story - Synonymous with Easter...the soft navy suit illustrated on cover. Tenderly tailored to emphasize the feminine curves of your figure, it is collared with demure scallops. A Swansdown suit about $50. B.

They are pretty as American women are pretty. Their clean cut lines, their high style fit in with the good looking American designed clothes that American women wear. They are expensive, but we have selected them because they represent the artistry of some of our finest designers. They are trends. The Spring breezes will also blow on less extravagant models.<br>Spring advocates more hat and less foolishness. Off the face models have been accepted, applauded and adapted in all price ranges. Brimmed hats sit firmly back on the head. Not even the swoop down on the eye types lose face. There is a great deal of action behind the back of the head ... making exits as entrancing as entrances. The overstuffed look of winter has given way to straight adorned prettiness. Crisp ribbons are used by the yard in an unbelievable range of color . . . plus plaids, stripes and novelties. Flowers spring up in profusion. Veiling, maline and net come in for rapt attention."<p><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-5.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-5.jpg" width="400"></a><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-Version2-4-1.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-Version2-4-1.jpg" width="400"></a><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-4-2.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-4-2.jpg" width="400"></a><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-3-2.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-3-2.jpg" width="400"></a><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-Version2-3.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-Version2-3.jpg" width="400"></a><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-Version2-2-2.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-Version2-2-2.jpg" width="400"></a><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-2-2.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-2-2.jpg" width="400"></a><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-8.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-8.jpg" width="400"></a><br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-Version2-4.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/SheMagazineApril1947-Version2-4.jpg" width="400"></a><br>

Woman's Home Companion - 1956 Suits for an Easter Parade

<B>"It's news to wear shades of one color" These are clearly not the wasp-waist look we think of with the fifties...but here in 1956, we can see the sixties coming around the corner.</B><p><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/WomansHomeCampanionMarch56/file-1.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/WomansHomeCampanionMarch56/file-1.jpg" width="400"></a><br>All pale beige, contrast of textures-a color scheme right for most women. This version is a leather skirt, a leather and tweed jacket-- you can clean the leather with warm water, soap and a damp cloth. Bonnie Cashin for Milton Sills. Strap pump from Deb, bag from Coronet.<p>Mixture of neutrals-a color scheme that's every woman's fashion. The gray-beige silk suit with high-bloused back, by Montesano & Pruzan, is accented by warm brown-beige in a hat by Amy, a strap pump from Marshall, Meadows & Stewart.<br><a href="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/WomansHomeCampanionMarch56/file-2.jpg"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/what-i-found/MoreBlogging/WomansHomeCampanionMarch56/file-2.jpg" width="400"></a><br>Yellow-most popular high-key color, here used in varying degrees of intensity. Suit in white and yellow tweed mixture from Jablow. Lizard bag from Lucille de Paris, Monet jewelry, tie pump from Bally, bulky hat by Adolfo for Emme..<p>All-red for the adventurous-dramatic color co-ordination for the woman who can carry it. The coat has a skirt to match; Bardley. Matching shoe from Valentines, is cork-textured leather --smartest material of the year for red shoes. Harmonizing tones in Walter Florell's hat, the alligator bag.<br /><p>Blues are becoming, turquoise is lovely with gray hair. Shantung suit with polka-dot scarf by Adele Simpson; a straw hat by Sally Victor: linen pumps from Bonwit Teller dyed a deeper shade of turquoise than the suit- a new style note.
