Hello ladies
I thought you might be interested in a series that's currently showing on the BBC. It's called Style on Trial and each week takes a look at a different decade. Last episode was the 1940s and this week it's the 1950s. It had some great original 1940s footage of hair/fashion - including someone rolling up a pincurl and lots of tips on 'make do and mend'. For those of you who don't live in the UK you can watch it online at bbc.co.uk/iplayer but each episode will only be up for a week (I think you have until this Sat to watch the 1940s one). A lot of their footage comes from old Pathe newsreels - available for free from the Pathe website - it just takes a wee bit of searching to find what you want.
