I find a lot of the shoes and some clothes ugly, and a lot of the underwear too. Can't be bothered to posts pics, probably best if I didn't because quite a few of you ladies own this stuff lol

 

[Amie]

this most tragic crochet hat.

 

[Lady Day]

That lady is wearing a cocktail jigger on her head! lol

'cause my Dinah might
change...

Dinah Washington was far too classy a lady to go around dressed like a slipcovered lounge chair.

Maybe it was like the Seinfeld puffy shirt episode? The designer was a low talker and Ms Washington didn't know what she was agreeing to!

The little girls' smock is precious, but I feel the adult woman's is... well, a little too Barnum & Bailey. I admit to being a sucker for anything with a bow at the neck, though.

And that was Simplicity 1972, if anyone's secretly interested in hunting it down. Sorry for the small image!

My year 9 history teacher wore that in navy blue while she was pregnant. 20 plus years on the memory still haunts me.

One of the ugliest 1940s hats I have seen! I mean, what were they thinking with the paillettes hanging off it?

 

[HomesteadHattie]

Swinggal, that is truly terrible. It's like an upside-down flower pot, mangled during arts & crafts hour at a preschool.
The mannequin looks thrilled to be modeling it.
