OH, MAUREEN!!!!

The gloves are really terrible.

 

[Lady Day]

I love it when I find ugly thats a bit stealth.

They have cuffs!

Both of these were from the same Wards '41 catalog and the *same* page!

As a rule I'm the kind of gal who will brake for polka dots, but man oh man, I'd definitely keep plowing through and run those gloves over! They remind me of those kitchy washing-up gloves you find these days.

 

[LizzieMaine]

It takes a very confident kind of gal to wear anything named "Chubbie."

Yes. They remind me of lobster claws for some reason lol

Ugh. Anything hairy is a no-go for me and those sweater/shaw things are just awful. shakeshead

Or these kind of things, only with a prettier print on them.

It occurs to me that it should be called the "Chewie" rather than the Chubbie... it looks like a Wookie pelt!

 

[Lauren]

LOL! Gracie Lee, that's hilarious (and true)!

I love how the description for the shoulder thingies say- ‘ at an amazingly low price!…’ hmmm I wonder why!!! I suppose at least they weren’t meant to be worn out of the house,,, well I hope they stayed inside.

 

[Lady Day]

But lookit all the color options available on the 'chubbie' set! WOW! Can you imagine/stomach that in 'royal blue' or 'strawberry'?!

I had a "Chubbie" in grey fur once. Even if it wasn't too big on me, it would still make me look like some grey monster.
What's strange is that I wear full length fur coats well and chubbies are a shorter cut, maybe because chubbies go out at all the wrong angles while full lengths fan out lower than the waist.

 

[Amy Jeanne]

These ugly coats from the 1950s where the front is fitted but the back fans out. shakeshead Makes me think of a pregnancy gone really, really wrong. I'm glad they didn't last/catch on. These are from 1950:

Ha! These could do double duty in the "Victorian inspiration" thread! They remind me of the mantles that used to be worn over early bustle dresses! I didn't think they were becoming then, either

"Is it too much?"

"Is it too much?"

lol!!! A lot of Hollywood fashions are just insane!!

 

[Drappa]

That may have been a very fancy beekeeper's outfit. We should let Tatum know
