Summertime Gals at the Seashore

Happy Summer! Here are two summertime sisters enjoying the beach.  It's a nice pose, symmetrical with pretty colors and an interesting rope frame, and of course the bathing beauty costumes are great.
This is a popular card, so maybe you've seen the image before, but I wanted to share something appropriate for the first day of Summer.  Please enjoy, and please credit/link Emily's Image Garden! Thank you!

Art Deco 1920s Corset Ad

Another corset ad, this one from a shop on Fifth Avenue in New York in the early 1920s.  It doesn't actually show the corset, but it's so cute!
"Goodwin corsets provide the most desirable foundation for the gown."
So-called "foundation garments" were a standard part of women's wardrobes for decades to come, well into the 1960s.  How do you think Joan Holloway looked so fabulous gliding through the office on Mad Men? 

Victorian Corsets Vintage Advertising

Always popular, vintage advertising of corsets for the fashionable Victorian lady.  These could be found in the London shop of Mrs. Addley Bourne, which in addition to ladies' garments manufactured and supplied bridal items and baby linens.

This is an older scan that someone sent me, and the clarity of the printing is not quite what I like, but it's so charming I thought I would share anyway.  I'm always on the lookout for more corset pictures...

Green Flapper Hat

JPG

Happy June!  I thought you would enjoy this cute little green cloche hat.  It looks perfect for a flapper or even an Edwardian girl out for a jaunt.  Above is a jpg.  Below is a png file as well because I thought that might be helpful for accessories/embellishments.  Either can be resized as needed, of course.
