1940 Pinafore Inspiration: Part 1
I wanted to share some of my inspiration photos for pinafores from the 1940 August edition of American Vogue magazine:
This is the college edition of the magazine and I find the fashions absolutely charming!
I think these two photos are of the same pinafore? I love the bike too!
I think this is one of my favorite photos ever....it has everything I love: plaid skirts, plaid suits, sweaters, pinafores...
Apparently the pinafore in this photo is made of dark green velveteen! How lovely!!
Hope you are all having a lovely Saturday!

I adore 40s and 50s college fashion! Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely pictures, I may have to go look for a pinafore on Etsy right now!

Ooooh... one of velveteen would be nice for winter... or a wide-wale cord. Thanks for the inspiration!

Oh, I love these. I actually have a 40s "jumper" (skirt with suspenders) coming the shop some time in the near future. Just a fabulous vintage garment!
ReplyDeleteLove the pinafore and all that plaid!
ReplyDeletedid you know the girl in the knee high stockings with plaid skirt is Barbara Bush sister Martha !!!! I had stumbled upon a description of her in Barbara's auto bio, claiming that she was a beauty and she had possed on the August 1940 cover of Vogue. when I search for the picture this was it her sitting in front of a bicycle
