The soft luster of white satin is exquisitely set off by pearl trimming in this Lucile-Paris wedding gown. Lucile suggests a striking innovation in bridal hosiery- Fanchon, faintest, most delicate flesh-pink, rather than white. Perhaps the most unusual of the new hosiery shades sent from Paris by Lucile is Fleur de Lis, the creamy ivory color which was created for use with nacre shoe leathers – but which is equally smart worn with beige and black footwear.”
Hosiery, the all-important link in ensemble, must conform closely to the mode. Its duty is to blend the colors found in dress and shoes. Perhaps, to harmonize with one, contrast the other.
Thus new colors are required not found before. That’s why Lucile of Paris sends new colors and new shades so hurriedly. With them you rest assured of Paris chic.

The finest stockings in the world are made at home… flawless, cobweb chiffons, incomparable! But for the superlative in color we must go abroad. And so, Holeproof, world-famous maker of America, joins with the master artist of le beau monde… Lucile.

You see innumerable hosiery colors, but Lucile warns few are actually correct. Perhaps in twenty “nudes” one alone is right. That’s why there is one Lucile Petale; one Lucile Yvonee.
And in Lucile you find a color guide, Holeproof, alone, can offer you.

See this number at your Holeproof store. Other styles range from $1.00 to $2.95. All are of the same flawless texture. All give the same long wear.
One of the saddest thing about our move from records to tapes to CDs to digital is that so many great singers, songs and songwriters have gotten lost in the shuffle. Sure, you can find most things now with a quick Googling, an online swipe of the credit card, and voila! But as a music …
What a great find from GlamourDaze! A promotional video from the ’30s with five different featured hairstyles (or as the oh-so-delightful announcer puts it, “five new creations for mi’lady’s coiffure.”) These are some seriously gorgeous looks, mi’ladies!

Born on this day in 1894, artist George Petty created pinup art for Esquire magazine (among others) beginning in the 1930s and continuing into the 1950s. Reproductions of his work, known as “Petty Girls,” were reinterpreted and used by military artists as nose art decorating warplanes during WW2, including the most well-known example, the Memphis …

Whenever a new trend is seen, stockings must at once be color-styled to suit. Now fashion’s whim is new. This time it turns to composé in color and in fabric. This means soft blending of a single color’s tone, or harmonious union of the shades of two.
Thus new colors are required not found before. That’s why Lucile of Paris sends new colors and new shades so hurriedly. With them you rest assured of Paris chic.
