"A Folder of Fashion Finds" (Woman and Beauty, October 1948)

The October 1948 issue of Woman and Beauty had a little fold-out section containing two suggested wardrobes.   (Drawings were by Francis Marshall, photograph by John French.)


First, a hat (to be worn with both outfits).


Second, coats to go over the outfits.  On the left, a "big topper" to be worn by women who like colour and mostly wear suits.  On the right, a belted coat for women who like wearing black dresses.


 

Next—on the left, a suit by Harella to be worn under the big topper.  On the right, a dress by Frederick Starke to be worn underneath the belted coat.


Next, a change of clothing.  On the left, a "jumper suit" made out of grey jersey to go under the red topper.  On the right, a shirtwaist "that is always perfect for the office" to go under the belted coat.


And lastly a raincoat and fur-lined boots for those cold wet days!
