Festive dresses for the Festive Season... the plain and checked combination on the lower right is a one piece dress: above it is a low-necked dress worn with a coordinating jacket.
A selection of sheath dresses, and one "pretty whirler". Most of these garments are made in wool.
Lana Lobell describes these as "Whirly, Swirly, Girly"! The red dress at bottom centre is described as "date-bait" designed to make the most of a small wardrobe with its own "perky tartan plaid vestee" to spice it up.
A selection of date and party dresses in cotton velveteen.
Young fashions which can be worn at work or school... or dressed up for extracurricular activities. The outfit on the top left is a jumper with matching blouse: by contrast, the dress at bottom left is a matching two-piece outfit.
And finishing on a more casual note: sweaters in mohair,
wool and orlon and printed and plain capris. Just the thing for opening your Christmas presents by the fire!
Lana Lobell catalogues are simply the bestestest catalogues ever. (well...at least in my opinion :D)
ReplyDeleteI once purchased the whole bunch of issues from 1961 to 1971. I wonder if the girls ever wore skirts that bouffant. Nonetheless they do look so enchanting. It's sad that this period of dressing is long gone.
There's a page of bouffant nylon petticoats in the back of the catalogue, so yes, I'd definitely say that at least some women were wearing skirts like this!
ReplyDeleteMust have been a hard thing to sit especially in a car or so. But despite these minor problems it definitely looks beautiful.
