The Most Beautiful Things: Vintage 1940s Apparel from the Brooklyn Museum Costume Collection


Is it odd that my second thought after seeing these photos (my first being "Why can't I own all of these?!?) was "I wish these were all available in my shop!" The product photography is quite sumptuous too, I might need to take up the AV product photo quality to "museum worthy" *hehe* One can dream!

  2. I hope that red and white striped one has a shirt that goes with it :) Just kidding. Lovely clothes, I wish I had them too! Especially the first one where the lining of the coat matches the dress!

  4. Gorgeous. I know what you mean, I went to a Victorian and Albert Museum exhibition of vintage clothes and they had Dior dresses and cocktail wear worn by Princess Margaret (when she was young) - I wanted to wear them all!

  6. I've always had a fondness for 1940s fashion (part of the treat of watching movies from that era!) These are lovely.
