these photos are from a 1949 Life Magazine editorial entitled 'Fashion Extremes'. most all of the fashions showcased would be considered perfectly normal now [and also fabulous]. in fact, i had to read the captions for some just to see what was so extreme about them. fascinating, wouldn't you say?
'extreme' glove height
'extreme' amount of material
'extreme' foot nakedness :)
"extreme sleeve"
'extreme' due to exposed sequined bra

Wow! It is fascinating that none of these would seem that extreme any more...
Oh I see so many wonderful things I'd love to have!
Those extremely long gloves are ravishing. You never cease to amaze me, I love your blog!
