Collette's Fashions for the Short Girl- part 2

On Saturday I posted a variety of pages from the booklet The Short Girl by Colette. Fashion Dos and Dont's for girls that are 5'3" or under. The book was published in 1943 and gives a real insight to the fashions and styles of the times.

Today I offer a few more pages from Colette's booklet. I especially like the tips for the "sturdily built bride" and the sports clothes recommendations. Take a look---

Colette and 1940s fashions for The Short Girl

If you were a "short girl" in 1943 you might have gotten some fashion tips from Colette--- the "internationally known stylist, dress designer, and fashion authority."  Colette wrote a 48 page booklet describing and illustrating the "Dos and Dont's for the Short Girl".   Take a look at some of the recommendations for the stylish 1940s woman.

 Perhaps it is time to search The Vintage Hat Shop for some hats to match these fashions! More tomorrow.
