Synopsis

Drawing on Sears catalogues, this collection presents over 130 fully illustrated pages of period imagery showing what men, women, and children wore throughout the 1930s. Hundreds of illustrations capture a shift in style, reflecting the decade’s economic austerity and a move away from the flamboyance associated with 1920s fashion.

Lower hemlines and clothing made from more traditional, affordable materials are clearly represented, offering a practical reference point for anyone interested in fashion, costume, or dress history.
