Wow these are amazing! I like the one with the feathers (6th to last) the best, I think. Can’t wait to see more, what a great post! 🙂
Feathers make everything fantastic! I adore that one too 🙂
i would love to know the ages of the models. Their styles are so frumpy and middle aged looking to me, but I’ll bet they were considered young and sassy back then!
I don’t think the photo quality helps. No photoshop back them!
Wow, if I could pull off one of those looks I would. I don’t care if they’re outdated, they’re so cute. I’ve always been in love with the Marilyn’esque look.
They are all very pretty, I very much agree even the most elaborate I would sport 🙂

These are so lovely and sophisticated. It’s a great reminder of just how many pin curls are needed for looks like this–I usually do a couple rows and call it good.
