Fashion - Blouses: Fine and Dandy. Every now and again the urge to "dress up"
Fashion - Blouses: Fine and Dandy. Every now and again the urge to " dress up" creeps into the normally staid world of seasonal styles. It happened with the punk rockers, the pirates and the new romantics. Now its here again - straight from the haberdashery department. In a reaction against the current trend for grey and black shades, this years dressing-up look is taken - via the cutting room - from the furnishing floor. As long as its brocade, damask or chintz liberally mixed with lace, its acceptable. And people are wearing it with lisle stockings, ornate jewellery and velvet slippers. Try it - step back right into the fashion front line. Old Style....New fashion. February 1985

Fine and Dandy - A Step Back into Fashion's Front Line
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from February 1985, we are transported to a time when the urge to "dress up" took hold of the fashion world. Breaking free from the usual staid seasonal styles, this trend draws inspiration from unexpected sources - straight from the haberdashery department. As a reaction against the prevailing monotony of grey and black shades, vibrant colors and intricate patterns dominate. Brocade, damask, and chintz fabrics take center stage in blouses that exude opulence. The cutting room becomes an artist's studio as these sumptuous materials are transformed into wearable works of art. To complete this dressing-up look, women embrace accessories reminiscent of bygone eras. Lisle stockings hug their legs while ornate jewelry adorns their necks and wrists. Velvet slippers add a touch of elegance to every step taken on this fashionable journey. This photograph captures not only a moment in time but also showcases how fashion has always been cyclical - old styles resurface with new twists. It reminds us that style is not confined to rigid rules or trends; it is an expression of individuality and creativity. So why not try it? Embrace your inner fashionista and step back onto the front line with confidence. Let brocade be your armor, lace be your embellishment, and color be your statement. Rediscover the allure of old-style glamour merged seamlessly with contemporary flair.
