Shown at Londons first post-war non-austerity fashion show
Shown at Londons first post-war non-austerity fashion show, a black taffeta frock with a huge bustle at the back, just right for cocktails or a party. The double frill of stiff white lace round the neckline is repeated again on the slip underneath to peep out as the skirt swings while walking. It is topped by a hat made of the same lace and black ribbon.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to London's first post-war non-austerity fashion show, where this stunning black taffeta frock stole the spotlight. With a voluminous bustle at the back, it exudes elegance and sophistication, making it the perfect choice for cocktails or a glamorous party. The double frill of stiff white lace adorning the neckline adds a touch of femininity and is cleverly repeated on the slip underneath, peeking out as the skirt gracefully sways with each step. To complete this exquisite ensemble, a hat crafted from matching lace and black ribbon sits atop the model's head, adding an air of mystery and allure. This print captures not only a moment in fashion history but also showcases how creativity flourished even during challenging times. Taken in May 1946 by Mirrorpix and now available through Memory Lane Prints, this image transports us back to an era when style was celebrated despite post-war constraints. It serves as a reminder that fashion has always been an art form capable of uplifting spirits and inspiring dreams. Whether you're a lover of vintage clothing or simply appreciate timeless beauty, this photograph invites you to immerse yourself in the glamourous world of 1940s fashion.
