Norman Parkinson 1946 - Jewels
During the war colour photography suffered very badly from poor printing inks and paper stocks. Most colour adverts were drawn rather than photographed. But by 1945 improvements in the higher class magazines became noticable.

Those dresses are truly beautiful. I love the corsages and those elegant gloves, too.
Norman Parkinson really knew how to make women look wonderful. x
so beautiful!
I would really like to know what fabric was used in these dresses and whether or not they were lined or underlined???????
Hi Auntie
I had a look in the magazine but there are no details at all, looking at the original pages though, they both look like wool crepe.
I'm deeply in love with that green dress!
