Today I have a bunch of lovely fashion-related images, all from the early 1900’s, to share with you today.
The first one is an ad for an Acme Dress Form. Boy, would I love to get my hands on one of those pretties!

Here’s just the top half of the advertisement.
Fancy boot advertisement from the Utz & Dunn Co., in Rochester, NY

This very pretty, feminine image came from a 1911 The Modern Priscilla magazine, and was part of an advertisement for the National Style Book, by the National Cloak and Suit Company.
I wouldn’t want to try to wear a hat like this, but it sure looks beautiful.
Another boot advertisement – this one from the Swope Shoe Co. in St. Louis, MO.
These next 2 images were both in a 1911 The Ladies World magazine.
This one was a title header.
Very pretty feminine image. I’m sure a woman could barely breath in the corset she must be wearing, but I guess they figured, “no pain, no gain”.

This image was for children’s fashions.
Here’s a very cute advertisement for petticoats from a 1910 “The Housekeeper” magazine.

Angie … you do such a great job with those old advertisements … so glad you are enjoying the magazines. I too, would love to have one of those dress forms.

Oh Angie, these images are awesome. Love the lady with the 2″ waist. She would look stunning framed with vintage lace?
Thankd stax:-))
Love these images! I especially like the children’s fashions. So charming! Reminds me of ‘A Little Princess’ by Fraces Hodgson Burnett.
I love these old ads! Am getting so many ideas how to use them on my pieces in progress!!
Thanks!
I found one of these old dress forms at a Goodwill Shop in Rockford IL! As far as I know….it is still there. Would be fun to have one to play around with.
Thank you for these fantastic vintage ads! I love looking through them to see what I can use in my projects. If I do, and want to share them here, how do I do that?
