1939

I thought this dress was an interesting couturier design, which harkens back to the side panniers of the 16th and 17th centuries. -- Vogue Pattern Book (v.15, no.1), October-November, 1939, p. 42.

1951

Does anyone else remember the Maidenform bra ads? I remember them from my American Girl magazine days. Wow!-- "I dreamed I was a toreador in my Maidenform bra." -- Vogue (New York ed.), March 1, 1951, p. 37.

1926

Bathing Costumes - Vogue Fashion Bi-Monthly (v.1, no.3), Feb.-Mar. 1926, p. 61.

1927

An advertisement for a reducing corset, with a Valkyrie modeling it. I love the delicate way they give you unsavory information: "The modern line over the bust -- gently, artfully feminine, whether you own that line yourself or have lost it ... Independent diaphragm control, where luxurious Americans need it most ...." -- Vogue Pattern Book (v.2, no.6), Aug.-Sept. 1927, p. 3.
