I love a good vintage catalogue as they are excellent examples of what the average person was purchasing for their homes and closets.
Now if you are not lucky enough to own one of these pieces of history, the Library and Archives of Canada has a large collection of online catalogues for lovers of all things vintage (like all of us) to browse and share. And for today’s Eatons Catalogue I would like to do just that.
So without further adieu….
Discover the glamorous world of the 1930s with our exclusive look at the Eatons Fall and Winter 1934-1935 catalogue! From elegant dresses to timeless accessories, get ready to dive into the style secrets of yesteryear.
Fashions of an Eatons Catalogue-Fall & Winter 1934-1935
Let’s see what fashions were inside the Fall & Winter 1934-1935 book:
1930s Dresses & Coats for Young Girls and Women
What a fashionable little girl you could have.
The mini versions of adult women’s outfits for young girls is pretty fun to look at.
You can’t go wrong with any of these beautiful blouses and pullovers.
1930s skirts, breeches and skiing outfits for women.
Smart Sports outfits are a MUST when stepping outside to do sports things.
1930s formal fashions. The Bottom right dress in the black and gold is my dream dress. Stunning!
Keep in mind the time…1930s dresses that help a woman appear slimmer.
1930s dresses for average and larger women (they all look slim to me).
1930s Accessories-Purses, Hats, Gloves and Shoes
What I LOVE about 1930s hats is the “tilt” that was so fashionable. Everyone looks likes a movie star in them.
Berets are so very “IN” right now and these “In Star & Maple Leaf” designs are sure to turn heads.
Women’s elegant gloves, and children’s gloves and mittens.
Stunning women’s 1930s shoes and one set of boots. Gosh these are beauties!
I adore a “Rainette” Boot and I wish that they were available today to make my ugly rain boots fashionable again. Don’t you agree?
Cosy Undies for Comfort and Dainty Lingerie for Charm
Further Reading: Vintage Pajamas & Loungewear of the 1920s-1950s
Real silk hose, seamless, full fashioned and more!
Corsetry that controls and supports.
That is it for this week, but I hope you enjoyed a look into Womens Fashion of 1934 & 1935 (I know I sure did and I’m sending off my order right now. ha!).
Did not see something you were hoping to see? Don’t worry! I will be posting more items from the Catalogue on another future post because there just was so much content (over 300 pages of items). So stayed tuned.
