1930s Fashion: 1934 -1935 Womens Fashion for Fall and Winter Eatons Catalogue Dresses colour illustration

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.
