1950s Christmas party in a livingroom with a wall of plates and a well stocked bookshelf.

Our 1950s ladies are really fashionable dresses, especially the two on the right of the photo. Love the circle skirt with some sort of cool design on it.

Vintage Photos of a 1940s Woman Named “Betty”

categories: 1940s, vintage images

2 weeks ago I did a fun Vintage Photo Tuesday on collection of images of a 1940s family with the focus on a woman named Doris. Doris was featured in multiple images with another woman named Betty. The collection was huge and I just could not show all the photos of the two ladies, so that means today’s VPT post is all about the lovely Betty.

Let’s Begin!

Vintage Images of a 1940’s Woman Named “Betty”
