Thread: 'Men, Women and Clothes'

Sorry if there's a thread about this, I couldn't see one.

I saw this last night on BBC4... BBC - Archive - What We Wore - Homepage
Maybe a bit of an odd programme and quite funny to see a fashion programme from the 50s compared to today's, but I quite liked it. Plenty of corsets and frills..oh, and the 'New Look', which I love
It's also on the iplayer site.

Have to agree with you, I love the music, the fashion and the whole scene.
This will make you smile. At my wedding reception I had danced a Rock & Roll number in my wedding dress, later that evening, after getting changed, we got all dressed up fifties style, and danced a waltz to this. I just love Kay Starr.

I'm so glad someone has posted about this! I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode and would recommend it to everyone, whether you love fashion history, or, like me, you are a huge fan of television history.....a particularly interesting point was the note that the smallest waist they have in the whole collection is 21inches!

xxxVxxx

It looked so tiny though!

Broomy, your wedding sounds fun!

I thought they were all fab and the kind of thing that costumes museums would never let you put on and film these days.

beautifully done and simply told as well I wish they would put a dvd collection of them all together for my costume archive as I never managed to record any of them
