1950s Vintage Dresses: Lana Lobell, Hanover, PA catalogs

I found four of these awesome Lana Lobell mail-order catelogs full of color and Black and white Photographs of beautiful 1950s Fashions! One has up to 72 pages; all have circle and squawl skirts, dresses galore and a small section of nighties and lingerie. Most dresses average around $15.00 dollars, and a lovely swing coat can be had for under $30.00. The best part is the catalog's offer of a payment plan: "Buy today with 6 months to pay." I will be sure to include illustrations from within at a later date. For now, enjoy the covers!

ACCESSORIES: Crescendoe Fashion Gloves and Wonder Fabric.

I love the illustration on the leaflet included with these NOS (New Old Stock) Embellished Gloves!

Gloves will soon be available at Flannery Crane on Etsy!
