Lady Danna Retro & Vintage

I like the 1940s even though they are specific - square shoulders, military style and a bit of masculinity.  However, even in this all there is something elusive and enticing.  But again, as with the 1930s, my collection of original early 1940s clothing contains only accessories - hats, clip-on earrings, necklaces, bracelets and bags.   To be honest, when I tried on this outfit, I didn’t know what exactly I could get. Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that a similar silhouette was worn in 1945-1946.  That is, after the end of World War II.   My hat may be from an earlier period, but the similar style was also worn in 1945-1946 and was called the "bonnet hat".  But the daisies make this hat special. In general, artificial flowers can turn the most modest hat into a work of art.   I have very few bags older than the 1950s and this wicker bag is one of those few.  I bought it only for 1 złoty in a Polish secondhand.  Thank...

Street view on Google maps allowed me to see the building that once housed this production. Unfortunately, it is no more exist.  The building is unique in that its facade on the left side is decorated with a panel with a child, a woman and a man with a sewing machine. Perhaps a silent witness that my dress was once made there and that the factory made clothes for all genders and ages... All references to "Siro-Puku" are in Finnish reference books (YHTIÖHAKEMISTO 2: Suomen kauppa ja teollisuus kuvina) f...
