Fashion Catalogue: Marshall and Snelgrove Spring 1941
Full 32-page fashion catalogue from London high-end department store Marshall & Snelgrove dated March 1941, featuring clothing, accessories and lingerie.
The welcome page encourages the recipient to have confidence shopping by mail order, explaining that "Despite all difficulties, we are maintaining our standards of quality, service and workmanship, and we urge our customers to buy good clothes that will last, as we believe that quality is the only true economy. So many of our customers are now unable to visit London that this season's catalogue is our emergency "shop window.""
This was the early war years and the London Blitz was underway.

ummm are you a time lord?! isn’t that you wearing the koritza? amazing!
Haha I can see what you mean! The fact that the dress is coincidentally almost identical to the Amourette dress makes it even better!
My nana worked as a beautician at Marshal and Snelgrove in the 40’s :)
What a fun family connection!
Can't wait to read it 😍
