Magazine: Weldon's Fancy Dress

If you're looking for inspiration for this year's Halloween make, vintage fancy dress catalogues always have a wealth of ideas! This Weldon's Fancy Dress Book dates from 1936-37 (the book itself is undated but can be pinpointed by the movie references) and features a wide array of costumes from the historical to the fantastical and whimsical (I love "Mascara" and "Lipstick"!)

Please note, being a product of its time, there are a number of costumes which would today be considered culturally insensitive.
