November Angels

Grey and yellow is a lovely combination, especially this sombre stormy shade with that cheerful primrose. I like the skirt and top, but suspect that gown would be rather meringue-like in fabric form. The illustrator has sculpted them both quite skilfully and evocatively however. There is no credit throughout the calendar, so the illustrations were likely executed by some nameless minion on the payroll.

Both these ensembles are from the Angèles collection of the House of Worth, 1948–52.

Hope you are in the throes of a lovely spring-like – or autumnal as the case may be – November.
