You may already know this, but in case you don’t, you can look through pretty much all Sears catalogs from way back up ‘til 1993 at Ancestry.com. After looking through tons of them I’ve come to the conclusion that apart from my special love of the 80s (they’re in a category of their own) the very best years of fashion were 1960 to 1964. What a dream it would be to be able to order from these catalogs. Keep reading to see a few of my favourite pages, and see the rest at Ancestry.com!
I really, really want a chunky gold charm bracelet sort of like this, but everything either has nickel (I’m allergic) or is real gold and therefore too expensive. Nickel allergy is really annoying when you’re into vintage costume jewellery.

What a great resource, thanks so much for sharing this on your blog. I think there will be alot of people wistfully looking through these catalogues now…all we need to do now is come up with a time machine so we can go back and put in a bulk order :-D

Thank you for the link, I didn’t know it. :)
And I think if they remade many of the gorgeous models, they would still sell a lot. I would love to own many of the beautiful dresses.

You’re welcome! It really is a great resource.

I’ll probably spend ages looking through all the inspiration, so thanks! Also, how cute are the petites dresses? I need a sailor dress dammit.

Jag visste inte heller! Det måste jag absolut kolla.
Jag kan kanske inte hålla med om att 1960-1964 var den absolut bästa modetiden, men nog var det fint alltid! Något man kan tacka ‘Mad Men’ för är att de lyft fram den här tiden och visat att 60-talet inte bara var Beatles, hippies och Mary Quant…
Jag älskar första bilden, underklädesbilden från 50-talet och 40-talsbilden med “Gay new prints”!

Hmm…vad ska man söka på för att hitta till de här katalogerna? Jag hittar bara sökformer för gamla släktingar…

Jag kan inte komma in på sidan nu eftersom min provmedlemsperiod har tagit slut, men jag hittade den här adressen i min history som leder till en katalog iallafall, det kanske går att klicka sig vidare därifrån: http://search.ancestry.com/Browse/view.aspx?dbid=…

Då mitt intresse är kläder från 50- o 60-talet så kollar jag också efter gamla postorderkataloger för att få idéer om dåtidens mode och stil. Därför hittat denna länk med några Sears o andra kataloger.

Tack så mycket för länken! Just julkatalogerna saknas från Ancestry så det var perfekt :)
