This LIFE Archive photo set is called “Streetcar Party”. I wish I knew the story behind it, and that I had been at the party!

The photos were taken in 1942 by Bob Landry.

Dirndls seem to have been very popular this year!

I love those white shoes! Some inspiration for Swedish Hasbeens next summer collection perhaps? Hint, hint! The ones behind are fantastic as well.

I love these shoes too, and they look a lot like my white Re-mix “Rita” shoes.

Alligators!

I love the outfit with the plaid jacket.

More wonderful shoes. I love those super high heels.

I like this very loose fitting and casual suit. I think that’s not a skirt but a pair of loose culottes.

I love this bar!

This girl sitting on the railing reminds me of Miriam!
