Color trend is such an important aspect of fashion.... read my latest ramble, The Color of Vintage Melody
Terrific article Melody, I really enjoyed reading it. You're so right about the color aspect of vintage, sometimes I'll buy a garment I'd otherwise pass on because of the color. Darn, before I got into selling vintage clothing there were a couple older huge sample fabric books that came up at the local auction. After reading about your hosiery brochure, now I'm kicking myself in the butt even more, can't imagine how much I could have learned from them. Thanks for sharing!
Terrific blog post, Melody! Such richly evocative color names throughout--my mind's eye got a lovely workout... I can see why you treasure that Holepruf brochure...
