EYECANDY: Post Your Best 1940's Film Noir Items

[Alleycats]

Let’s do some vintage films from the 1940's. Mildred Piece was released in 1945, starring Joan Crawford. The film won 6 academy awards. Milo Anderson was the costume designer, an unknown who did not receive the credit he deserved.

Here's a few shots from the original film to start us off.

...and one of my favorite dresses from that era. I believe it was handmade by a very experienced seamstress, perhaps a custom order...

I have photographed a few vintage items in a noir style. No, I don't smoke, but a fake cigarette can come in handy here and there!
