Good Morning and welcome to a brand new week!
I recently acquired piles and piles of vintage Modes Royale Catalogues. So what better to do with them than to share them with you?! The pictures are wonderful. This week I'm sharing the 1956 Fall/Winter Collection. As much fun as it can be to add a vintage piece to our wardrobe, most of us would rather not look like we just walked out of 1956. What these pictures offer me is inspiration, a pocket treatment, a stylized collar, an interesting sleeve, even a fabulous hat idea.
I hope you enjoy scrolling through. In the coming weeks I'll post more pictures. Like I said, I have piles!
This post has two labels, Monday Morning Inspiration as well as Modes Royale. So if you would like to find the pictures in the future, just put Modes Royale in the search box or click on the Modes Royale label and you should be able to come back to all the posts that contain these pictures.
Wishing you all a lovely and productive week.

How elegant they all are! And you are so right about 'lifting details' rather than taking a whole garment. There are a number of details I would like to use from these pictures.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that you are finding something to take away from the pictures!
DeleteLove all of these; you lucky soul!

I am really lucky! But I like to spread the luck around ;)
DeleteBesides the elegant styles I loooove the poses
ReplyDeleteThey all look so glamorous and slender. I've never used a vintage pattern because the unrealistic drawings put me off - I'm not sure what my finished garment might look like on me with my dumpier figure.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as the measurements for my neck, bicep and waist are the same, I'll be all over these !
These are wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing
ReplyDeleteAmazing details on every garment. I even recognized a few details being used in fashions to day.
ReplyDeleteI thought exactly the same thing Bunny.
DeleteOh, yes, please! I could live in that time because it's my favorite style. I greatly appreciate this post and I will really enjoy. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh it would totally be worth looking like Ethel Mertz (as I would!) to have these dresses!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh they are so special. Awe inspiring. I love this era. So many fun details. I would love to see the pattern pieces drawn on the instruction sheet. That would help with details to incorporate into my sewing. Thank you so much for sharing. What a treasure you have.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, If there is one piece in particular that you might like, let me know and I could draft out the pattern and show how it is done.
