1950s fashion: How Julia and Catherine might have dressed

  I wanted to share this little bit of Friday frivolity - these images are from this website selling custom-made frocks - and I thought just how much this range was inspired by the 1950s. I can certainly see my character Catherine Cavendish in the little black number - and Julia in the two full …
