SPRING FORECAST

BEAUTY

Packed with forties fashion and tips on how to save costs due to resources such as fabric and paper being rationed during the war.

Excellent condition.  The photograph shows actual magazine you will receive. Please note the hole at the top left is where the Vogue Pattern book would have originally been secured with string.  Long since lost sadly.  These wartime Vogues are impossible to find now, there's only a finite amount left in the world and copies are increasingly difficult to source.
