Ladies Wrappers

Lisa and I are a bit behind in our Point of Departure project.  Below is the picture that she gave me for May.  May's theme was "fashion" and I was supposed to make a collage with this picture from an old Eatons Department Store catalogue. 

Of course I've seen many pictures of how people dressed a hundred years ago, but I still found the images extremely odd.  The women seem to be bent at the waist.  They look a little deformed and I found the ad somewhat creepy.  I'm so glad we don't have to wear uncomfortable clothes these days.  However, lots of people do anyways so maybe not much has changed.  I felt an overwhelming desire to cut this picture up and it was almost too late to scan it.  I did manage to reassemble it so you could see it.

I found these little boys on the back cover of an old book about crafts for boys.  It was also a little creepy because two of the boys have little black moustaches.  I didn't do that!  Maybe some little boy who didn't like crafts did!!
