A Partial Synopsis from Good Reads: For thousands of women across America, hard hit when the frivolity of the twenties ended so resoundingly with the Crash of ’29, the pages of the Sears catalog became an essential resource in maintaining a wardrobe. An ambitious marketing operation, it could not afford to take chances on haute couture; its fashions were geared as closely as possible to the prevailing tastes of the American people.

My Thoughts: What a wonderful picture book! I am so vey grateful ladies’ under garments have improved!
