| One of my lovely customers lent me this amazing book 'Horrockses Fashions'. Horrockses primarily ran a cotton fabric company but after the WW2 decided to expand and release a range of ready to wear hostess gowns, beachwear & dresses. |
 |
| A 1940's advertisement for Horrockses, Crewdson & Co.'s sheets and towels. |
 |
| An advertisement for an evening dress in 1953 'Lansil' jersey. |
 |
| Many of the beautiful fabrics were designed by artists. Like this botanical print designed by Alastair Morton. |
 |
| Pineapple & rose fabric design by Pat Albeck. This one of my favourites! |
 |
| This one is by Pat Albeck too! love these fruit designs... |
 |
| So beautiful a finely drawn rose pattern by Pat Albeck... |
 |
| And last but not least this gorgeous novelty print from the children's range by Joyce Bradrocke! And this is just a few from the vast range of fabrics in this book..... Leah x |
