Beach wear changed dramatically during the 1920s. The voluminous bathing dresses worn by the Victorians and Edwardians were replaced by short one-piece swim suits for sun-bathing. Doulton artist, Leslie Harradine, was there to record this new fashion in his series of bathers. As with other artists in the Art Deco era, Harradine also modeled nudes, artistically draped in the vividly patterned fabrics of the time.

Granny’s Shawl HN1642 The bonnet was the only correct form of head wear for Victorian Height: 7 ¼ inches ladies and there are many different types featured in the HN 1934-1949 $775 collection. Generally made of straw trimmed with other materials, the bonnet covered the top, sides and back of the head, tying in a pretty bow under the chin. The earliest types of poke bonnets had a projecting brim, which concealed the lady’s profile creating an impression of modesty. A tall crown widened to a large oval to form a flattering frame to the face. Later styles of bonnet, such as the Cottage, formed a continuous line from the crown to the brim and were often worn further back on the head. Little Lady Make Believe HN1870 Height: 6 ¼ inches 1938-1949 Ladies of modest means were encouraged to remodel their bonnets $850 to suit the prevailing fashions. Artificial flowers, lace, ribbons and Reflections HN1847 Height: 4 ½ inches other trimmings could instantly transform the bonnet. Ladies 1938-1949 carried a change of headwear for evening occasions in attractive $2,750 bonnet boxes. It was the custom to wear elaborate bonnets at the theater and one astute manager overcame the problem of blocked views by asking all the attractive ladies to remove their hats – others could retain them!
