Welcome
A busy year ahead, starting with our wartime 'Blackout Dance' on 17 May. Click here for details.

A number of new books and projects are in the pipeline for this year (more details shortly) and I hope to add a lot more content, reviews, additional information and special offers, in the next few months.

Mike Browns latest book "The 1940s Look" which is full of advice for everyone wanting to know about fashion, hairstyles and make-up of the period is still proving to be very popular. If you haven't seen it then do take a look.

Many thanks for all the suggestions, comments, reviews and articles which are always welcome.

Enjoy the site.
