1940's Style

The weekend saw us making our now annual trip up to Bewdley to attend the 1940's event at the wonderful Severn Valley Railway. We love it here; it's a beautiful part of the world and a really good preserved steam railway. Add in the chance to step back to our favourite period in history and a super time is pretty much guaranteed. Even the sun shone!


This weekend has it all, including some fabulous vintage shopping.  I was really fortunate this weekend to find several 1940's dresses, a coat, hats, and so on.  I was rather like Mr Benn, I left our lodgings in cosy warm 1940's clothing as the forecast was not good and emerged from the changing room to blazing sunshine, so decided to keep on the pretty blue floral silk dress and gorgeous felt hat with pretty flowers.


The photos have uploaded in the wrong order and I lack the time to rearrange them so I'm just going to let them do their thing and hope you enjoy them, working out the story for yourselves.

The railway is hosting the same event this coming weekend so if you fancy it, get yourself to the Severn Valley for a wonderful time.  Toodle pip!
