Fashion on the Ration - Melbourne Vintage Fair
Posted by Nicole under Vintage Fairs
Twice a year Keith and Fiona Baverstock organise the The Way We Wear Fairs in Melbourne.
The next one is coming up soon: June 14th and 15th at Williamstown Town Hall. The theme this time is “Fashion on the Ration” focusing on one of my favourite eras: the World War 2 years.
At 1pm each day there will be fashion parades and other highlights include “drawing seams on legs” contests and ’40s fashion displays.
We have two free tickets to the fair - available to the first person to pop in to the shop on Saturday and ask for them nicely.

Ohhh - the difference between Austerity and Utility! Pooling your ration points to buy one wedding dress between 6 brides! Cool!
And we saw the preview for Australia today, and all I could think of was “Wow - is that one of Nicki’s outfits?”

I can’t wait to see that film! Hopefully Hugh and Nicole and co won’t distract from the costume viewing….
