Dear Ramona,
No need for this Vancouver, B.C. patron to go so far afield! The best
known local costume historian is Ivan Sayers. He is now retired, but still
very active. You can probably reach him through the Vancouver Museum,
(604) 736-5417. He is also listed in the Vancouver telephone Directory.
The University of British Columbia Library also has quite a good selection
of 'ladies magazines' from that era, complete with fashion plates, if he's
interested in doing his own research.
If he's having any difficulty he can feel free to contact me - I taught
costume history twenty years ago and can still remember a few things.
