Winn's Department Store, Hunter St, Newcastle, 2 October 1953, by Sam Hood, originally uploaded by State Library of New South Wales collection.
I blame Toni (but in a good way) as she shared some great shopping links for those round of arse...I have a serious hankering for some new dresses. Festive and feminine would fit the bill. I'd also like to travel backwards in time and shop at some of these establishments.
I certain that this girl does.
Oh yes, I know I could try the sewing caper, but I'd like to hang onto what sanity I have left. For those of us who are lazy when it comes to clothes (much as I'd like to be excited about it), dresses are dreamy...you just pull one on, put on some shoes and you're done. Hurrah! More time for drinking tea, music, and dilettante crafting.

Those are the sort of photos I love, old vintage shopping departments!
