this one to is actually dressed a lot like my grand mom in her youth... i love the scholar-beauty look - glasses and the fancy lace-collared blouse and tiny clutch!

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
Ooh! I love lace collars. Amit, you are always unearthing such treasures.
Your captions are brilliant! Although I think the women look more Parsi than Gujju.
Lovely!
you are right, saee. they look well-fed - most likely to be rich parsees of the time :)
Wow, what lovely vintage posters...Enjoyed it thoroughly...Dont know if it was Gujju fashion, but I know a couple of Parsi friends who have grandmothers and grandaunts who still dress like this..right down to the curls in the hair...:)
Absolutely awesome
