Brigin Leader In Need Of Help

[Leona Nolan]

Ok, this is a desperate plea for help!! I'm a Guide/Brigin leader and we're heading on a camp next weekend!! The Guiding movement in Ireland is celebrating 75 years in existence

What I desperately need to know is, what did people wear in that period of time!! Any help would be greatly appreciate!!

Leona- just go here and find all you need for 1928.

The Costumer's Manifesto: Bernard-Hewitt & Co. Summer 1928 Apparel Sale Catalog

Go to any fabric store and check out VOGUE pattern books- flip to the section called "VINTAGE"- tons of Twenties patterns.

Leona, try your local video shop and buy or hire a few films set in that period. 'Michael Collins', for instance, features a good range of everyday costumes in Ireland in the early 1920s (hopefully close enough).
