EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1920s, a woman carefully studies the intricate instructions from a brochure as she prepares to dye her dainty frock of opal hues. The frock, with its sleeveless design and striped pattern, is a beautiful example of the fashionable and colourful clothing trends of the era. The opal hues of mauve, purple, pink, and blue are reminiscent of the artistic and creative spirit of the 1920s, a time when craft and art were celebrated in the home. The woman's focused expression and the open page of the brochure, which features the Dy-o-la Dyes logo, suggest that she is about to embark on a project to tint or dye her dress using these dyes. The methods and instructions outlined in the brochure would have allowed her to create the desired opal hues in her own home, adding a personal touch to her wardrobe. The 1920s were a time of great innovation and experimentation in the world of fashion and textiles. Women were eager to express their individuality and creativity through their clothing, and the availability of new dyes and tints allowed them to do so in vibrant and colourful ways. The dainty frock of opal hues in this photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the 1920s and the role that craft and art played in shaping the fashion of the time.
