Madison Avenue Monday: Modess...because

One of the early Modess ads in the 20th century. This famous ad campaign ran from 1948 to the early 1970s.  Iisn't it interesting how subtle ads for sanitary pads were in the past?

But as for fashion, this beautiful gown from 1949 could have been designed today.

From Ladies Home Journal, January 1949
