The Thin Man is an old favourite film of mine, partly for the hilarious dialogue and warm joshing between Myrna Loy and Charles Powell and partly for the impossible 30s glamour of the costumes, which are by Dolly Tree, a British designer. As well as clothing, she was good at illustration and career advice.
If you like fur, elaborate sleeves, velvet, bias cuts, perky hats and want to know how to look good with an ice pack on your head, you're in for a treat... screen shots of my favourite outfits after the jump.
