Step back into the stylish world of post-war fashion with this incredible pocket guide from Grafton Fashions. Dating from the late 1940s to the mid-1950s, this rare 32-page booklet is more than just a reference book—it’s a window into an era of elegant design and innovation.

This guide showcases the stunning range of Grafton's anti-shrink washable rayon crepe fabrics, including iconic patterns like Valko, Lavenelle, Grafenga, and Clairdechene. Each page is filled with vibrant, full-colour illustrations of women's fashion designs, a true testament to the creativity of the time.

Given its age, the booklet is in very good condition. The subtle surface marks and gentle folding on the covers simply add to its authentic vintage charm. Inside, the pages remain clean and the colours are wonderfully unfaded, preserving the original beauty of the illustrations. While the staples have rusted and some pages have loosened—a natural sign of its long life—the integrity of the content is fully intact. The final page even has a unique piece of history—some ink calculations, hinting at a past owner and adding to its unique story.

This is an essential piece for any budding designer, a treasure for those fascinated by mid-20th-century fashion, or a valuable reference book for anyone studying textile history. Don't miss your chance to own a truly unique slice of fashion history.
