1940's war time Britain attire

Sorry, I was only pointing out tights didn't exist then so she couldn't have worn them iyswim :)

I didn't know you could score things out like that!!

Mini rolled up cupboard?? Instead of foam sausages?

ISWYM, but they do exist now.

Cardboard (cupboard, love it :D) could work, maybe. Like a toilet roll tube or something. It probably requires tons of hairspray too.

The strikethrough is a secret code only known to a select few. Shhh!

All that hairspray isn't very environmentally friendly either ;)
 
surely to do a roll like that you'd need proper old skool curlers then blow dry with lots of spray?

like these

Oh right :D

Have you tried any charity shops?

What about asking elderly relatives who were around at that time. I know my nan still had dresses from the 50s in the 1980s. I really wish when she died, I'd nabbed them, but I was young and naive and never realised that years later, I'd want them :D
 
oooh, now theres an idea! my paternal nan probably has

poo, she lives 150 miles away :( ill try the charity shops the weekend
