ALT for Damerne, April 1958

I have scanned another round of ALT for Damerne (ALL for the Ladies) from April 1958 for you. It was a thick magazine, so you'll only get the first half. Remember you can click the photos to enlarge. The text is unfortunately in Danish, but I think you might enjoy the photos.



Let's start with hat fashion. Hats had to be soft and bendable:

The one with the flower prints are really nice and I love her necklace with the great knot:


If you had problems dressing for your shape, here is some advice:

If you lived in the middle of a city I suppose the dream house must have been a farm house like this in the country:

But who wouldn't be "content" with a fantastic element kitchen like this:

I understand she looks so happy, because it is really nice.

And if you need inspiration for your knitting needles, I give you this mustard yellow and furry cardigan:
Because We have to have it - as the subject says.

Here is the pattern, if any of you understand Danish:


Beauty interests all ladies:


Because we can all get prettier - as the subject says:
Nice to know that there's hope!

Moving on to the commercials, which I love, and here is also advice for your beauty problems. Here it is Vitaline with the the glaring cosmetic formulas:

And finally a mascara add. These are rare and this one can remind us all how easy it is to apply mascara in our modern world:

There is always a lot of shampoo adds, because back in the fifties washing your hair was truly an excuse:
Elida takes care that he is proud of his wife - and I suppose that's what all wives wants?

The most beautiful hair in the world, is what Lustre-Creme Shampoo promises:
The bottle itself would make me buy the product. I wish they made them like this today.

While some hair should shine and make the husband proud, other hair should be removed a.s.a.p.:
Veet takes care of that in just three minutes.

And an add for something I don't think many modern women knows what is today:
Starch that smells fresh.Makes the clothes look like new and takes care the skirts look full as fashion dictated.

  1. One of things that I love about vintage magazines that are chocked full of photos and illustrations is that said images often transcend language and completely speak for themselves. I can garner just as much inspiration from these wonderful Danish pages from the 1950s as I could from a similar English magazine of the era. Great fashion, art, etc is a wonderful language unto itself.

    Thank you very much for scanning and sharing more of this delightful magazine with us, dear Sanne.

    1. I'm glad you say so, because that is what I hoped. I write a little explanation in English and then I hope my foreign readers will find it entertaining although the text is in Danish.
