Christine Fisher-Lathwell – Changing fashion of window displays

Simon: So, the fashions in window displays had changed?

Christine: Oh totally, yes, all sorts of things. Mrs Barrow was definitely keeping up even more by buying from various places where the latest fashions were in, so people came to expect Mrs Barrow to have the colours that were in that Spring and the shapes because all the shapes of the clothes changed completely.

You know from one moment you’d be wearing lots of things with darts in and the next minute you’d be wearing like a sack cloth shape.
