Thanks for posting this. I am crazy about the women’s costumes on Mad Men(?). I’m not sure, but the fashion in these photos seem similar. Beautiful.

When I see pictures such as these, I am always filled with such longing to be part of the scene. To be in there (particularly in some of those dresses!) experiencing the settings, sounds and smells.
