Overview

edit

Barrat chatted with guests and presented fashion tips for women of the 1940s. The program, produced and distributed by DuMont, aired live:

  • Tuesdays at 7 pm ET on most DuMont affiliates during the 1948-1949 television season;
  • Mondays at 8:30 pm ET in July and August 1949;
  • Mondays at 9 pm ET from September 1949 to January 1950.[2]

The series was cancelled in early 1950, and was one of several low-budget fashion programs, such as Fashions on Parade, broadcast by the DuMont network.

Features of the program included "how to have a wardrobe for either $1.98 or $1098."[3]

Bob Loewi was the show's packager and director. Conover Career Girls modeled clothes on the show.[4]
