Belt Scenes

This section attempts to show these magnificent belts in their correct context, around the waist of a woman in a typical mid century setting. The images below are web finds, movie stills, newspaper clippings or similar. All new contributions are warmly welcome, of course.

Brigitte Bardot

Brigitte Bardot

New A young Brigitte Bardot in the typical PVC belt of the 1950s. In the second picture she is 18 in 1952 and probably wearing the same belt.

Mrs Marlow

Mrs. Marlow playing the piano in the The Singing Detective that is partially set in the 1950s rural GB. We do not see much of it here but the plastic shine of her red belt is very typical and not to be seen today.

Strumpan

An employee at the local stockings factory wearing a PVC belt in the 1950s (image credit: SDS).

Dr No Belt
