Mopsy

Way back when, a female cartoonist named Gladys Parker drew a strip about a feisty young lady called 'Mopsy'. Thing is, in the late 1940's bow ties were in fashion for women and so Mopsy quite often wore them (usually combined with more feminine attire, though). Here are a few examples:






Other characters wore them too, like here:



They even featured on the paper doll pages:




Naturally there were regular ties too, but not as frequently and usually as part of some uniform:




Now pardon me, I have to go look for some fashion pics from those times! At formal events (which are what we usually find photos from), dresses and gowns were the norm, of course.

Quite the classy lass.
