Three Ivey's ads from 1973 that truly reflected the era's fashions. Thanks as always to frequent LiveMalls contributor Pat Richardson for the scans.

    Ivey's truly was upscale for it's time and location, wasn't it. I miss the days of specialized drawings to advertise a product, collection, designer or lifestyle. Everything now is basically reduced to a 'circular' that can land in your mail box.

    There is definitely no magic left in typical department store advertising. I miss those days of quality very much.

    I agree. That was back when department stores were fashion leaders and Ivey's was at the top of its game.
