Minuscule waists - and VERY short skirts: Secretaries from the Thirties to the Swinging Sixties reveal how office girls looked in decades past (obligitory cigarette and all)
A series of photographs capturing secretaries at work from the Thirties through to the Swinging Sixties demonstrate some of the daring styles that were in vogue decades ago.
From miniskirts to kitten heels, the young corporate helpmates model a range of liberating office wear while heavy eye-make up and rouged lips complete the sexually empowered style as demonstrated by characters such as Joan Holloway in the hit AMC series Mad Men.
But it's not just the dress code that has changed over the years, and the action shots showcase a range of practices that would be frowned upon in the workplace today, such as smoking, drinking and outright flirting.
The changing shape of women: With conical bra and cinched in waist, this Sixties secretary shows just how much women's silhouettes - and fashions - have changed over the decades
