Although it’s not the real-real 1940’s deal (always my preference), this frock has a lot of the right stuff:  a frowsy floral print on drapey  rayon, a swing skirt and classic shirtwaist styling. It’s also big enough to have kind of a blousy fit.  Looks like I’m inventing a few words here . . . . . .

In other words, it’s got a 1930’s/1940’s feel to it that will make it a pleasure to wear on an “off” day.  Once in a while, the copy-cats get it pretty right and it’s good to keep an eye out for those little gems.

Tomorrow I’ll show you Stella modeling an absolute original from this era – found two months ago while I was out and about. You deserve to see it off the hanger.  So excited!!!!!!!!
