Here’s another detour to the days of film noir – lets check out a couple of little black dresses from that time . . . ..
Black crepe with major embellishments. the dress on the left is quite form-fitting, but with no stretch, and has a small side zipper, so you have to wiggle in. It is covered with metal stud decoration.
The frock on the right – also black crepe – is less fitted and easier to get into. Has a huge beaded design on the bodice – looks like a Firebird(?) – I guess we can make it whatever we want . . . . . . . .
These are rare finds, and in excellent condition. A couple of cherished items – like a hundred or so others in my closet . . . . . . . ..

In the case of the dresses I am showing, they are in excellent condition and the quality is also. Dresses this old can last well if they are cared for properly. I was fortunate to find some that had not been abused and I have since looked after them well! Thanks for asking about this important subject. When I wrote my book I put in a section about it because it can make all the difference!
