While it’s still warm enough to wear them, here are several of my favorite casual day-dresses. They’re great in the Summer, too, but the colors look like Autumn to me. The plaid fabrics are a wonderful vintage look.
I just love these for running around in every day. Since the fabric is somewhat sheer, they do require a slip but they’re super simple to wear and accessorize. Anyway, who objects to opportunities to wear beautiful true vintage lingerie?
All have unknown maker’s names, or maybe just a union tag. They were average garments from that time and wouldn’t have been expensive, but they fit really well and look smart. Exceptional tailoring is one of the reasons that I love true vintage clothing so much.
For some reason, these look like Nancy Drew dresses to me. How appropriate . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
