Glossy textured rayon – I always love sheer panels like this on the shoulders. The bodice is decorated with embroidered white flowers which have pearl centers. Nothing could be better for dinner out or a date night.

LIKE THE LAST 1940’S JACKET AND SKIRT? HERE’S ANOTHER!
This is one of my very favorite jackets – a lighter-weight rayon/synthetic number with an abstract print in brown on ivory, with black velveteen collar, cuffs & buttons. I wear it with a modern (80’s or 90’s) black silk skirt, at present.
Somewhere between the late Forties and the mid-Fifties this garment with an atomic print made a very stylish statement. It is utterly unique and I LOVE it!!

FOR EASTER, CHURCH OR A ST. PATRICK ‘S DAY DRESSY EVENT, A TRUE VINTAGE GREEN FEATHER HAT IS CHIC!
No matter when you wear the green hat, it’s going to draw attention. So, why not St. Paddy’s Day? The black and white number with artistic feather trim is also to die for. Chin straps were so practical.
These two are from the 1950’s and/or 1940’s. Marlene and Celia are feeling pretty “haute mode”.
Just love feather hats, and I’ll be showing some more before the Spring fashion parade is through. Notice that we’ve also got a veil. . . . . . . . . . .

LOOKING FOR A TRUE VINTAGE EASTER DANCE PARTY DRESS?
Here’s a pretty frock that’s just right for a dinner date, dancing or a semi-formal party. I always love sheer/opaque fabric combinations and a flippy hem that moves so wonderfully.
This dress was from a California designer/company that was popular in the 1960’s and 1970’s. One follower who commented when I first showed it 3 years ago said she would add a silvery belt and sandals. Sounds perfect to me!
Although this particular garment was made a little before the time of “disco nights” in the late Seventies, the style is classic and I’d certainly dance the night away in it . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
