Today, on a more-or-less routine survey, I had wonderful good fortune. I’m just about to re-examine and photograph my newest acquisitions and get them ready to post on the blog. Because I have already scheduled postings for the next three days, expect to begin seeing these on Sunday, Nov. 13.
Stay tuned . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . …

Doesn’t this fit Stella perfectly? I think she’s a 1950’s vintage size 10, as is this lovely ensemble, Modern size XS.
Originally made by a California designer. Fully lined and with the nice tailoring you would expect. Here are the back buttons again, and a metal zipper right in the middle of the back waist. Pants with these fit very nicely. I wonder why they gave it up?
Don’t you love Fifties prints? DRUMS!!! How bizarre and fun. No pockets – just streamlined style. Love it that my vintage KEDS match it exactly!

A rare find, though many are made today that look similar – true vintage capri pants in a fall-color plaid. They have little slits at the ankle, a high waist, and metal side zipper than actually slants into one of the hip pockets. The maker is Shipmates.
These were kind of like our nicer jeans are now – they were common as casual wear and in the ’60’s they started to venture more beyond picnics and recreational activities.
What makes them different than the ones today? The fabric, the color combos, the zippers, the labels, the fit.
The original owner hardly wore these, if at all. That shows how much skirts and dresses still held the traditional place for women’s daily wear. I wonder how long these were in hiding? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
