TRUE VINTAGE LITTLE BLACK DRESS WITH IT’S OWN BOLERO JACKET – FROM THE 1950’S

IMG_1305This lovely little ensemble was sold by Sears Roebuck & Co. and has their own label inside.  A stream-lined and lovely sleeveless sheath dress with black embroidery on the bodice, with it’s own matching jacket, but in contrasts of black on white.

I have several dresses of this basic design and will show a couple more of them soon.  It was a very practical and elegant style that could go almost anywhere.  Think of how a little hat, nice bag and gloves would dress it up.

Now, imagine dressing like this every day  . . . . . . .

A PRETTY EASTER-Y TRUE VINTAGE DRESS FOR SPRING – SEVENTIES DOES THIRTIES

IMG_1223 IMG_1225Another of my last year’s finds.  When I’m traveling, it’s possible only to photograph things on a hanger; but, now that I have the stellar Stella working with me, I can picture them properly.

This dress is made of a lovely, slinky rayon – probably with a hand (feel) a lot like the real ones from the 1930’s.  You can’t beat the drape of a really nice rayon fabric and how it falls over and accentuates the body.

The collar and tie are real stylistic touches from the Thirties era, too, and who can beat that color for the up-coming season?  A really nice retro piece is sometimes worth collecting – especially when it’s also true vintage . . . . .
