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  . . . . . . .

FORWARD 10 YEARS – SAME ERA, TRUE VINTAGE COTTON HOUSE-DRESS FROM THE EARLY 1960’S

IMG_1368Just like the one shown yesterday, I love this style.  It’s so comfy and at-home, but still with classic good looks and wonderful  fabric.  That’s something that can almost always be depended on with true vintage clothing.

In this case, I’m in love with the colors and the soft material.  What could be more comfortable in the warm weather to come?  Easy to wear and the tie waist makes the fit so custom-perfect every time . . . . . . . ..

FABULOUS TRUE VINTAGE 1950’S STRAPLESS DRESS WITH BEADED BODICE AND MATCHING JACKET

Morgana Martin, the magicvintagespy's avatarMagicvintagespy

Here’s the flip-side of sweet – my favorite strapless number from the 1950’s. Rayon with beading and a killer fit.

I love to imagine where this one has or could have been. Smokey nightclubs come to mind. Maybe she was a singer.

It was a dark night in the city. The story you are about to see . . . . . . . ….. . .. . . . . … . . ..
