A FAVORITE TRUE VINTAGE ALMOST WIGGLE DRESS FROM THE 1950'S

This is a dress I wear often, because I really like the fit. It’s not tight enough to qualify as a true “wiggle dress”, I’d say, but it’s very flattering. And, a fit that’s not too tight is much more versatile and, many would say, even sexier. I think so.

It is really a simple day dress, cut well. The big pearlized buttons are such a fun addition to the style. The slightly-wider belt also accents the waist a little more.

These neutral black/white tones can go any time of year . . . . . . . . . .

MOD BLACK AND WHITE SHOES FROM THE MID 1960'S - SPECTATOR STYLE

A pair of, low-heeled classic quasi-spectator-style Mod pumps.  Black and white is always “in”, and is always de la mode.  Very practical for any Sixties – era outfit.  You can also dance the night away in comfort.

This pair is by the famous maker Florsheim, a quality name for decades.  Looks great Spring, Summer or Fall.  Probably in Winter, too.  A classic’s a classic, right?

A GORGEOUS TAILORED DRESSY FROCK – TRUE VINTAGE FROM THE SIXTIES

This dress is beautiful.  Despite it’s clean and unassuming lines, it is beautifully tailored.

Of black velveteen, it’s a party or dressy-occasion frock.  Fully lined, with nice details at the hem, waist and sleeves.  It’s the type of dress that might have been worn to a Homecoming dance or party, a recital or special dinner event.

Even though the style is “plain” (read Elegant), I love finding garments of such high quality because they stand out on that basis alone.  It really gives me a lot of pleasure to wear clothing like this.  Of course, I always love black . . …. …
