TRUE VINTAGE 1950’S – 1960’S WOMEN’S BLOUSE OF RAYON CHIFFON

TRUE VINTAGE 1950'S - 1960'S WOMEN'S BLOUSE OF RAYON CHIFFON

Love the Florida colors of this breezy blouse (and guess where I am now!). I found this here several years ago. It had been sold originally at some relatively small shop with its own label.

The blouse is sheer, with fabric-covered buttons. You can almost guess where it’s from just by looking at it. It’s just right, with a pair of white slacks, for a walk along the boardwalk or some leisurely shopping.

I go for walks along the boulevards, looking at the bungalows and the villas, wondering whose closet this came from. You just never know . . . . . . . . .

TRUE VINTAGE FULL-LENGTH CRINOLINE HALF-SLIP FROM THE 1950S

TRUE VINTAGE FULL-LENGTH CRINOLINE HALF-SLIP FROM THE 1950S Even if you don’t have a Fifties dress to wear with it, put it under any long dress with a full-enough skirt and it becomes a GOWN.  Just perfect to make an entrance at a holiday party. . . .

The full length, high-waist elastic slimming panel and back zipper are all unique. Crinoline netting is sandwiched between two layers of fabric for comfort and a smooth line.

Foundation garments were so important in the past – usually more issues to be considered than even now, like garters and boning.  Their design was a real art and a science.  There are companies now which make “foundation garments” and hosiery in the old style, if you want them.  I ran into one in Australia!
