BEAUTIFUL AND SOPHISTICATED FORTIES FROCK – DRESSY ELEGANCE FOR DAY OR EVENING
TRUE VINTAGE LATE 1940’S SWISHY FALL DAY DRESS
A TRUE VINTAGE HEAVY KNIT 1950’S – EARLY 1960’S AUTUMN SWEATER-JACKET
Too Cool for School . . . . . . .
A find from out West last time I went, this is my second jacket of this type. It’s made of a very heavy synthetic fiber – probably an acrylic, and has a real Happy Days feel to me – and unisex appeal.
I love the abstract geometric designs on these and the bright Fall colors on this one. Warm and attention-getting. Wear them with slacks, jeans ,leggings or they can even go over a skirt or sheath dress. . . . . . .
I haven’t even seen any vintage-inspired lookalikes made for these – at least nothing that could be remotely convincing that it’s real.
But, if you are a skilled investigator, you wouldn’t be fooled . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A TRUE VINTAGE HEAVY KNIT 1950’S – EARLY 1960’S AUTUMN SWEATER-JACKET
TRUE VINTAGE 1940’s BLACK CREPE DRESS WITH METALLIC EMBELLISHMENTS
TRUE VINTAGE 1940’s BLACK CREPE DRESS WITH METALLIC EMBELLISHMENTS
Elegant, elegant, elegant – classic black crepe with metallic chevron shapes all over. This frock has heft and presence! I especially love the design of the neckline, which closes with buttons at the nape of the neck.
The weight of the decoration shapes the drape of the crepe (ooh, I’m a poet!) by keeping it close to the body. The cut is slim and narrow, anyway, with skinny sleeves and a side zipper. Perfect mid-century size 10.
Definitely dressy – it wasn’t wasted on a trip to the grocery! Perfect for dinner or an important affair. Alas, this is not the original belt though changing it from this buckled style to a plain black crepe-covered style or a chain belt will alter the feel of the dress to fit the mood or the place I’m headed. Picture it . . . . . . . . . .
