ANOTHER CUTE COTTON TRUE VINTAGE DAY DRESS FROM THE ’50’S – ’60’S

ANOTHER CUTE COTTON DRESS FROM THE '50'S - '60'S

It’s been so much fun finding all the different styles and prints in this type of frock, which are numerous from that mid-century time. This one has a really nice collar – square over the shoulders and in back. It’s the only one I have with this design – a bit unique.

Sorry that Madge can’t model – she’s just a bit too buxom for some things and side zippers always pose a problem for gals with full figures. When I get home, a new photo on Stella will be on the agenda.

I could live in these during warm weather – there’s nothing easier to wear!

A FAVORITE TRUE VINTAGE DRESS FROM THE LATE '50S - EARLY '60'S BY SWIRL

This dress is one of my favorites from the 1950’s/early 1960’s. I have one or two others, and the style is very distinctive.  Applique’ decorations are a lot of fun on these older items, too.

It was made by Swirl and is a wrap-around. Easy to
wear with a flattering fit. One piece, with a belt that slips through and then ties in front.

I put the bandana bows on the shoulders due to some fade there (a common problem with true vintage items, due to storage) – and I like them! They go great with the cute flower.

Never fails to get compliments.  With some little red sandals, or even Keds . . . . . . . . . . . . .
