SAVED MY FAVORITE FOR “THE DAY” – SWEET 1950’S TRUE VINTAGE PARTY FROCK
Have fun!

This one is my very favorite – in a silvery plum. I think Peggy Lee would have loved performing in this.
Your regular boyfriend can escort you around in this one, but he’d better be prepared for the competition . .. . . . . . . .

PRETTY FOR PROM, BUT I WOULDN’T KICK HER OUT OF THE ST. VALENTINE’S DANCE, WOULD YOU?
TRUE VINTAGE LATE 50’S, EARLY ’60’S CUSTOM-MADE SILK PARTY DRESS
Yes, I keep pulling out my red dresses for St. Valentine’s, but hey – who cares if it’s “traditional” – they’re FABULOUS!

This luscious dress is another that Madge can’t wear, because of the side zipper at the waist. Soon, I want to put it (and several others like it) on Stella! A hanger doesn’t do it justice, but imagine it as it fits – with a fitted waist and very full skirt.
Of 100% silk, with gold accents all over. I believe that it is Asian silk and was probably custom-tailored there for someone from the “West” who was vacationing or living there for a time.
It’s a beautiful dress and I gasped when I discovered it – it also fits me! What a perfect frock for a Valentine’s party or a really special date.

GORGEOUS AND LUXURIOUS 1930’S – 1940’S SLEEPWEAR FOR ST. VALENTINE’S NIGHT
SWEET DREAMS, SWEETHEARTS . . . . .

There’s nothing like a silk or fine nylon gown against the skin. These also have beautiful lace on the bodices.
If you dream of being in the movies, here’s your wardrobe. These are real special prizes of mine.
Forget all the lace and frills on anything modern; one of these gowns will give you complete amnesia.
Have a lovely day, and night . .. . . . . . . . . . . ..

BUT, RED AND PINK ARE JUST NOT MY COLORS! ST. VALENTINE’S DAY 1950’s COCKTAIL DRESS IN MOCHA
BUT, RED AND PINK ARE JUST NOT MY COLORS! ST. VALENTINE’S DAY 1950’s COCKTAIL DRESS IN MOCHA
Nice to break out of the mold. This one is a favorite of mine, ANY time of year!

Yes, of course there are some people who can’t or won’t wear red or pink. What to do for this hearts & flowers holiday?
Well, beiges are always a smart alternative when you don’t want to go the black route (though I will be showing some of those again soon, too). This one is a beautiful, glowing mocha that flatters like crazy!
The fabric is unusual – some kind of rayon or blend with a nice drape and gorgeous sheen. Wide scoop necks and nipped waists are favorites.
Although not a set, I might combine this little lace-overlay jacket with it for some venues. A simple cashmere cardigan, beautiful shawl or a true vintage fur would all work nicely.
Of course, in the frigid, below zero night temperatures common in many places right now, a more substantial topper will be necessary. No worries, Agent Cupid, I’ve got you covered …
