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 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

PERFECT DINNER TO DANCING DRESS – TRUE VINTAGE MID-CENTURY
For dinner or after-work cocktails, this little number would fill the bill. Pair it with some matching blue pumps and you’d really be swank.
Simple as can be, but with the neckline decoration and the little vents at the waist, it’s very stylish. And, like a sheath dress, the fit is classic and really flattering.
If you are a DIYer, this style is very simple to sew. I have another very similar in lightweight soft green wool – made by the grandmother of a friend in mid-century, as a 3-season dressy day dress.
Just the thing to have in your closet for that unexpected invitation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

1940’s TRUE VINTAGE ELEGANCE AT HOME
Wonderful dressing gowns from the 1940’s, or maybe even the 1930’s. These are made of rayon with great classic style.
The peachy pink one allows you to sweep into the room with a grand entrance. It has padded shoulders and a little bit of an elongated hem in back – an actual “train”! The flowered one is a little more a’la Blanche Dubois. (A Streetcar Named Desire (play by Tennessee Williams, set in New Orleans – watch it; great movie starring Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando; a classic). Flowered and sweet – very feminine and demure.
Gowns like these are more or less a morning version of the men’s smoking robe. Perfect to wear while enjoying your first cafe’ au lait of the day. . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
