Here’s a very pretty cotton shirtwaist style – probably from the early ’60’s, but could be 1950’s. I especially like the fabric, colors and the cut of this one. Although I have lots of nice dresses of similar design, I get more compliments when I wear it.
The dress has a label (it was not custom – made) and a really attractive neckline, to me. The type and cut of the collar is especially flattering. It also has an artistic- shaped asymmetrical belt buckle, rather than a plain rectangular one.
Just goes to show, vintage fashion never gets boring and elegance is never “plain”. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I love the colors of this dress. Blues and violets in a funny, abstract print that looks like computer cards from back in the day. It’s a happy dress that reminds me of the show Happy Days.
There’s no label, so it might have been home-made, but done so well that who would care? I was just watching a movie about swing dancing and saw a lot of frocks that looked like this.
Swing dancing is one of the most joyful things I can imagine . . . . . . . . . .
