TRUE VINTAGE LITTLE BLACK DRESS WITH IT’S OWN BOLERO JACKET – FROM THE 1950’S

IMG_1305This lovely little ensemble was sold by Sears Roebuck & Co. and has their own label inside.  A stream-lined and lovely sleeveless sheath dress with black embroidery on the bodice, with it’s own matching jacket, but in contrasts of black on white.

I have several dresses of this basic design and will show a couple more of them soon.  It was a very practical and elegant style that could go almost anywhere.  Think of how a little hat, nice bag and gloves would dress it up.

Now, imagine dressing like this every day  . . . . . . .

FORWARD 10 YEARS – SAME ERA, TRUE VINTAGE COTTON HOUSE-DRESS FROM THE EARLY 1960’S

IMG_1368Just like the one shown yesterday, I love this style.  It’s so comfy and at-home, but still with classic good looks and wonderful  fabric.  That’s something that can almost always be depended on with true vintage clothing.

In this case, I’m in love with the colors and the soft material.  What could be more comfortable in the warm weather to come?  Easy to wear and the tie waist makes the fit so custom-perfect every time . . . . . . . ..

PRETTY, GIRLY SPRING BLOUSE – TRUE VINTAGE 1950’S

IMG_1382Very sheer, floral print blouse with a bow tie (how old-style can you get?!)  It also buttons up the back, as most better true vintage blouses did.  This one is originally from Canada.

It’s so nice to have the plain front, without buttons.  Pays to be very flexible so that you can button it yourself – but, it’s so nice to have someone to do that for you (a lover, a friend, a lady’s maid . . . . . . . . .)
