Another of my last year’s finds. When I’m traveling, it’s possible only to photograph things on a hanger; but, now that I have the stellar Stella working with me, I can picture them properly.
This dress is made of a lovely, slinky rayon – probably with a hand (feel) a lot like the real ones from the 1930’s. You can’t beat the drape of a really nice rayon fabric and how it falls over and accentuates the body.
The collar and tie are real stylistic touches from the Thirties era, too, and who can beat that color for the up-coming season? A really nice retro piece is sometimes worth collecting – especially when it’s also true vintage . . . . .

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.
