TRUE VINTAGE LATE 50'S, EARLY '60'S CUSTOM-MADE SILK PARTY DRESS

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

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

VERY SPECIAL AUSTRALIA FIND – UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL COUTURE BLOUSE

IMG_1174This lovely blouse is not true vintage – it is retro, having been made within the past 20 years by a small designer.  I strayed from my usual requirements when I saw it because it reflects so many of the qualities that I love in true vintage garments.

The design is elegant, unusual and reminiscent of fashions from the 1930’s, 1940’s and 1950’s.  The fabric is something like rayon – very pretty – and there are tailoring details which were done by hand.

I can definitely see wearing this with true vintage skirts, slacks and suits.  Those of you who collect and wear vintage like I do know that the closet door is always open for more great shirts and blouses.
