So rare! A blouse from sixty years back, in exceptional condition. I just love these mid-century blouses that are basically proper, but show just a little bit of waistline when you bend or reach up. With a sporty skirt, cigarette pants, capri’s or shorts it’s a classic sexy look for summer.
Hard to see in the photo, but there’s a V cut in the front neckline which is a great little design feature. Buttons up the back. Clothing from California makers has always been trend-setting and attractive in a sporty way. Such a thrill to find it – you just never know . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Sticking with up-scale day frocks and moving forward a couple of decades, look at this fabulous late Sixties frock! These were iconic color combinations from that time.
This size 10 dress on x-small Stella is a good clue to it’s era. The fabric is a glossy rayon & linen blend – a bit dressy, with a nice drape. A pretty day-time sheath with a bit of attitude.
No matter the time of year, the hunt continues and you just never know. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Here’s a lovely retro frock from my collection.
It’s a beautiful re-creation of an early 1900’s up-scale day dress style. Wonderful rayon-type fabric, cut on the bias with all the figure-following qualities that has and very well-tailored. Designers from those early decades really knew how to enhance the figure and the designer of this one (no tag or label) – probably from 1980 – 2000 – did a wonderful job of imitating their style.
I prefer true vintage and don’t usually wear a lot of retro, but this frock was too good to pass by. It’s a sheer dress with it’s own rayon slip underneath. The long necktie that wraps around as a belt is perfect. Of course, it’s also my size . . . .

Thrilled, thrilled, thrilled! One of my favorite finds, from a favorite decade. And, in beautiful condition.
Very popular post-war shirtwaist day dress with pretty, carved rhinestone buttons. This was a day-to-day item for women in the late Forties and early Fifties when nice clothing was becoming available again. The prints were so interestng.
This one was hiding in a big way, but not from the Magicvintagespy. What will show up next? You just never know . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Just LOVE finding these knitwear items that have been so well-preserved for 50 – 60 years!! Unusual finds are always tons of fun.
This shirt was made by a Sears, Roebuck & Co. brand that quit producing in the early 1960’s. Very nicely tailored, with a longer tail (prevents embarrassing views that are all too common today). Hard-to-see in this photo, but the sleeves are a ribbed knit contrast to the flat knit of the body.
These older things all have features and stories to tell that keep revealing themselves. The star item of my recent adventures is coming up tomorrow . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
