YES, GISELLE IS BACK – JUST IN TIME TO MODEL MY LATEST FIND . . . . . . . .
A Mod knit shift dress from the 1960’s or early ’70’s by Mynette – a company which, I think, always specialized in larger size “Plus” clothing for women. The original owner safety-pinned in some little strips that were sold as strap-holders back in the day. Lots of women put them in dresses that didn’t already have them – very useful, like detachable dress shields. Very frequently used during the mid-century.
I’ve put a belt on, but it’s cute just straight, too. It’s the second time I’ve run into this familiar label recently. Fun!

’60’s – ’70’s RETRO 1940’s HIGH-WAIST GORED SKIRT
NOT AS OLD AS I USUALLY LIKE, BUT WHEN I SAW THIS I SAID TO MYSELF “I’LL WEAR THIS A LOT!” NEEDS A LITTLE CLEANING, BUT NO BIG DEAL.
SOOOO, IT’S BEEN ADDED TO MY CLOSET AND BECOMES MORE VERSATILE EVERY TIME I LOOK AT IT. STYLES LIKE THIS WERE REALLY POPULAR IN THE LATE 1960’S AND EARLY 1970’S AND, OF COURSE, DURING THEIR FIRST(?) INCARNATION IN THE 1940’S.
STILL HAVEN’T LOOKED AT IT WITH ALL OF MY BLOUSES AND JACKETS – WHICH ONES? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

LOVE RED – ESPECIALLY WHEN IT’S BAKELITE . . . . . . . .
Can’t say for positive-positive, but I have my suspicions. Absolute confirmation can require a chemist’s lab but, anyway, what a cute little bangle bracelet this will be for summer …

LOVE RED – ESPECIALLY WHEN IT’S BAKELITE . . . . . . . .
Can’t say for positive-positive, but I have my suspicions. Absolute confirmation can require a chemist’s lab but, anyway, what a cute little bangle bracelet this will be for summer – or any time.
Love the shape. Love the color. Love the mystery. What could be better?

A BEAUTIFUL 1930’S BLACK VELVET EVENING HANDBAG
In such good condition, too! That was one of the biggest reasons that I grabbed this, though I do have some others that are similar. The inside is also very clean and undamaged PLUS I can see the maker’s name stamped inside, though it wouldn’t be readable in a photograph. It;s also got little amber-colored “jewels” decorating the snap clasp.
It’s just a small evening bag large enough to carry the essentials (the 1930 essentials, that is) such as lipstick, a comb, some money and a key – oh, maybe some rouge and a hankie, too. Forget the cell phone.
Maybe there might be room for a miniaturized transmitter and camera, in a pinch. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
