TRADITIONAL WHITE SHEER COTTON FROCK FOR SUMMER

Don’t know where this was made, or exactly when, but it’s so classic and beautiful.  White on white hand-done embroidery.  Whisper-light fabric – so cool and delicate.

It does need a slip, but a pretty cotton one in a very plain style would be just right.  Hard to find now, but they used to be made for the warmer seasons.

Again, it’s a versatile thing that could even be a bridal dress.  I’ll just LOVE it this summer!

Love the cap sleeves and superb fit.  The fabric is luscious – medium heavy with glossy stripes.  I wonder what kind of blend it may be?  Those vintage mystery blends created some of the most fabulous materials ever.

Love polka dots and polished cotton!  Stella’s off to the State Fair.

Although this dress isn’t way old, it is true vintage and the classic and fun styling made it worth picking up and wearing.  It’s very reminiscent of summer dresses from the 1950’s and early 1960’s and is made well.

As we go up and down, back and forth through the decades, stay tuned!
