Could be a Prom – party, wedding or casual summer day dress according to your wish! Love well-made frocks like this one, which has pretty fabric and trim as well as a liner that prevents see-through (excepting for a bit at the midriff and on the sleeves). Just right!
I’m always super-happy to find a gown or long dress of this genre and era. And, in perfect condition. Things just keep getting better . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ok, not terribly exciting – but happy finds for me. The PJ bottoms may be a great partner for an early 1950’s pajama top of a very close color that hangs in my closet. As you can imagine, the color has been difficult to match but the best things are that the fabric on these pants is also very vintage, and they are my size!
The little Kayser nightie will be a favorite. Simple and sweet, easy to sleep in without any fussy decoration (though I love those, too) and lightweight for the coming summer months. Always a fun find and perfect for my everyday wardrobe. What next? Stay tuned . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A fitted (the best) Western-style shirt in cotton blend with a floral wallpaper stripe and a true vintage paisley scarf, maybe both from “Monkey Ward” (see the shirt label and investigate the nickname online – fun). Again in my size, though the blouse size must have been for a girl at that time.
Unusual finds per their fabulous condition. I’ll enjoy wearing them – very much perfect examples of the fashion era when they were made.

Those of you who have been with me for a while might remember a few years ago when I discovered my first 1950’s romper and was so blown away by the rarity of it. Well, now that I’ve come across a second one, well – you can imagine. . . . . . . .
Pure cotton, easy-on and off with button shoulders, elastic waistline and (the best thing!) a snap crotch. Potty breaks are no sweat here! It’s also, again, in my size. This one specifies a 1950’s size 12. That’s me!
So, couldn’t be better. A nice, classic gingham check that will go with everything and just the cutest fit. Can’t wait for the Memorial Day parties and 4th of July. I never know what to expect when I embark on an investigation, so keep my mind open and anticipation high because you just never know . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
