ANOTHER MID-CENTURY DRESS ENSEMBLE EXAMPLE – A STEP UP ON THE ELEGANCE LADDER
TRUE VINTAGE LITTLE BLACK DRESS WITH IT’S OWN BOLERO JACKET – FROM THE 1950’S
TRUE VINTAGE LITTLE BLACK DRESS WITH IT’S OWN BOLERO JACKET – FROM THE 1950’S
This lovely little ensemble was sold by Sears Roebuck & Co. and has their own label inside. A stream-lined and lovely sleeveless sheath dress with black embroidery on the bodice, with it’s own matching jacket, but in contrasts of black on white.
I have several dresses of this basic design and will show a couple more of them soon. It was a very practical and elegant style that could go almost anywhere. Think of how a little hat, nice bag and gloves would dress it up.
Now, imagine dressing like this every day . . . . . . .

MID – CENTURY TRUE VINTAGE ELEGANCE: WHAT REALLY MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
BARBIES AND KENS FROM THE MID -1960’S – VINTAGE McCALL’S PATTERNS FOR HANDMADE ENSEMBLES
Anyone ever see these vintage dolls? Very different from modern Barbies, and the clothing and accessory outfits made for them were astounding! Full of details and all kinds of extra pieces.
Of course, handicrafters would get in on the trend, and grandma’s have always made clothing for their little grand-daughters’ dolls. Look at the pattern pieces – kind of like the sarong, which is nothing but a plain rectangle but can be wrapped into the most exotic and shapely dresses.
It’s kind of fun to see the mid-century styles on this fantasy icon – THE BARBIE-DOLL!!

FORWARD 10 YEARS – SAME ERA, TRUE VINTAGE COTTON HOUSE-DRESS FROM THE EARLY 1960’S
Just like the one shown yesterday, I love this style. It’s so comfy and at-home, but still with classic good looks and wonderful fabric. That’s something that can almost always be depended on with true vintage clothing.
In this case, I’m in love with the colors and the soft material. What could be more comfortable in the warm weather to come? Easy to wear and the tie waist makes the fit so custom-perfect every time . . . . . . . ..
