Isn’t this one a beauty?! Another of my “new” finds this winter, when I had a sudden rush of discovering little black dresses from this particular era, most with these interesting drapes of black chiffon.
It’s a keeper for sure! Though a little long, it fits like a dream and, of course, is very well-tailored. Love the bodice treatment and little cap sleeves. The very svelte sheath fit makes up for the poufiness around the hips. Now I just need to find a cocktail party . . . .

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!

Isn’t this cute? Someone custom-sewed it back in the day. Love the flippy skirt and overall easy style. Neat find!
Not much else to say, but the photos will keep on coming. Stay tuned . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
