with a couple of mid-century midi-length slips that I just found.  Yes, I have tons, but always pick up good examples when I discover them.

By Miss Elaine and ? they’re not the oldest of old, but still good examples of mid-century quality and that wonderful-feeling nylon that was definitely a product of it’s time.

We get more interesting and surprising.  Stay tuned . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A breezy cotton frock in a nice print – I like the focus on the upper bodice and at the hem. It’s a figure-enhancing style that creates an hourglass shape.  I really must have Stella show it off some time.

The skirt is not completely full, but it sways and billows nicely. Looks great with casual heels. Love it!  I’ts a great go-to day dress for 3 seasons . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

These lovely sandals are very fine, in beautiful kid suede. They have tiny peep-toes – a favorite feature of mine – and sling-back heels.

What a fabulous addition to any 3-season dress or perky pants outfit!

MORE TREASURE – PRETTY MID-CENTURY (1960’S & 1950’S) NIGHTGOWNS

IMG_3869

Whenever I encounter beautiful examples of sleepwear lingerie from this era, I always bring them home.  Although I love the pj’s, knee-length gowns are another favorite. While made of the same type of wonderful nylon, the gowns usually have more elaborate and prettier decoration.

The Fifties saw mostly pastel pieces similar to the one on right, though sometimes in red or black.  During the Sixties bright colors were popular, as on the left.  This was kind of backward to how lingerie slips were made – go figure.

Anyway, there was no debate or stopping-to-think-about-it for me, but always nice to know all about it . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
