2 1980’s does 1940’s DAY DRESSES

IMG_3870

Just found – I sometimes like TVR (true vintage retro-at least 30 years old and made in a retro style) garments if they are well-done.  I’ve recently found quite a few.

In this case, we’ve got a south-of-the-border print dress made by Brownstone Studio (a “better” modern brand) with true-to-the-Forties style and a lightweight rayon print shirt-waist in my favorite dark navy and white that kind of flutters as you walk.

For everyday, when I don’t want to have to be concerned about safeguarding a precious true vintage garment while I’m living life, these are just right.

A DISCO DANCE DIVA DISCOVERY FROM THE 1970’S

Yes, at first glance this looks like so many cheesy LBD’S made today and that’s why some discriminatory powers are important to develop.  I can tell when something is true vintage or no…

NEW FIND! STELLA IS A 1950’S SWEATER-GIRL

LOVE this new find!  True vintage sweaters are so rare and this one is in very good condition.  In a color that I can wear well (+++!) I’ll enjoy it for years.  The fit is very fetching, in the popular Fifties style, enhancing not only the bust-line but also the waist, too.  The sleeves fit well and it has a small basket-weave knit pattern.  What could be better?!

Cute sweaters are made now, but nothing fits better than a vintage knit – especially from eras when there was a strong sense of body-conscious fit and the 1950’s was certainly one of them.  I love the va-va-voom disguise as much as anyone so – here goes . . . . . . . . . . .

Aren’t these the sweetest things!  Just love them.  Nothing much is cuter than 1960’s shoes.  Very Audrey Hepburn.

The Joyce company made nice sportswear during the 1960’s – worth a pick-up if you find anything true vintage by that label.  As always, be wary of cheaper latecomers . . . . . . . . .
