NEWLY-DISCOVERED MID-CENTURY BLOUSES LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!
At first, I thought that the green/brown blouse on top was a camouflage pattern – but it’s not. It is a 1950’s art print fabric that is so fun! It was commercially-made, with a care tag at the neckline. I love cap sleeve blouses and yesterday’s finds were a real bonanza!
The two on the bottom are identical, excepting for the colors, and undoubtedly were custom-made by the same person, from interesting rayon or rayon-blend fabrics. I’ve shown the back view on the right so that you can see the back buttoning and the interesting seaming.
Like so many mid-century garments, these are sporty and dressy at the same time. I can wear them with shorts or Capri pants, like the ones I found last week, or with a skirt or under a suit jacket. Always smart and elegant, no matter what the occasion. That’s the beauty of true vintage fashion . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. ..

MORE TRUE VINTAGE 1960 FINDS IN NAUTICAL COLORS
Here are 3 of my finds from yesterday. Remember the blouse from a few days ago and how I was talking about the traditional popularity of nautical colors for Spring? Well, here they are again!
The navy and white items were commercially-made and the red polka dot blouse was custom-tailored. Vintage zipper and buttons are fun. The fit is always superior.
Fortunately, I can wear them all and, though they need to be cleaned, that’s no big deal. At the prices I pay in the odd places I find these treasures, any laundering or repair costs are nothing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

MOD CLOTH RETRO SIXTIES DRESS
This is a modern retro-style dress that I wouldn’t usually buy or show, but I’m impressed with how well it has been made so it is worth a nod. Many vintage tailoring details like extra…
