I’ve coveted and cherished the desire for more of these for quite some time – and here they are! The color is not fushia, as in the photo, but a nice lipstick red and they fall to the ankle on me, as they should.
I just love how these “pants” (hard for me to think of them that way) looked on Katherine Hepburn and Rita Hayworth back in the Forties. The slim waists and hip-hugging cut is so flattering and the easy legs are so comfortable.
What a pleasure to discover them, and in my favorite RED. I’m really on a roll with that! Must be the spirit of the Holidays . . . . . . . . . . .

I just love the satin cummerbund on this demure but dressy style from the early Eighties. It will look smashing on Madge, with her curvy figure.
Knee-length and sedate, this dress is nevertheless a knock-out. Black crepe is always classic and perfect. Black satin touches always ramp it up a notch for dressy occasions and certainly make this one appropriate for the holidays.
It’s also unusual to find a dress like this with long sleeves and that’s a real plus for certain occasions and for cold weather. Modern dressy black dresses, unless they’re cheaply made, frumpy or uber-conservative, never seem to have them and I’m always pleased with this option in a quality frock.
Leave it to true vintage garments to provide all the best that you could want from clothing, if you’re savvy and sneaky enough to find them . . . . .
