Wow! Big surprise – I uncovered a trove of 1940’s dresses and a beautifully sumptuous bed jacket, too. I’ll be showing them to you in future – I’ve still got many, many items to photograph and post for you. I’m tickled – you just never know . . . . . . . . .

I absolutely love this shirt and others like it. Sorry I don’t have a male model. The distinguishing feature is the embroidery on the left side. These little designs are so much fun. Some are really creative!
Men sometimes wear long sleeves in the summer, so I consider this a year-round garment. Especially when it’s in a lighter color. It can be dressed up with a sport coat.
Some shirts of this type have multi-colored designs. Usually the fabric has a bit of sheen and the embroidery is glossy. You can tell by a quick look that it is a quality original item and not a modern imitation.
I LOVE to find them! Would have adored being a curator of wardrobe for Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer or Warner Bros. back in the day.
It’s even more fun to go to the closet and decide which movie to play in today . . . . . . . . .

Dearly beloved,
Thank you so much for your loyalty. Although I don’t do a lot of Internet communicating because of other commitments, I know every time you have stopped and LIKED one of my posts. I enjoy and respond to all of your comments. Many of you are also bloggers and have wonderful sites. You must remember this – I wish you all the best of success and hope we get better acquainted as time goes by . . . . . . . . . .
Stuck in the ’70’s for a day or two – this skirt is an example of a popular style from the middle of the 1970’s. The skirt wraps around with a long tie belt and has a design sewn on one side.
This one was made by JOYCE. According to my experience, they made nice sportswear, including shoes. I think that the label is long gone, or they merged with another company.
If you could zoom in on the design, you would see that it has been stitched on by machine. This is still a very well-made item (don’t you love the little ruffle around the hem?) but not up to the standard of 20 years before, like we just saw in my FINDERS’ CLUE photo.
Oh, well – it’s still the cutest thing ever and worth collecting. VERY Country Club, with a nice little blouse which I’ll be showing later . . . . . . . .
