Although another similar style to the floral one which is so flattering, this dress has a slightly different fit and does not give off the same secuctive vibe as the other.
This one is a little more no-nonsense, but very pretty and smart. It’s also got buttons with rhinestones (very popular on early ’50’s dresses).
I’m not exactly sure of its age, but can easily place it between that 1945 – 1955 space. It’s another that you can enjoy wearing one of of your beautiful slips underneath.
I can’t have too many of these, either. So easy in every respect, though of course it requires careful attention when being laundered, as do all of my treasures . . . . . . . .

I’ve shown a circle skirt or two before. Here’s one of my favorites! In a farm theme print, with colors that segue into Fall. Novelty prints on old fabrics are wonderful!!
Coral color is a favorite of mine. This blouse is not really old (1970’s or maybe 1960’s). I dyed it, because I had other blouses of the same hue. Turned out a PERFECT match for this skirt!
Soft cotton from years of wear and washing – I believe that the skirt is home sewn, but very well. It has an inside tab at the waist that buttons, with two choices for size. At the sides, there are tabs that pull through two rings, allowing you to tighten the waist to fit. One side pocket.
Simple design, easy wear. I really love the adjustability of the waistline.
The print shows horses and wagons and trees, a barn. I wear this all Summer, but it doesn’t look too summery to wear all Fall, until it gets too cold. Would go nicely with a sweater.
I found this one hiding at a friend’s place. It pays to check around because you just never know . .. . . . . .

This one just turned up by surprise! and, I’ve worn it a lot ever since. It’s a favorite of mine. Love the print! Madge can’t wear it because of the side zipper and she’s got SHOULDERS! I look forward to re-photographing it on Stella.
A basic cotton day-dress from the ’50’s. I’ve forgotten whether it has a label in it or not (and I’m too busy to go look!) Doesn’t matter – I love it whether it was custom-tailored or commercially made.
There are some garments that you can put on, like the one I showed yesterday, and it says YES! when you look in the mirror. That should always be the criterion whenever you buy ANYTHING!
This one feels good to wear and to look at. That’s just the way it is. All my wardrobe items feel good for their own reasons. The ones like this one are those that find their way to my everyday closet.
The standards are different for everyone. Learn what yours are and always listen to that voice of intuition . .. . . .
