NEW AUSSIE FIND! TRUE VINTAGE 1960’S DRESSY BLOUSE IN A RARE FABRIC . . .

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA      Gorgeous 1960’s blouse that was a surprise find.  Unusual in two ways – the fabric is TETORON.  Tetron was a synthetic invented in the late 1950’s with multiple uses, but Tetoron is a bit of a mystery.  It may be related to Tetron, but I can’t find that reference.  I may have a book at home.

Second, the Hibodress label is fascinating.  Established by Holocaust survivor Olga Horak and her husband in the early 1950’s it was popular in Australia for at least two decades.

This blouse is beautifully made, with covered buttons, a pretty paisley print and fabric that has a hand(feel) similar to silk or rayon.  I must look up more about the Tetoron fabric.

So iconic Sixties in many ways, and so beautiful! . . . .

TRUE VINTAGE 1940’S PARTY-WEAR – GREAT BOHO BLOUSE A’LA JANE RUSSELL

Morgana Martin, the magicvintagespy's avatarMagicvintagespy

Original True Vintage Party Dressing (or cafe' boho garb?)

Great black velveteen top from the 40s or, maybe, early 50s. It’s a vintage size 16 (can you imagine! Size 4 me can wear it, though it’s very Jane Russell w/o all the decolletage). Just goes to show how sizes have changed.

The back neckline is a wide scoop. There is a short metal zipper at the waist on left. Imagine this worn with a long sweeping skirt, a pencil skirt or cigarette pants with a wide belt – all black or imaginative color combos. This style can easily go elegant or boho/beatnik.

The style is really flattering & dramatic. The neckline is beautiful left alone or showcasing a necklace or long dangling earrings (not both, please).

Another fabulous example of original true vintage elegance, found unexpectedly. You just never know . . .

TRUE VINTAGE MID-CENTURY CASUAL GINGHAM & MEXICAN SILVER JEWELRY

IMG_0908IMG_0942     These garments are from the mid-century, and a bit difficult to date – especially the blouse.  It almost looks like  a square-dancing  costume.  With jeans or a skirt it’s super-cute.  I love gingham in almost anything and really enjoy wearing these.  It’s so cute and has been classic for decades.

 The real star of this post is the jewelry – from Mexico anywhere from the 1930’s to 1950’s, I’d say.  Beautiful quality in 925 silver and inlaid mother-of-pearl.  Pendant, pins and earrings – they’re great with casual, Western-wear clothing and can be dressed up, too.  They really are of fine quality and workmanship – like nothing I see today.  Looked for something similar in Mexico last year, but these are the winners.

I’ll be going to Chicago this weekend, so will be off-line for a couple of days. Wonder what I’ll discover.  May have some fun things to report when I return!
