TRUE VINTAGE 1950’S – BEST CHRISTMAS HOUSE-PARTY FROCK

IMG_0101
This dress from the 1950s, made by Lanz, is perfect for a Christmas party!   I can just imagine serving eggnog in front of the fire to family and friends.  I wore it to a party a couple of years ago (with pearls, of course).

It is a substantial brushed fabric in bright red with a stiff underskirt that makes it poufy when worn. 3/4 sleeves, a scoop neckline, little flowers embroidered in black and a belted wasp waist complete the design.

From what I’ve seen of the Lanz garments, they seem to have been a “preppy” style. Of course, many of the styles made in the ’50’s look preppy! Warm, too. Wish I had a sleigh ride to go on. Very festive!
