BEAUTIFUL AND SOPHISTICATED FORTIES FROCK – DRESSY ELEGANCE FOR DAY OR EVENING

IMG_1661Gorgeous rayon belted shirtwaist-style with peplum detail and rhinestone buttons.  Perhaps suitable for a Society event and, certainly, for an elegant dinner.

What’s not to love?  The tailoring is lovely and the fit is flattering.  Of course, it’s just right for Stella, with her wasp waist. This is another Post-war design, reflecting the elegance that women were able to enjoy again when WWII was over.  There will be more to come, then –

a variety of mid-century finds that have just appeared . . . . . . . .

IMG_1653Perfect for Fall, perfect for work, school or just gadding about.  A fabulously comfortable, flattering cut and fabric.  Pullover style, easy fit.  Great for dancing!

The material has a beautiful hand (feel) and wonderful drape – like nothing made now.  Synthetics developed around that time revolutionized the clothing industry, and many others.  The colors are so unique and the pattern so interesting.  Just an “everyday” dress from the Forties – I’d love to have a million of them!!

This was another surprise find that blew me away.  It’s part of what makes this all so fun . . . . . . ..
