TRUE VINTAGE MID-SIXTIES MOD GRAPHIC CLASSIC DESIGN SLEEVELESS DRESS

Simple, slightly-fitted day-dress – casual or business-ready. You choose. Any style this classic and well-made can stand on its own in a variety of settings.

I have seen a lot of this color combo from the mid-1960’s and it always looks smashing with brown or black leather accessories. Bone will do nicely, too.

Jackie-O or classic Ray-Ban shades and a chunky coordinated necklace or scarf and there you go. Too cliche’? Cinch the waist and go Fifties, wear it with thigh-high boots and a biker jacket or, if you must, throw it over a pair of black leggings. Looks nicer on Madge, but she wasn’t with me when I took the photo.

When it comes to fashion, I tend to be a purist but when it comes to disguise . . . . . . . . . .

TRUE VINTAGE FLORIDA FROCK FROM THE SUNSHINE STATE

TRUE VINTAGE FLORIDA FROCK FROM THE SUNSHINE STATE

Carrying on with sunny colors, this lovely dress was custom – tailored of citrus – hued silk, with a soft, silky lining. The sleeveless drop-waist styling harks back to the 1920’s but, I believe, it was made in the Sixties.

Back closure of the torso with hooks and eyes and a short zipper at the waist. Below-the-knee hem . . . . . . . . .

FROM THE 1960’S – LONG, TALL COLUMN DRESS IN BLACK VELVET

FROM THE 1960'S - LONG, TALL COLUMN DRESS IN BLACK VELVET

This is a recent find, stately and elegant with no fuss or decoration. Just a lovely cut, well-fitting sheath that falls to the floor.

I love black velvet, and this is sumptuous. Not the velveteen that was quite popular during that decade . . . . . .. This dress, I feel sure, was custom-tailored. It’s done very well, but seems to have the hallmarks of hand-construction.

I’ll be keeping this one for a LONG time . . . . . . . . . . .
