Although this lace overlay style has been copied a lot in the last few years, it’s never done as well as this! How unusual to see this deep Wedgwood blue color fully lined in a dusty rosy lilac color.
With a fabric-covered belt and the whole bit – very pretty and feminine. This one is not equipped with netting and under-skirts, but you could put a crinoline underneath if desired.
I watched the film The Theory of Everything last night (the story of Stephen Hawking and his wife), which began in the early ’60’s in England. Lots of dresses like this in those scenes!

This lovely little ensemble was sold by Sears Roebuck & Co. and has their own label inside. A stream-lined and lovely sleeveless sheath dress with black embroidery on the bodice, with it’s own matching jacket, but in contrasts of black on white.
I have several dresses of this basic design and will show a couple more of them soon. It was a very practical and elegant style that could go almost anywhere. Think of how a little hat, nice bag and gloves would dress it up.
Now, imagine dressing like this every day . . . . . . .
