I just love this dress, with the big bow and button in front. The colors are so sunny and really stand out!
It’s made of a heavy cotton that doesn’t show through, but I like to wear a comfy nylon slip under and this lovely orange one from the 1950’s just fills the bill. I really like wearing lingerie that matches my outfit and the fifties were famous for their bright undergarment colors (especially in slips).
With a fabric-covered belt it fits nicely and looks cute as well as lady-like. Just depends on which way you want to go . . . . . . . . . . . .

3 favorite shirts of mine. Many take-offs have been made and are in the marketplace now, but these are better. I always say that, but it’s true!
Shirt #1 is from the late ’70’s. It’s a retro style in a really nice drapey rayon. I love the parrot and the vibrant colors, plus the way it fits. It has little shoulder pads and a flattering cut. The stripes are reminiscent of vintage bowling shirts.
Shirt #2 has lost its label, but because of the styling I’ll guess it’s ’70’s but it might be ’50’s. It’s a
Western-style shirt with pearlized snap closures and yokes front and back. In gingham, of course!
Blouse #3 is by Ship’n’Shore – that old vintage stand-by maker of lovely cotton blouses. This one is printed with stylized scenes from Europe. Because of the design, I’m also sure that it was made in the late ’60s…
