VERY PRETTY TRUE VINTAGE MOD MID-SIXTIES DAY DRESS – ANOTHER “NEW” DISCOVERY!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA     In a lovely fabric that looks like linen, this dress would have gone to church, to work, shopping or on a date.  It’s a simple, a-line style – so popular then – with stylish seaming around the bust-line and a fold-over collar.

Plus, there is a full lining.  Although this frock can be casual, it is very elegant.  Today it’s difficult to find any dress that would meet these standards unless it is custom-tailored by an expert.

You can see why I love sleuthing for treasures like this one . . . . . . ..

FABULOUS TRUE VINTAGE TANK BATHING SUIT - 1940'S - 1950'S

Like the last suit posted, this one has two layers. The way they used to do the little brief or shorts underneath was such a figure-enhancer for most women.

Almost like a tankini, but all in one piece. Look at those great design details, too. You won’t see that on modern suits, nor the exceptional construction.  Black & white makes another appearance for Spring and Summer, as always.

Just right for sitting beside the pool, under a big sun-hat, with a Mai-Tai . . . . . . . . .

IMG_0993IMG_0994Really pretty outfits, now that we’re definitely into Spring and flowers are coming up.  I have combined more modern vintage skirts with sheer true vintage 1950’s blouses.  The pink leather peep-toe slingback pumps are ’80’s or early ’90’s does ’40’s – Nina brand. (’90’s – I have a hard time calling that “vintage” , though some people do) since I love the old classics much more.  The slips are true vintage and the silk dress is authentic 1940’s or 1930’s, too.IMG_0995FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
