TRUE VINTAGE DAY DRESS FROM THE EARLY 1960’S

TRUE VINTAGE DAY DRESS FROM THE EARLY 1960'S

Simpler styles and, often, less fine materials start to become more commonplace in the ’60s. There are still lots of Items that I love from this decade

A simple style is sometimes the most elegant, and you can’t argue with a shapely sheath dress. The material in this one is a looser weave – kind of what they used to call hop sacking (but wasn’t real hop sacking). It’s a nice cut, but the most distinctive thing about it is the embroidered trim. I’ll post another picture directly following this one which shows a more complete view of it.

It’s got a center-back metal zipper and is unlined. Most probably custom tailored. I love the colors. Some seamstress got creative.

When women commonly made their own garments, the individual variations and touches were endless and made each piece unique. That’s why when you’re out there sleuthing and wondering what you’ll find, you just never know . . . . . . . . . .

WE ARE NOW 100! A REAL MILESTONE – THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

     One of you just became my 100th follower.  I am so thrilled and grateful that I can hardly tell you.  

     This is a real milestone for me – it supports what I am doing and tells me that, in addition to having a ton of fun, I’m doing something that others are enjoying, too, and that you find it valuable.

     If any of you are also interested in global consciousness and making our reality and world better for ourselves and everyone else, (Duh – like you wouldn’t be), there was a little book written in the late ’60s or the ’70s entitled The Hundredth Monkey.  It’s based on science, and tells how thoughts and behaviors spread like wildfire from one person to another, faster and faster after the group reaches 100.  Fortunately, positive thoughts and behaviors have much more power to spread than negative ones do.

     We can all change our lives and our world.  Be positive, be happy, see the best in everything and thank you for being 100 with me!!!
