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.

Now, imagine dressing like this every day . . . . . . .

I love to imagine where this one has or could have been. Smokey nightclubs come to mind. Maybe she was a singer.

Pictured here with a modern skirt, you could also top a dress or slacks with this one. The nice short length is very versatile. Leave it open over a pretty, simple shell or blouse or wear it closed.
Just a little smolder while you sip a red in some small cafe’ . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We’re gearing up for some dressy times in the next few months . . . . .
Here’s a mod version of the little black dress – classic sheath styling, with a sassy stand collar in bugle beads.
