ANOTHER FABULOUS FIND – NOS 100% SILK DRESS FROM THE 1960’S

ANOTHER FABULOUS FIND - NOS 100% SILK DRESS FROM THE 1960'S

Love, love, love finding new/old unworn dresses with tags still on. It’s been a week for those.

Always makes me wonder how they found their way into NOW – had they been hanging neglected in an old warehouse, or dreaming the decades away in some lady’s closet, waiting for just the right invitation . . . .

So refined, in dark taupe silk with a fitted shape, below-the-knee hemline and 7/8 sleeves. By a well-known company of the day.

Madge likes it, as you can see, and . … . .. it fits ME! Yes, the vintage faeries have been leading me true lately . . You just never know . . . . . … . . . . . . . . . . ..

TRUE VINTAGE SUIT OR 2 PC. DRESS FROM THE ’40’S – ’50’S

TRUE VINTAGE SUIT OR 2 PC. DRESS FROM THE '40'S - '50'S

What a cute little 3-season outfit with a fantastic hourglass shape. I always love these!

It’s a late ’40’s to early ’50’s style, with little shoulder pads and beautiful tailoring. Although it is unlined and not haute couture, it’s very nicely done and has those wonderful design details that even continue on the back of the jacket.

The ever-popular pencil skirt goes with almost anything. This could be worn as a dress, as separate pieces or as a suit. I see it with a little white blouse or shell underneath, jacket open.

At a time when women were finding their fashion feet again and, actually, going wild with style! Clothing from this era is beautiful and fun to find. Notice that the tags are still on this one – I love surprise discoveries like this. Keep sleuthing because, you just never know . . . . . . . . . . .
ALSO, I’LL BE TRAVELING FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS SO THE POSTS MAY BE A LITTLE BIT WONKY BUT, NO WORRIES, THE INVESTIGATION GOES ON AND I WILL REPORT REGULARLY.
