MY “I LOVE LUCY” DAY DRESS – TRUE VINTAGE FROM THE 1950’S
This will look great on Stella, too, but it holds its own just on a hanger!

Here’s another favorite dress of mine. I call it my “I Love Lucy” dress because it just reminds me of Lucy Ricardo on that show and something that she might wear – a bit of the harlequin!
Another full-skirted wonder in cotton (or maybe a blend – it’s an interesting fabric). I love the weave – so unusual, and colors that look well on me.
I love finding and filling my closets with things that I love to wear and feel really good in. No matter your taste or opinions about fashion, that’s what it’s all about.
I love the uniqueness,quality, glamour, fun and elegance found in true vintage fashion items and that’s one of the ways I make myself happy . . . . . . . . . . . . . always pay attention to yours . . . . . . .. . . . …

MY “I LOVE LUCY” DAY DRESS – TRUE VINTAGE FROM THE 1950’S
A FAVORITE TRUE VINTAGE DRESS FROM THE LATE ’50S – EARLY ’60’S BY SWIRL

This dress is one of my favorites from the 1950’s/early 1960’s. I have one or two others, and the style is very distinctive. Applique’ decorations are a lot of fun on these older items, too.
It was made by Swirl and is a wrap-around. Easy to
wear with a flattering fit. One piece, with a belt that slips through and then ties in front.
I put the bandana bows on the shoulders due to some fade there (a common problem with true vintage items, due to storage) – and I like them! They go great with the cute flower.
Never fails to get compliments. With some little red sandals, or even Keds . . . . . . . . . . . . .
