SUNNY TRUE VINTAGE FLOWER POWER FORMAL FROM THE SIXTIES

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA     This custom-tailored lovely was made for a formal dance sometime in the late sixties.  Polyester georgette on top, with a glossy skirt and covered belt.  As hot as it’s been lately, I could see wearing this to a Homecoming dance!

I really miss having Madge and Stella with me when I travel, but found a pretty successful way to present this one and it’s sisters that I discovered with it. (See yesterday’s post and tomorrow . . . . .)

Pretty and cheerful floral print in Mod era colors – so popular at that time.  Maybe a Prom dress?  Who knows . . . . .

I have so many “new” finds to share with you! This frock is one of them, and the shoes to go along – not an original set, but they complement each other fabulously. The pumps have fabric-covered uppers and are vintage Naturalizer, same era.

Yesterday I did not mention re: the mink-trimmed dress that it has THREE (yes, 3!) sets of strap-holder loops sewn in the neckline. Front, shoulder and back to keep your lingerie out of sight. If that isn’t quality and elegance, I don’t know what is! Most of my nice true vintage dresses have this feature.

This illustration of vintage bras (a newer picture, from a recent issue of Energy Times, believe it or not) is fun and probably exactly what Stella would be wearing under any of the dresses I’ve shown recently. Fun for a Madonna concert, maybe, but can’t imagine wearing one . . . . .
