This dress from the 1950s, made by Lanz, is perfect for a Christmas party! I can just imagine serving eggnog in front of the fire to family and friends. I wore it to a party a couple of years ago (with pearls, of course).
It is a substantial brushed fabric in bright red with a stiff underskirt that makes it poufy when worn. 3/4 sleeves, a scoop neckline, little flowers embroidered in black and a belted wasp waist complete the design.
From what I’ve seen of the Lanz garments, they seem to have been a “preppy” style. Of course, many of the styles made in the ’50’s look preppy! Warm, too. Wish I had a sleigh ride to go on. Very festive!

Fabulous true vintage PJs from the 1950s or early 1960s. How interesting – these have a motif of hand fans but are clearly a boys’ or small men’s style.
It’s got wonderful big plastic buttons, piping on the pocket, cuffs and collar and a vintage label. The beautiful cotton fabric and the print are so cool, you just can’t beat original vintage! Nothing else looks or feels the same.
Lovely to snuggle up in these during the wintry weather . . . .
