TRUE VINTAGE MID-SIXTIES MOD GRAPHIC CLASSIC DESIGN SLEEVELESS DRESS

Simple, slightly-fitted day-dress – casual or business-ready. You choose. Any style this classic and well-made can stand on its own in a variety of settings.

I have seen a lot of this color combo from the mid-1960’s and it always looks smashing with brown or black leather accessories. Bone will do nicely, too.

Jackie-O or classic Ray-Ban shades and a chunky coordinated necklace or scarf and there you go. Too cliche’? Cinch the waist and go Fifties, wear it with thigh-high boots and a biker jacket or, if you must, throw it over a pair of black leggings. Looks nicer on Madge, but she wasn’t with me when I took the photo.

When it comes to fashion, I tend to be a purist but when it comes to disguise . . . . . . . . . .

A FAVORITE TRUE VINTAGE ALMOST WIGGLE DRESS FROM THE 1950’S

A FAVORITE TRUE VINTAGE ALMOST WIGGLE DRESS FROM THE 1950'S

This is another dress from the 1950’s that I wear often, because I really like the fit. It’s not tight enough to qualify as a true “wiggle dress”, I’d say, but it’s very flattering. And, a fit that’s not too tight is much more versatile and, many would say, even sexier. I think so.

It is really a simple day dress, cut well. The big pearlized buttons are such a fun addition to the style. The slightly-wider belt also accents the waist a little more.

These neutral black/white tones can go any time of year . . . . . . . . . .
