This was a fabulous find – not too dressy, but certainly a step up from some of the little day dresses I’ve shown recently.
Cotton, again – one of the most versatile and perfect fabrics for most attire 50 or 60 years ago. No one was afraid of an iron, and most women expected their clothing to last a lot longer than one season.
This is a snazzy little number, though possibly custom tailored. It shows off the mentality of women who had gotten tired of war-time deprivation and modest conservatism a decade or so before.
Although it took us a while, girls have always just wanted to have fun . . . . . . . . . . . .

So now we’re getting into the closet where I store my favorite daily items, which I wear regularly. This beautiful dress is so light and cool – perfect for hot weather.
By Carlye – it’s two layers on top but still needs a slip. Good chance to wear some of my lovely vintage lingerie.
Lots of little design touches that make it unique – pleats and tucks, shoulder detail in the cut of the collar – that’s what’s so delightful about true vintage styles. This may not be a one-off, but I KNOW I’ll never see another one like it.
There are many ways to discover treasure . . . . . . . .
