ANOTHER FABULOUS FIND – NOS 100% SILK DRESS FROM THE 1960’S
Love, love, love finding new/old unworn dresses with tags still on. It’s been a week for those.
Always makes me wonder how they found their way into NOW – had they been hanging neglected in an old warehouse, or dreaming the decades away in some lady’s closet, waiting for just the right invitation . . . .
So refined, in dark taupe silk with a fitted shape, below-the-knee hemline and 7/8 sleeves. By a well-known company of the day.
Madge likes it, as you can see, and . … . .. it fits ME! Yes, the vintage faeries have been leading me true lately . . You just never know . . . . . … . . . . . . . . . . ..

TRANSFORMED! A VERY SPECIAL 1930’S BEADED TUNIC
I Can Hear the Jinglebells!
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!
