FAB “NEW” FIFTIES FIND! TRUE VINTAGE FROCK FOR FUN

Love it, love it, love it!  What a cute little day dress in charcoal, with white machine embroidery all over and white accents.  With the decorative pockets and a couple of pleats in front, she’d be stepping out in style.

The belt-keepers are also charcoal, so I put a black belt on just for display.  However, I think that a white tie belt similar to the neck tie would look sweet.  A matching belt could always be made from extra fabric in the hem, if that works, too.  We’ll see.

So, late 1950’s or very early 1960’s for this one – just right for a movie date on Saturday afternoon or a little shopping trip.  Take a close-up look at the embroidery.  It’s really special. . . . . . .

A FUN POLISHED COTTON PSYCHEDELIC PRINT TUNIC AND PANTS FROM THE LATE 1960'S

This cute lounging outfit (or hostess set for your patio party) was made by Dash About. There is an embroidered tag inside.

When I found this, I thought it was made in Hawaii because of the fabric, but probably not. It’s just a lovely polished cotton printed in brilliant colors.

The top could even be worn as a mini-dress. I can see Cher in something like this. I just love the print and the peacock hues.

Metal zipper up the back. The pants have an elastic waist, so it’s nothing high-end. But really cute and versatile. You won’t see anything like this around the next corner!

FABULOUS 1930'S - 1940'S SILK PAJAMAS AND ASIAN - INSPIRED BED JACKET

Absolutely fabulous – true vintage movie star nightwear. I always LOVE finding things like this. It’s true fantasy apparel.

There is nothing more luscious to wear than high quality silk. These aren’t top-of-the-line, but they’re a cut above what’s around these days.

And, just look at those PJ’s – can’t you just see Lana Turner or Greer Garson in those? And, the Asian – style bed jacket is full of mystery and intrigue . . . . . . . . . . .

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

This is a dress 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 . . . . . . . . . .
