Happy Valentines Day! I tried to find Valentines Day colored clothing from my online store for this post. Among them a 1920's dress, a 1950's dress, a 1960's dress, 1960's lingerie, and a 1940's bathing suit! Treat yourself to something special today, even if it's just some chocolates!
Everytime I watch this movie, I think, these are the clothes I would wear if it was the 60's now. All three ladies have a great sense of fashion, kind of a sophisticated practical glamour. It's no surprise Helen Rose was the fabulous costume designer for this film. I posted my favorite outfit each of the leading ladies wears in the movie. I love Stella Stevens style in the bowling scene. She looks cuter than ever, but also sexy in a tight white sweater and an orange curve hugging skirt. Then there's Dina Merrill in an elegant 1960's coat with a fur collar, matching hat and gloves of course. Finally we have Shirley Jones in an absolutely gorgeous green 1960's dress. Actually I added one extra pic of Shirley in a cute yellow brocade dress, but this photo was really added because I love the fake fruit stand to the left of her! Where can I get one of those?
Wow, I'm so behind in blogging! I did put a ton of new vintage clothing, swimsuits, etc on my website though! If you would like more info on any of the items, just click on my link near the top left of the blog. Here are a few of the pics. There's a 1950's sun suit, a 1920's dress, a black 1950's swimsuit with red buttons, a 1960's dress with pink flowers, and a pink 50's party dress.
From my trip to Hawaii! The first is on my wedding day, wearing my pink satin 1930's dress! I paired it with some vintage satin shoes. The middle picture is in front of the Royal Hawaiian hotel. I'm wearing my green summery 1960's dress, and holding my 1940's purse. Lastly is my sunbathing photo featuring my prized halter neck 1950's bathing suit! I tried to cover all my favorite decades. Don't you love the vintage surfer girl photo? So cute. I actually did try surfing in Hawaii, but my hair didn't look as good as hers! I guess wipe outs aren't good for fancy hair-dos!
I got a bunch of great vintage dresses over the past couple weeks. Not all of them fit me just right, so they're going up on my website. Here are some of the photos! I think my favorite is the red 1950's dress, but I also love the blue 1960's dress and the 60's babydoll nightie. So cute.
I was lucky enough to score some cute vintage dresses off a lady I met a while back. This is my favorite. She purchased this black party dress in the 1960's, and only wore it a couple times. It's in perfect condition except for a weird stain on the back of the dress. Lucky it's not that noticeable since the dress is black. The stain is almost a burgundy color, and I can't figure out what it's from. Strange. Anyhow, this vintage dress is absolutely adorable. It has a cute little matching belt, and I love the way the skirt puffs out. Unfortunately, it's a tiny bit too big for me so I may have to sell it. Or I could just add it to my collection of beautiful pieces that I can't wear, but can't bear to part with!
