Casual 1930's Dress

I just bought this cute 1930's dress online! I've always wanted a casual type 30's outfit, as most of my 1930's dresses are quite dressy and I only wear them for special occasions. This one is perfect for everyday. I love the sailor/anchor print and the little tie at the neck. I also love that it looks like you're wearing a skirt and shirt, but really it's a dress!

Vintage Winter Wear - 1930's



I really need to get some winter vintage clothes! My summer 1930's dresses aren't cutting it anymore. I just love the long skirts of the 1930's. Classy and perfect for winter time. If I could find one of these with a matching coat I'd be set!

1930's Fashion on Film - China Seas







I've been on a bit of a Jean Harlow kick lately! Anyhow, I thought I'd watch China Seas, as I hadn't seen it in awhile. Wow! I'd forgotten how stunning her wardrobe is in this film! I think this movie actually has some of the most gorgeous 1930's dresses and suits I've ever seen her in! It was no surprise when I looked up the costume designer for the film and saw that it was Adrian! No wonder! I posted photos of all the outfits I could find, but there were still more I couldn't find pics of. My favorite outfit is the fully striped dress with matching hat, pictured on the 2nd to last photo. I just wish I knew what colors it was! Did you know Jean Harlow wore a wig for this film, because her hair was so damaged from bleaching? All I have to say about that is, that's one gorgeous wig!

1930's Fashion on Film - Libeled Lady





The 1930's dresses in this film are pure Hollywood glamour. Then again, how can you not have glamour when Jean Harlow and Myrna Loy are in a film together? This movie displays some amazing 1930's gowns, furs and hats. My favourite is the wedding dress Jean Harlow wears at the beginning of the film. I couldn't find a full length photo of it, but I'm sure you can imagine. A long, creamy bias cut satin gown that looked absolutely stunning on her. I will keep searching for a picture!
