A Vintage Dress


A Vintage Dress!

Can you believe this lovely silk dress was thrifted for under $5? Isn't it gorgeous? It was just perfect to wear to an evening wedding that we attended a few weekends ago. I topped it off with two feather hair clips from the kiddie department of Michael's - thanks to a tip about these lovelies from a fellow blogger.

I should have taken a picture of the back of the dress. The fullness of the skirt is at the back where it is knife pleated at the center back. It's really quite a lovely effect. The style of the dress gives such a great hourglass figure. I'd guess that this dress is c. 1950-60s. It reminds me of the TV show 'Mad Men' which is set in the 60s.

  4. I added it through Layout>Add a Gadget, I think it was called My Blogs and lets you create a list of blogs that you like. Let me know if you have trouble figuring it out. ;)
