sixsexsix, stunning sailor dress!

I love sailor dresses and i wear the sailor style often in the summer.
Here's my sailor dress. The dress is from the 80's but it is quite simple.

Yay! I hope we get lots more posts on this thread now that it's spring and beach weather is coming. I can't get enough of vintage sailor style!

I have been lusting after Edwardian and 1920s sailor dresses like the ones cherry lips posted... so I put together a "fake" 20s style dress using an antique cotton slip with a 1940s sailor uniform shirt over it. Voila! Instant nautical flapper frock.

Where are they sold, because I have checked her Etsy a few times and can never see that pattern? Maybe I am just being stupid... :D

Hi ladies! I'm so happy a friend pointed me in the direction of this thread. *waves*

I too love sailor dresses, tops, accessories, etc. I have several sailor dresses, a few tops, sweaters and two sailor coats. ;0 Now, I've got to go back through this thread and drool over the items!

Amy Jeanne (+ Lauren) that's gorgeous! I especially like the shorts.
