Thank you, Vintage Betty! I am crossing my fingers that this dress fits me properly! LOL The dress was only 60.00, LOL, but I figure that's less than some new things on the market today and it comes with priceless history and it's exciting to know that some other woman who lived back in those days wore this...I will wonder what she looked like, what she was like...yada yada!!


Yes, I think my wallet is going to be draining!

" Er...I, um, I know...this is the Powder Room but I have a question:

I just purchased a Stratoliner Hatbox on ebay a couple of days ago. The seller also had a 50's black wiggle dress and an early edition of Winnie the Pooh on sale so I asked her to just ship them with the hatbox.

Obviously I won't wear a black wiggle dress. (blush)

So, :drum:, should I post this in Classifieds?

Would it, ummmh, be an item of interest to any of the Ladies of the Lounge?" :eusa_doh: (He's beginning to perspire...)
(Greeted by stares and silence, he....sheepishly retreats from the room, never to be seen again.)

Please post it in the Classifieds!!! We gals can never have too many black wiggle dresses. This gal can't, anyway. Time to plug in the electric fan?

Goldwyn Girl, you and I have such similar tastes I think - I drool over everything you buy and wear! Fabulous!

 

[Vintage Betty]

But before he can leave, he feels a tap on his shoulder.

"Mr. Carter" purrs a quiet voice, "I'd be very interested in that black dress of yours".

He quickly turns around, and meets Vintage Betty.
She's shorter than he realized. She reaches into her clutch, and pulls out a matchbook. With a small bridge pencil in her hand, she quickly writes her name in the matchbook with the words "PM me".

And before she leaves, she whispers to him, I promise to be very very good to that dress."

With that, she smiles coyly, gives him a little tilt of the head, and walks back to the ladies, in her stilettos that reek of a time past, but not forgotten.

Thank you pattygoody, it is 50's, Novelty prints were very popluar at that time.

ShortClara, what a lovely thing to say

Sorry for the disjointed pictures, I'm not too handy with the self-timer. But here is my gorgeous hand-made dress I found for $5 (!!) at a thrift store. The beading needs a bit of loving restoration, but it's the most beautiful flame color and it is otherwise in exquisite condition. And it fits me like a glove!

 

[leaette]

ohhhhhhhhh how pretty! looks like the person who made it put a lot of time into it. that would be perfect for a fall wedding.

 

[RetroModelSari]

What a wonderfull dress!!!

 

[Foofoogal]

I responed to KatyLouise. I wonder what happened to my post?

 

[goldwyn girl]

katylouise, fabulous find and I love the colour.
