Vintage Fashion
Hello me lovelies!
Phew! We had a lotta rain last night, which was such a relief after an icky sticky day.
Here are some sweet vintage finds I scavenged last w'end.
This sweet 1950's dress needs a new zipper in the under dress. Price $5.00. I need to lose about 2 cm around the waist, or there is enough in the seam allowance to let it out. I think I'll be taking the easier option and letting it out. Ha..ha..ha.
This 1940's silk blouse I did iron for the photo, however I had the iron on slow low as I was afraid to burn it, it didn't really work.
It needs a gentle hand wash, a little bit of repair, then I'll iron again with a cloth over it, hopefully that will work.
I just love it and it cost me a whole $1.00.
The blue in this velvet jacket is deeper in colour than in photo and just needs to be dry cleaned. Price $5.00.
My little dancer's in there new outfits, about to go for their first real dance lesson.
Another scarf day, I was feeling a bit earthy hippie yesterday. To play along or see other scarf wearers, visit Sophie.

Your little dancers are beautiful. Hope their first lesson went well.

Your 'blouse' does not appear to have buttons or buttonholes, leading me to think it is actually part of a negligee set, the 'bedjacket' or cover up to a nice revealing nightie. I love it!!
Hope your girls enjoyed their Dance class.
