Here's my black vintage suit. This is one of my favourites!
Everything is second hand, except the pearl necklace.
I found this 40's jacket from a dumpster, i love it!

You look amazing, and that must be the best dumpster find ever!

Jirina...you look like you stepped right out of a 1940's film! Just glamorous!

Terrible picture of me and terrible picture in general. But we were just leaving the fair and I'd been snapping pictures of everyone, so at the last minute I wanted at least one of me :)

newest favourite - vintage 1940s rayon long evening gown, bought at the June 2010 Deco Show and Sale in SF, first time worn last Saturday on the USS Hornet at the Glenn Miller Orchestra dance! This gown is a lovely medium raspberry shade with old gold and dusty aqua beading, though it is photographing coral here for some strange reason

two quick pics taken at the Deco showing the full length of the dress and the back:

two pics taken at the USS Hornet dance; dress worn with my vintage American Optical 40s eyeglasses, vintage jewelry, fur, gloves and purse, and period appropriate repro undergarments worn to get that 40s silhouette:

One of my favourite dresses is my 1930s black satin, bias evening gown. It has amazing metal gold thread flowers embroidered on the sleeves (it's actually a metal thread) and gold fabric stitched into the sleeves as a contrast with gold fabric I have never seen anywhere else. I wore it to dinner on the recent Queen Mary event in May. I will post more of my fav things soon.

Here are some pics:

A swing dance ball. They just don't make flowy satin like that anymore :(
