Glad we got that out of the way! Now these pics show recent purchases, namely 3 1930's dresses.
This velvet dress doesn't actually have a belt, I am cheating by wearing modern brooch. The rest of the jewelery is modern too, bought in Accessorize. The bag is vintage, a Whiting & Davis. The dress doesn't have a label. Black is not great on me, but I got it for a good price, the fit is nice, so I hope to be able to make it work.
In terms of wearing a colour not so great on me here I score again with this embroidered net dress in a peach/ light salmon/ light pumpkin shade. This one fits even better. It didn't come with a slip so I am trying now to establish what colour I should wear underneath to make it more flattering. I posted more pics of it in the colour combination thread.
This other dress is worn with modern earrings and a modern bag. The dress has the best fit, but it is faded in parts, luckily it doesn't show much in artificial light. I love it.
I think the contrast is pretty nice and it warms up the coolness of the blue. The bag was bought in a boutique in Bath. The earrings were very cheap bought in some obscure shop in the sale. This dress doesn't have a label either.
