I love the vest.

 

[Lauren]

Oooh... is that one from Evadress? I've been eying a similar pattern for a while. Can't wait to see how it makes up!

 

[SayCici]

Yep it is!

I have been watching that pattern for a while too. I love it.

I got this on ebay and I asked for a similar frame for Christmas. This one has a photo of Myrna Loy and the one I hope I am getting has a photo of Claire Trevor.

Deadpandiva, I LOVE vintage frames like this one. I spotted a few small ones at my fave little flea market a couple of months ago, and didn't buy them (I should have!) They were gone the next time I was in there, and I've never seen any like them again. Just beautiful, thanks for sharing!

I just bought this pair of Freddies of Pinewood dungarees (what my Midwestern-rearing refers to as overalls), they arrived yesterday! They fit so beautifully, the denim is really soft but tough, and the zipper is hidden in the left front pocket. Brilliant!

I can't wait to wear them out, my husband isn't too sure about them (he's always a bit wary of my newest purchases) but he thinks they're flattering. PLUS - they have a 34" inseam, which is just long enough for me to have a regular length with a nice cuff. Usually I'm running around in highwater pants!

I agree, very flattering! You look great.

So cute on you, Miss Jess! Your waist looks tiny. I'm on the east coast and they're called overalls for us too.

 

[Miss Jess]

Oopsie, not me in the dungarees! I guess I should have stated that, I just pulled the photo off of the Freddie's website as I don't have a photo in them yet. But yes, I CAN affirm that they do indeed shrink one's waist considerably - the proportions look just right.

Thanks Lauren - I was thinking that I could see Audrey in the pale yellow dress in something like Paris When it Sizzles!

 

[Lauren]

Indeed! and the blue suit reminds me of Charade

Lovely! I do adore black velvet, either on someone with dark hair or as a contrast with blondes or redheads.

Dutchess...they way you said "oops another hat" made me giggle. It's as if they just leap onto your head, leaving you no other choice but to purchase them! LOL What's a girl to do? Right? lol

It's a beautiful hat and you wear it very well!

I need to have it cleaned and fix the lining which is peeking out a fair way at the back. Ooops! I only bought it the day before we went away for New Year so it had to come too.

Hats! Whoo-hoo! Will post more pics in Hat thread of these.

30s Riding style hat

Amazing late 20s/early 30s red hat, side view

My pic of a hat I posted recently, a nice sporty 30s hat.

30s multi coloured beaded handbag. I have been after one for ages and a friend was selling it, so it came to me.

Some 40s? earrings.

Also a late 20s/early 30s linen suit, but that is soaking so will post once it is sparkly clean.
