I thought it might be! Those burn out velvet 20s fabrics are so lovely. I also love the colour - looks like it's one of those lovely darker blue shades you see in that era. The beautiful midnights, cobalts, saphires etc.NicolettaRose said:

Here are my finds for the day.
I'm psyched about the shoes, they were a bargain. I just hope they fit. I don't usually buy shoes on ebay for it has been my past experience that sellers don't know how to measure them properly. But, I couldn't pass these beauties up. After trying on shoes all day yesterday at the vintage shoppe, I've come to realize that some vintage heels are actually more comfortable than modern ones. So usually I stick to a lower heel, but I thought I'd give some higher ones a try. If they don't fit I can always put them in the classifieds here
I'm psyched about the dress, but paid a pretty penny for it so I hope it's in as good of a condition as the seller claims.
pretty faythe said:These are not retro,but they had a retro feel to me, plus they had a chunky heel, which is such a plus to me. I had to dress up for a formal dinner when I graduated from the apprenticeship a few years ago and got the heel of my shoe caught in the elevator door thing. Needless to say, it wa ws hilarous sight and thank goodness it was just family around whent that happened lol
They are a brown/burgondy color and "reptiled" pattern. Found them donated at Goodwill's clearence center. Price on shoe, $4.00, since shoes are 75% off there, they only cost $1!:eusa_clap
And new with the tag still on!

I went on a vintage fabric buying spree this weekend:
Cotton lawn
Voile:
Rayon:
Buttons:
). I don't like lounging around the house in my nice dresses, I usually throw on a pair of "cutie pajamies" when I get home, so I don't wrinkle up my dress. I think a cotton house dress is the most comfortable outfit for doing things around the house, or just hanging out. I don't have too many. They aren't all that flattering on me, but then again I"m only wearing it around the house and they are super comfy!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the house dress Daisy!! The green shoes are terrific too!Daisy Buchanan said:Thank you Decobelle
Here's what I won on the bay last night. I've been going a little crazy lately, really should stop. But I swear this is just a phase! I also have phases where I don't buy anything at all for months, so I'm just making up for lost time!!
I'm especially psyched about the green shoes. Many of you ladies know how I feel about my Naturalizer shoes (modern ones), well these are Naturalizer, so I finally got a pair of vintage ones. I'm also a bit thrilled about the cotton house dress. I haven't won one in a while (thanks ezsnipe
I think the black dress will be prettier in person. Black is so hard to photograph.
I'm not buying any thing else until I completely give up on sewing a skirt and until I loose a little weight...and let's just say, at this rate I'll never buy anything again!
