Lolita I think that hooded gown looks smashing on you, you do NOT look like a dude, lol!
Love the bottom pic with the hood up. SO totally hollywood!

Chiming in at how adorable Sunny's dress is--I can just see it with a cute little hat! Will you post pictures of yourself in it when it arrives?

I certainly will - once I can be decent in it! lol I'm bidding on a blue slip to wear underneath.

I really want some cute 1930s hats. But I suffer from a large head (~23), a lack of places to wear them, and really too much hair for the 1930s. There are a couple I'm watching right now, though... I have a pretty little straw sailor/skimmer probably from the 1940s that might look nice for now. Hmm...

Sunny, the color and the style of your dress are just DIVINE! I love everything about it!

All you ladies buy such lovely things! I haven't been buying much lately(clothes-wise, that is), but I got a cook book called "Meta Given's Modern Encyclopedia of Cooking vol 1, copyright 1947 in a thrift store for 5 zloty.(That's what, $1.75?)

fftopic: If you're wondering why a thrift store in Poland has stuff in English, it's because all the merchandise is imported from England.(They must have to many things)
Anyway, I got the book because of the title. I needed to see what was modern cooking in 1947. (It is very interesting; it has a complete year of menus, including breakfast, luncheon, and dinner.)
Today's dinner was supposed to be:
Veal Baked in Cream,
Riced Potatoes,
Buttered Carrots,
Molded Ginger Ale salad,
Rhubarb Pie

To be back on topic, Miss Sunny's blue dress is exquisite, and I hope you win the blue slip!

[Hep Kitten]

Pink... Thank you. I am so excited... I can't wait til I can wear it out!!

ShooshooBaby... I have only seen these dresses in movies... I love it so much! It needs a good cleaning, but I am happy with it nonetheless.

Laughing magpie... That suit is darling! And the opera coat... smashing!!!

Kimberly... You look so sweet in your new clothes! Wonderful choices!!

ImOldFashioned... Thank you... I just feel so broad in the shoulders. lol

MaryDeluxe... It is funny that you say that, because I was having a bit of trouble trying to stuff all my hair back there... I can only imagine how puffy it looks in the back.

HepKitten... Thank you. Ooh... so close... Crazy eyes came from How I Met Your Mother when Marshal was dating that new girl... and Ted and Barney could see the Crazy Eyes.

Shearer... That dress is too divine! I just want to rip it off you and wear it myself!!

Esther May... I bet that dress is going to look fabulous while twirling!

Pigeon Toe... That dress is a beaut!

Doh! I watch that one too! Such funny shows! lol

All the curvaceous gals seem to have been watching the same items. That is gorgeous. I almost bid on it too. I am so afraid to buy something that won't fit. I'd rather buy a little bigger and have it taken in. Did you see that navy blue polka dot dress that was just darling? Congrats on your find, Rockapin!

 

[Hep Kitten]

My turn...

Not VBO, but quite pricey, but I just had to have it as it's new old stock.

My hat and earrings arrived too, all in MINT condition, so I'll have to snap a few pics soon. I'm just waiting on two dresses.

I also watching some very fairly priced dresses that end in a few days, so wish me luck! And, btw, gals, great finds (as ever)!

 

[ohairas]

Hep that is a snazzy dress!! Love the loops!

I have to say, you seem so worried about your waist size but with gams like that, who cares! You're gorgeous and I'm jealous!

[ShooShooBaby]

hep, cute dress!

and i hear ya on the waist worries... by modern AND vintage standards mine is too big for my bust and hips, so it eliminates a lot of dress possibilities for me, too!

I hope the photos show up ! These are my most recent purchases : The knit dress and the Brewster tulip dot dress are from ebay USA. The brown/teal dress and the 50's seersucker with paisley were bought here, in Paris.
