When i was in England.. I went to the Charity Shops and found these Beautiful coats for 3 Pounds! I was super excited!!

Here are a few of the dresses I bought a couple weeks ago (I bought 3 more, but haven't taken pictures of them yet!) The blue floral dress is 50's and NOS! It's still got a tag attached to one sleeve (I've included photos of the tags). It's very "Stepford Wives". It makes me want to wear it with an apron and heels and make dinner for my boyfriend! haha!! The purple plaid dress is also 50's. It's cotton and very comfortable! I'll wear it a lot this summer!! It hasn't got a tag, it's homemade.
I've got larger photos on my blog of these dresses if anyone is interested (just click on the pictures)! The link is below in my signature!

WOW! Howard Greer?? Awesome! I didn't know he did a ready to wear line as well as costumes. His dresses for Ginger Rogers in Carefree were lovely.

That is a gorgeous, gorgeous dress and a real investment, worth every penny (however many you paid ! )

I agree with AllAboutEve. That one is a piece of fashion history as well as a gorgeous dress. Good find!

Vintage Inspired dress

Not actually vintage, but a great representation of the style. I picked up this Blonde Venus dress on eBay the other week and it has such a perfect lady-like day dress style. Blogged here.

Not the best photo to show off the dress, but I'll take some more detailed shots soon.
I'm really feeling a late 50's vibe at the moment. Put it down to too much Mad Men!

Just got this cutie on Ebay---couldn't resist free shipping and will be pretty for spring I think:

How to accesorize it if I want to wear it to work? What shoes? I don't have pink shoes but I do have cute red ones or would that be too much?

I think I lovely strappy gray (or silver or pewter) shoe would be nice. It depends on the weight of the red shoe, they may detract from the pattern and just draw the eye down. You want to keep people looking at the pretty dress.

Deco darling that dress/ensemble is AMAZING. The kind of outfit I would love to own. Great buy!

Very nice stuff everyone.
fftopic: I have a Howard Greer vintage sewing pattern. It is Advance 6802 American Designer pattern and states Original Design by Howard Greer The New York Times. Sz.14.

Going thru withdrawals with my stores shut down so had to buy me a nice vintage Dalton pink cashmere cardigan. I am running out of colors to buy in cardigans.
I am really looking high and low for a nice Hadley made exclusively for Joske's cardigan in a med. to large. I have a black one and it is the best feeling cardigan I have ever owned.
Trying to contain myself and not buy anymore sweater guards for awhile.

It's Gorgeous!!

I am agree with you Rebecca, What a beautiful garment, drop dead stuff!!

 

[vampygirl13]

Thanks SKM! I do have a pair of pewter mary janes I could wear, didn't think of that. And my red shoes are a patent round toe slingback---I'll have to try them on and how they look.

I went on a bit of a Swirl bender and got two more. I can't help myself!

One is pink and the seller's deleted the photos! Drat!

The other one is this one:

Superb for the coming summer, great stuff for going picnic.
I love Swirls, they so really marked an era!!

I am in love with this dress!!! How about tan 40's peep toes? Or blue? No necklace to show off the collar and simple stud earrings... : }
