I wholeheartedly concur with your observation and am a bit puzzled as to the response. [huh]Mrs. Merl said:I didn't mean to cause any dissent among the other people here. ........Purely an observation.

The shirt is emerald green cotton and the skirt is a navy and white weave pencil skirt. I'm also wearing a black felt half hat that you cant quite see. I think Fleur may be wearing a Swirl dress and Lyburnum was in a navy cotton 50's fit-and-flare dress with white piping and buttons.

chanteuseCarey said:Here I am on the dance floor with my husband Chuck! My ensemble was made from vintage patterns. The 30s skirt is of a light yellow handkerchief linen with vintage buttons, and the blouse is a vintage navy dotted crisp organdy type fabric with the same linen used as trim. My navy pancake hat is vintage 1930s. My repro sunglasses with green lenses are from Allyn Scura. I also wore vintage ivory crocheted gloves, modern but vintage-inspired navy faux crocodile pumps. My dapper husband is wearing vintage wool plus fours and a vintage jacket, with modern shirt, tie, argyle socks and boater.
Here's our son Daniel and our daughter Sarah reading vintage magazines at our picnic setup. Young Master Daniel is wearing a vintage boater, white modern Nordstrom pinpoint spread collar shirt, vintage silk bow tie, modern Ralph Lauren linen and cotton Cricket sweater, vintage style 30-40s pattern trousers made of the same lt. yellow handkerchief linen as my skirt, with burgundy vintage sock garters, and modern striped socks. Miss Sarah is wearing a vintage 30s navy raffia hat with cream grosgrain ribbon cockcade trim, with her lovely vintage 30s print cotton dress with organdy trim, and modern white crocheted gloves.
We brought our friend Adele with us, this was her first vintage event ever, and she is officially hooked! She is wearing a vintage print 20s chiffon dress, with a vintage 20s slip I dyed golden yellow. I bought these originally to wear at the Gatsby but the 20s silhouette fit her far better so she bought the dress and slip from me. She borrowed the my vintage little red raffia 30s hat and modern ivory crocheted gloves.
Miss Christina said:Wow! your kids wear vintage? I don't see many teens wearing vintage. I love your daughters dress! how old is she? Do you have more pictures of her?
Bugsy said:I will disagree with you to a degree on one point. There are still standards and etiquette for dressing in certain situations. I think the main problem is that people do not observe them. There is no way that anyone is going to tell me that going to a wedding or funeral in a tee-shirt, shorts and flip-flops is appropriate. Yes, I was there. I'm know I'm being an old fuddy-duddy, but where is the sense of occasion? Last fall, I went to the opening performance of La Boheme at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco. I was seated in the orchestra wearing a three piece suit. A man behind me was in shorts, a tank top, and sandals. I know this is Casual California, but there has to be a limit. I guess we are all charged with setting the example. I hope it does some good.
I'm 35 and i feel an old fuddy duddy too. Each time i go out like today with the dog to the vetrinary i'm overderessed. Wedge 40s shoes, victory roll, vintage make up, lacy slip under a vintage dress, suspender corselette. And nevertheless i choose one of my " all days " dress. I'm illustrator and a book will upcoming in France. For the promo and signatures i planned to wear lace classy dress, long 30s vintage dress or still a long black dress, with long gloves, veil hat, seamed stockings. I was 16 when i bought my first 50s shoes. 20 years after i'm still in vintage. It's my way to be a nice girl. I'm fascinated by golden era. But never i will try to change my man for example who is an old punk wearing camo trousers and skully tees. I never judge people on clothing and i think parents give often what to wear education to kids but not in the same way. Look, my mother think it's strange to, for use her words, wear like her granny. But i think it's the freedom to choose YOUR good style. i found mine, my boyfriend has his one. So If i met a men in tee, hawaiian short, flip flop at the opera i will be not chocked. It's life now.chanteuseCarey said:Well said, Sir. Perhaps I am an old fuddy duddy too- so let's sit together on a park bench all dressed up for no particular reason other than we prefer to. Better yet, next year for the SF Opera's Opening Gala you tux out and I'll wear a full length evening gown with a vintage fur, okay? Oh, you can easily find me again this season at all the CA Pops Orchestra's Sunday afternoon concerts in Los Gatos, I'm the lady (overdressed) in an evening gown
