A vintage dream:- forget your figure or budget

Ok ladies step out of reality for once leave your figure and purse behind and enter the world of fantasy with me and post a photo of a outfit your wear in a perfect world?


I will start

For me it has to be be this late 40's new look from Dior

Considering its a dream world....It would have to be this gown worn by Rita .

I can see you wearing that Seastar it's great

I would like to wear the outfit Audrey wears in Breakfast at Tiffany's when she gets ready in front of her vanity with George Peppard, to go to prison. The big hat and all!! Obviously i would like her face and figure too to complete the look!

That's just one of many btw.

I must retire to me boudoir to ponder some more x

Not that I have much call to wear a dress like this, but I *love* the gown that Jean Harlow wore in "Dinner at Eight"

 

[Miss sofia]

I love that gown Lolly!

 

[Miss sofia]

Sorry everybody, i meant to make it one post. Any of these two gals outfits. Or indeed any of their outfits in the entire film would be a dream outfit.

Also, I really like Ruby Keeler's outfit in this scene of Gold Diggers of 1933 - Sorry for the youtube vid, I couldn't find a decent still of her suit.

I love those big fur-trimmed coats of the early-mid 30s, like Jean Harlow's in Libeled Lady:

And Myrna Loy's in The Thin Man, with that huge upturned collar:

And the long, slinky velvet dress and matching fur wrap that Rosalind Russell wore in the 30s part of Auntie Mame:

Aww shucks* thanks Paul! Isn't it just fabulous to dream...

Loving the Fur on those outfits!!!!

 

[Miss sofia]

Yeah me too, i'll have Marlene's white-collared fur coat in Shanghai Express too while we're at it! You can't beat a stand-up fur collar. (Or a covered button, but that's for another outfit).

You have great taste ladies!!

 

[Louise Anne]

What fabulous tastes every one has, even if it's a dream I am really enjoying reading about what every one would like to wear.
I did not expect fur to come up as often then I did not know what to expect.

This is my dream outfit also.

That's lovely. I would be the happiest girl on earth if I could find a 1930's sweater (repro or original).

 

[Miss sofia]

I love this dress, i would kill to have this in my wardrobe. Look at that overskirt. I'm not a huge KH fan, but she did have some stunners!

 

[Louise Anne]

I not sure if I right or wrong with this I imagine it would be a fabulous experiance to wear a dress like that Miss Sofiahttp://www.thefedoralounge.com/member.php?14907-Miss-sofia

I recognize that from Woman of the Year! I'm a big Kate Hepburn fan, I love how effortless her style was, even dressed up.

I like her hair do in that photo too.

 

[Miss sofia]

I have to say, i love, love, love her style, She embodied the whole 'you wear the clothes rather than the clothes wear you' thing and yes, she was effortlessly chic. The woman could wear a paper bag and look stylish. I'm just not a big fan of her movies for some reason.

Paul - Yes! I would feel like a princess in that dress, i'd be twirling around before i even got to a dancefloor!
