Green! One of my favorite colors, ya know why? It just looks rich and means money to me :)
This could be from the 40's to 50's, what's your guess? Maybe the zipper pull gives it away, hmmm, this color was popular in the 60's wasn't it?
I thought it was hand made, in fact, I was told by the makers son yet when I saw the neck area, it made me wonder-then I remembered that women did put tags of their own there. So yes, the lady did make it herself and did a great job at it.
It's a 2 piece Linen Dress and very sharp w/great detail in person. The little Jacket buttons up nicely with same material buttons, I just wanted you all to see the color contrast. Also wondering if all that makes the value a bit higher??? I have a fab Dark Green Velvet Handbag by Ideal. It matches perfectly and when I find it, I'll post it for you to see. Every time I look up that handbag, I get toys, I guess because of the name "Ideal"???
It does fit me well but right now I've been having a hard time with the heat and the lining makes me wayyy to hot! It's about a size 6, a little too big for a 4 and that's really what I wear. (except in the winter and I would be too cold in the winter for it...lol, I just can't win with it.
Thanks for looking!
LOL!!! Sure is! Yea, 50's it is then, that was always my first thought! Thanks for the kind words and love!
I put together some more turquoise jewelry today, still need work but I'll post the progress if I can. Now that will make it Navajo, Zuni & Cherokee (me), but I'm like the white buffalo, blonde...lol! (Only 1/2 Cherokee).
Hi Shareurpassion, your half Cherokee! How cool is that!! & so is this dress, love it
:) Cool right?! Thanks for the love and comment Fran!
Thank you Vet for the love, always appreciated!
Very COOL!
So lovely! I wish it was mine. Stunning!
I've had a look threw your posts and feel that I think we see somewhat the same in our pieces. Can't describe it better.
Lots of good seamstresses back then, and the idea of a contrast in lining was pretty common.
Looks great yeah?
Nicely made and possibly by a "local" dressmaker who made bespoke clothing for clients and had her own label. Pity it's gone!
No wonder you get cold! Size 4? Meat needed!!!
Wooow, I can imagine the hairdo matching this dress! :)
Simply elegant!!!
Oh I do love this and one of my miniature mannequins would look beautiful in it :-) Looks so Grace Kelly :-) and the colors are perfect !
Elisabethan, I just did the same...so ironic! Thank you for the lovely coment and love! :)
racer, agree, it used to be less expensive to "make it yourself", not now. It's too bad that in this "hurry up world" we have lost many things!
LMAO- you're right about the size and cold lol meat needed - all my life!!! I couldn't gain weight if you paid me!!! About a month after my 1st kid, I was right back in a size 3, and not happy about that! Ahhh, so I have gained weight over the years...LMAO!!! (What can I say)? :)
Thank you for the nice comment austro, maybe I'll go to the hair dresser, get the proper style done and post a pic with it on...ehhh, not!!! :)
LMAO A mini Mani??? haha that's a good one Marty! Thanks for looking!
Thank you for the love and pleasant comment IDC, I agree 100%.
Thank you val! And about the gorgeous part, nah, I wish! Just regular ol' me!!! And as for the birds (scuze the pun), a must have would be a female named Bonnie, right?!
We used to have 55gal fish tank, Bonnie & Clyde-Ricky and Lucy - Mickey and Mini and on and on, not to forget Cholo and Chola lol...We named them all!
Thanks, have a good one!
And thank you everyone for the loves too!!!
