Phyllis, one of the lovelies from my recent 1930s dress collection, here, revisited in garnet silk crepe de chine. Details including a cream silk crepe back satin and garnet striped bow and black bakelite buttons and belt buckle.

This lovely mid-1950s inspired sheath dress in printed silk with a slightly exposed neckline with a little v-peak at front center seam, 3/4 length sleeves, V-neckline at the back and a narrow pencil type skirt is a typical example of the era.

Here a gorgeous late 1950s inspired opera coat in kingfisher blue silk taffeta in the classic free-swinging style, with a large pilgrim collar and cuffs and a back yoke. Fastened with one button at front.
