Well, so much for being too busy to blog. I've pushed a lot of my big projects to the weekend, so decided to do more posting. Today was SO warm and sunny, I had to get outside in the backyard and pretend I was on holiday somewhere warm. While I was out there, I thought I'd snap some more pics of THE 1930s floursack sailor dress requested by some of you.
oh wow!! it's such a wonderful dress! definitely the best nauticalness (that doesn't sound like a real word? naticality? hhaha no most certainly not a real word) that i have seen in a long time!
ReplyDeletelove from amelia of la ville inconnue
I LOVE the dress! Especially the buttons xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks even more beautiful when you're standing up!
ReplyDeleteDelicious! How is your hair cut at the back?
ReplyDeleteI adore the "do" so much, I have taken "the" hat away from Betty and will send it to you asap!! xx
Very, very cute :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great style! You wear it well!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I LOVE coming here for a 30s fix!
ReplyDeleteIt's soo cute!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I love "sailor" themes...I've been thinking about doing some sailor themed projects lately, thanks for the post to remind me!
ReplyDeleteLove it! That can be your outfit for my seaside outing! http://thedreamstress.blogspot.com/2010/05/ukuleles-sailor-girls-and-mermaids-at.html
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous sailor dress, and those sunglasses are fabulous too! You really do look like you are on holiday somewhere warm, like you're just about to go to the beach and hunt for creatures in rockpools :)
ReplyDeleteMiss M: I wish I had a picture to SHOW you the back. This is the area I feel the hairdresser went too short. Oh well...THANKS, though, doll!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely one of my most cherished vintage finds ever. THANKS everyone!!
Absolutely darling!
ReplyDeleteOK. I have to calm down.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed the back of that sailor dress pattern.
PLUNGING and a SAILOR flap.
WOW!!
It is a great dress, I love it. I have always harbored a secret love for sailor dresses and I feel validated when I see a great dress like this. Congrats on a great find.
ReplyDeleteI totally was outbid on that pattern, I hope Lauren from Wearing History got it so she can reproduce it for our greedy little hands!!! It is soooo smashing.
ReplyDeletegaaa! Bombshell, you're right. That's fantastic. I had thrown that pattern image up here just for fun (nudeedudee, I might have gotten that image from your flickr feed???). That would be a FANTABULOUS dress to add to the nudeedudee line of bespoke garments! To be honest, I wish my sailor had that back. It gets a little warm wearing a covered back in these temperatures!!!
ReplyDelete*sigh* I love it so much.
