When my friend and fellow etsy vintage seller Rhiannon, of Garb Oh Vintage, offered up an adorable sailor-themed deadstock French 1930s wrap-front dress for sale recently, I knew I had to make it mine. Thankfully, not only was it my size, but it matched perfectly with my favourite 30s red straw hat from The Swinging Seamstress. Needless to say, I am a happy camper. Oh, and it's got, Puffed Sleeves, Marilla! :D. Apologies for some wrinkle dinkles...I need to re-iron it. In the mean-time, I wear it around the house while listing items in my shop ;).

Such a dream outfit! Seriously, you are straight out of a deco fashion illustration spread.

Always the best dressed! I love having such a stylish (and awesome) friend :D
You look gorgeous in that amazing sailor dress!
Love the hat! You look Très Magnifique!
Completely fantastic find! Oh, my goodness, do you look just like you stepped out of a (French) 1930s summer fashion plate. Gorgeous, dear Jill!

Oh, my, thank you all for the compliments! I have not felt in the vintage 30s groove as much lately, so I'm really happy to be back in the swing of deco things again :D.

Ms. Erin, the feeling is so mutual!
So cute! They certainly understood the importance of the detail back then and played on it- the few contrasting fabric accents really make this dress.
Wow ! gorgeous !

That is the sweetest little dress! It looks lovely on you <3
Thanks!!! I agree: the contrasting red and white striped accents really make this little dress. To think it was designed primarily as a HOUSE frock?!
Adorable. I just love it. And it looks fab on you. :)
Thanks, Eileen! :D
