Roberta (Revisited)

In anticipation of the upcoming "Tea with the Vintage Baroness," I was planning to do a little post about 1930s afternoon dresses and I may still do, if time permits.  In the mean-time, some of you may find The Painted Woman's post informative and illustrative of possible tea table garb.  I also thought I'd re-post a video clip from my absolute favourite 30s fashion-centred films: 1935's Roberta.  Yes, Fred and Ginger are as swoon-worthy as ever in this flick, but it's the Bernard Newman-designed CLOTHING that keeps me hitting pause, rewind.
