Vintage Fashion Parade May 7th: Get The Look: Mom

Just in time for Mother’s Day, this week we celebrate the woman who is every child’s first style icon.

VFG trade members are choosing items from their collections that would suit their mothers (and they might even have the vintage photos to prove it!).

Come see if you could see your own mothers (or yourself) stylin’ these fashions.

My Mom (and Dad)



And some dresses that she would have worn...(each photo is a click-able link)

 

My mother was in her 20s in the 40s and it was her favorite era (as it is mine!). She was big on navy blue, plaid, scarves, gloves, hats and generally what I'd call handsome clothing. She wasn't the frilly type. I picked out items from my webstore that I am sure she'd have worn. From top to bottom: 50s Vintage Navy Rayon Pleat Skirt Dress – Plaid Tie & Trim, 40s Vintage Burgundy Gabardine Belted Coat, 40s Vintage Navy Wool Gabardine Skirt Suit with Cropped Jacket

Thanks Amber! I love old family photos—mine and others’!

 

Here is my Mom ca 1952 - she is in the floral dress on the left.



and my Mom in another floral which I remember well from 1961 it was a white organdy with mauve roses.



The Yellow one with the roses will be available soon at Poppy's Vintage Clothing

 

Any groovy 60s and 70s mums?

 

She's so cute!
