Me too Nicole! They weren't made for super skinny juniors, more for a "full figured woman". But yet some class and sex appeal, especially compared to modern L/XL/XXL spandex stuff.
Labels are sometimes used for decades - your dress is not 30s. I'd say 40s to early 50s.
"Forever Young" was a line of clothing for women "of a certain age" who wanted to still see themselves as fashionable/hot. That's why Gloria Swanson was a great face for the brand.

Wearing vintage goes way back for me. This shot was taken in 1978 or 79 while on vacation with my future DH. We were on a ferry boat on the way to Butchart Gardens in Victoria. The tweed riding jacket, pin and skirt are all vintage. I still have the jacket and pin, sold the skirt years ago on...

I wonder if the embroidery was done by two different women? The show on the left looks like the black outlines were stitched with a finer thread in addition to the pink ribon with white center instead of red. The narrower thread might have worn down more notcieably.

Hi Pauline,
One of our site administrators will probably stop by eventually with the official word, but I'm guessing that the decision to prevent live links in the signatures of guests is because of the extra policing and checking that would be required if non-commercial links were allowed...
Modern women seem much less focused on disguising the natural contours of their breast and nipples than we were back in the 60s.
:oops:
Most of the vintage suits do a perfectly adequate job by current standards without the bra cups IMO. The exception is the large breasted woman who may need some...

The basic construction details look right, but the dress looks short to me, and that velvet sash looks jarring. I wonder if someone altered the dress at the dropped waist and added the sash and buckle?
I am not particularly experienced with 20s fashion, so I'll be interested to hear what our...
