McCardell Sighting at Local Antique Mall

I posted this on another thread, about how I had been reading about Claire McCardell, and then the next day ran across one!

Here it is:

Black velveteen with side opening that buttons. Side pockets built into the side seams. And I don't know if you can tell, but the shoulders are gathered. The dress look great on, but I'm not sure if I'll be wearing it or not. I'd hate to ruin it, and I am, unfortunately, a bit of a slob:(

Very pretty! How lucky to read about her one day and find something of hers the next.

Lets hope you can get all the others that you wish to find as easy as this one.

 

very cool buy!

I think I have seen a photo of that dress somewhere.

If you run across it in a book, magazines, whatever, please I'd LOVE a poty!
