This later alteration would have been carried out in the later 20's to extend the life of the dress and to make it more fashionable with a sort of handkerchief hem..<br> It's not what you would call a typical flapper dress with the hem line of this dress been mid calf but been straight with no waist it is defiantly of the period.</font></span></p> <p><span><font size="3" face="Arial"> </font></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" colspan="2"> <span><font size="3" face="Arial"><img border="0" src="http://www.vintage-lady.co.uk/collection/black_beaded_dress_l.jpg" width="353" height="709"></font></span></td> </tr> </table> </html>
My fav is the pink suit as it's my fav color and I like the style of it (it would suit me!) Looks like you have some nice things in your collection Lei
I love the blue one! Alas, I could never wear anything like it, even in my heyday; too short always, and too stumpy now! The Dior suit is a dynamite color! I think one could call it a suit ensemble...
I love the Dior suit!!! Such a gorgeous color and the lines are so classic. Thanks for posting joey aka camelbackcat
I was a worthwhile and slightly surreal experience one thing I work out for this Dior suit ensemble was presumable for winter something which had not occurred to me before. With the coat it made three layers, a 60's women would have had one or two items of foundation wear ( which I did not) making a total of four of five layers of clothing, combining this with the time to put it on the two zips and final adjustment leads me to the conclusion of how different clothes must been to wear even 45 years ago. You can also see how the item hangs or is it the cut of the garment which two dimensional view on a hanger you cannot see so well. I would never appreciated these thing if I had not worn it. And thank you all for your comments.
