Floral pretties from magsrags.net, first a 70s does 30s dress that is so sweet yet sexy:

This one is actually 30s, reworked by an enterprising home tailor. The print is to die for.

And I think the floral petit point on these vintage sling back heels is just exquisite.

Good timing! I've got kind of soup to nuts in flowers...maybe crocuses to chrysanthemums? (Eileen, don't you have to keep that stunning daisy maxi, with your biz name? I LOVE that dress!)

Such lovely pretties, everyone.

I am especially fond of Candy's floral rayon nightie. I wear more vintage nightwear than anything else, and that one is 2-die-4. If it's my size, I shall have to handcuff myself to something out of reach of my 'puter.... Simply... cannot... buy.... anymore...stuff....
 
I adore florals!

Here are some of ours:
