Dear Friends,

This is my first ever vintage eBay purchase. (I got it at a pretty darn good price too, which apparently is tricky on eBay.)

The dress is late 1940’s — no zipper — and features rhinestone buttons down the front, and darling pockets with an embroidered flora motif and rhinestone studs. It has the classic 40’s A-line silhouette and and is made of pink cotton material in which the weave is visible. It also came with a thin purple belt with brass clasps (shown above). Bonus!

Thanks for reading friends!

Sincerely,
Nora Jane

Dear Friends,

This beautiful 50’s, full skirt, red Holiday number is so charming that I wish I could wear in every season, but it seems to have maximum impact in the autumn and winter months. Here I pair it with a white sparkly-beaded sweater of the same vintage and a brand new pair of Beautifeel shoes (more on the shoes to follow).

The dress is made of a heavy paisley printed red fabric and features a dramatic semi-circle neckline and full skirt.

Thanks for reading friends!

Sincerely,
Nora Jane
