Category 1950’s

Dear Friends,

At our show in Tulsa, OK, the audience took it upon themselves to dress the part donning 1950’s cocktail dresses, fedoras, skinny ties and vests. What a good looking crowd!

I wore a dress that I received in the mail…yes that’s right, I am now acquiring vintage via USPS. After playing in Tulsa last year, the hostess of this house concert series, Andrea, sent me a package containing a Hawaiian Print Skirt, 50’s beaded sweater, earrings, a necklace, and this gorgeous 50’s cocktail dress…all of which fit perfectly! I love the deep V neckline, sexy red floral print, and bell-shaped skirt.

Should anyone out there have a vintage piece that they would like to donate to the Nora Jane Performance Closet, my P.O. Box is #68159, Nashville, TN 37206. 🙂

Thanks for reading friends!

Sincerely,
Nora Jane

Dear Friends,

I picked up this sweet 50’s dress at the Appalachian String Band Festival in Clifftop, WV. A dear woman named Rochelle has a fantastic vintage clothing booth named “The Garage Mahal” and this was one of two dresses I took off her hands.

This dress has a full skirt, collar-bone friendly neckline, and the cotton fabric is the sweetest pale blue and white. I added a dark blue leather belt and matching shoes.

Thanks for reading friends!

Dear Friends,

This 1950’s is one of my all time favorites. The details are amazing: large white buttons, green cotton fabric with woven white criss-cross stripes, two huge circle pockets, and a rounded collar. Someone had their thinking-cap on when they designed this dress. I bought this one in Leesburg, VA…but I’m not telling you where. It’s my little secret!

Thanks for reading friends.

Sincerely,
Nora Jane
