New Frock Post Number 3: 1930s Simple Elegance

Now I describe myself as a Mid-Century gal, and although the 40s/50s are my decades who could resist this simply adorable grey/blue dress from the 1930S? Would you believe that this beauty cost just £8 from the same shop as the green stripy dress!! It said 'Sold as Seen' on the tag, so looking for a great big stain, or massive rip, I was delighted to find a tiny hole on the sleeve, possibly a moth nibble, that is hardly visible, and would take a couple of stitches to repair.

It seems to me to have a Home Front/day dress feel about it, and is understatedly feminine and elegant in its simplicity. The collar is seperated as the front from the bit at the back which stands up straight, rather than folding over. And the lovely square buttons have a pearlescent/marbled effect. The fabric itself feels rather silky to me.

Jill: any words of wisdom about this one for me? ; )

I am very aware that a I have had far too much good luck lately on the frock finding front for one girl, and I am soon bound to make an erratic and frivolous desicion that will result in me buying something in poor condition or that doesn't fit. But, for now I am very grateful, and am going to revel in my delightful purchases!

Ok folks, I am off on my hols tonight so will see you lovely lot in a fortnight, when I will no doubt bore you with my holiday snaps! xxx
