I love cocktail dresses and other fancier dresses as well. I have a few in my closet, but to my discontent I rarely have the opportunity wear them. Last Saturday was the New comers night -burlesque party in my home town and I wanted to show off one of my treasures. I bought this 50’s silk cocktail dress from Ebay about a year ago. It is labelled Elinor Gay and it’s Union made. Strangely only the front of the bodice and (and half of the skirt) was lined so I continued the lining to the backof the bodice as well as this is one of the parts that takes most of the strain.
I love the shawl-like collar and the structure on the front of the dress.
I paired the dress with a faux pearl necklace and earrings and some gold coloured heels and purse. The sling back heels are an Etsy find and lablelled A-mano. The purse was a flee market find and its probably from the 60’s.
Oikein tyylikäs! 🙂
I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I came across this during my hunt for something relating to this.
