Fabulous Finds: The Frivolous Dress

It's freezing here, like everywhere else, :) and I'm dreaming of bygone days when elegant parties were thrown and beautiful dresses were made.
My personal favorite is the turquoise one. How about you?
Or you could just pass me a bolt of either fabric...

Treasury full of goodies! Go take a closer look! Some of these shops had several wonderful pieces that made it hard
to choose which to feature.
While I find myself wanting one of each, of all these; the reality of life, then and now was, an individual would probably only wear one of these dresses in her entire life. So think carefully... which would you choose?

  1. So many gorgeous dresses! I particularly love the 1930s cocktail dress.

  2. I second that vote Deb. I like the asymmetrical overlay effect. Hides our aging imperfections. ;-)

  3. If I could have the body the match the picture I would choose Mary Beth's (RetroMonkeys) 50's Evening Gown and marry my husband all over again.

  4. The turquoise one is my favorite too. I recently gave away a vintage dress that was very similar.

  5. I love the 1940s dress with the angular gathers at the bodice, but the one I'd be most likely to wear is the criss-cross sundress by Anne Adams. All such great finds!

  6. It is so hard to choose! I think I would go with the turquoise dress too.

  7. After much thought, I finally narrowed it down to one. My choice is the evening suit with the diagonally cut bodice.
