Beautiful 1950s Vintage Summer Dresses

We have had a super cold snap here in the Northwest these last few weeks, but now the weather is starting to warm up, getting in the upper 40s with some rain, so all the snow is melting. When it gets cold it is time to think of warmer climates and the lovely vintage dresses that you would wear, enjoy!

Love the print and darker muted colors of this dress, always love anything tropical. This print reminds me more of a tribal print with a Victorian twist. The bolero jacket is perfect for a little bit of cover up when needed, and even sweeter with that touch of bright yellow.






This organdy shuntung dress is spectacular for summer! It's sheer...it's washable...with a perky touch of white appliqued lace a the cool cap sleeves. In navy, grey, or brown.




Susan Ross strikes the high notes with singing colors in Avondale's Satin Stripe Chambray...the harmony with matching solid shades...in these sun-dress and jacket duets. Seated: light grey with red, lilac with green or yellow with gray. Standing: dark grey with yellow, green with pink or brown with blue. Sizes 10-20 About $9. Sanforized
I really would love to have the red and grey one, so cute!

What do you think of these for summer? Leave a comment

Cheers!

  1. Hi Victoria, I have always loved the vintage styles , even from the 20's, 30's and 40's, as well as the ones you show here. Problem is, I don't yet have the figure for these, but am working on it! The detail and fabrics are great. Very exciting! thank you for this blog. Pam

    1. Thanks Pam! I am with you on that figure thing, makes me want to lose my little belly just so these clothes and all my other clothes look good on me. I had always been so willowy, that as I aged the thickness around my middle seemed to just sneak up on me. Have a fantastic new year and keep up the good work on getting that figure.

  3. These are so charming! They make me long for days gone by when women didn't mind dressing in a feminine style. These are so much prettier than the "barely there" tank tops and short shorts that share your bum with the world. Thanks for sharing these lovelies!
