Does anyone remember this vintage dress I was bidding on?


I did win the bids, and I received the dress today. It's just as beautiful in person as I hoped, but unfortunately, it's a little too big. I'm not sure if it can be taken in, but I'll check on that.

Yesterday, I bought this one, which is a little smaller...

2. They are so cute!
You might want to check with a seamstress on the first. I know nothing about sewing so I can't help there.

My daughter has thing for vintage lately she would be so jealous. Are they late fifties early sixties?

5. My dear Left Is Write!
Those are both beautiful dresses! I sure hope you can get the first one altered successfully.....

You must post some pics when you can model these, OK?

I'll bet everyone will swoon over you!

9. Is the red one taffeta, by any chance?
It looks a lot like one I used to have!
