1940's Housewife
My fabulous 1940's house dress.
I don't normally 'do' pink, but this is more of a mauve. You need to click to see the photo bigger, but the pockets are fabulous with each pointing into a sharp triangle. It's also 70 years old, has a fabulous 40's floral pattern and it's in excellent condition. And it only cost me $30.
Bargain much?
Excuse the belt. First of all, it's horrid but it was the only blue belt in my wardrobe. Second, it's off centre.....the husband never thinks to tell me these things.
40's Dress: HolliePoint
Shoes: Miss L Fire
Bag: 60's wicker
Belt: 80's elastic
