Vintage Find of the Day: Yellow 1950’s summer dress from Father & Son Antiques in Raleigh, NC.

Very little work is being done to this dress. Its in perfect condition and only needs to be shortened a bit and taken in a little under the arms. I never thought I would be wearing yellow, but I am in love with this dress. I especially like the pleating over the chest. The hard part is finding the perfect shoes to go with this lovely piece…

Vintage Find of the Day: 1950’s rainbow stripped dress from Father & Son Antiques (the best vintage store in the city).

Yesterday I had the pleasure of vintage shopping at my favorite place with one of my favorite people. This dress was hanging out waiting for me on an over-crammed rack of dresses and well…it was love at first sight. Its cute colorful stripes, puffy shoulders, and varied piping along the collar and sleeves create the perfect look for welcoming in the spring to North Carolina. The dress is big on me, but after consulting my favorite seamstress sidekick (my momma), I bought the dress and we are already elbows deep in needles, scissors, thread, and zippers altering it to perfection. Pictures of the final product to come…
