Warm summer outfit in style of early 1960s with real vintage multi-colored dress & flower bud shaped hat

By -


This vintage dress is very beautiful. 





I like the print of old and vintage fabrics. 





Prints of recent years leaves a lot to be desired. They are faded, blurred and dotted in structure, in a word, "digital" printing. 




Unfortunately, digital printing has completely destroyed any alternative and if you look at modern blouses, dresses, bags and other things, you will see that this is digital printing and that this print is very different even from the one that was back in the beginning of this century.




Perhaps for someone it is the pearl of creation, but not for me. Before, the print was different - clear and bright, in my opinion, perfection itself.




When I bought this dress in a vintage store, I was attracted by its bright fabric and beautiful cut. 




Later at home I found out that it was also silk!


This dress, typical of the early 1960s, again has something from the Biedermeier era, perhaps sleeves and collar.




This flower bud hat is reminiscent of elves and flower fairies from artworks of English illustrator Cicely Mary Barker and is also typical of the early 1960s. 


I bought it in a little Catalan town last year.




The multi-color dress made it possible to combine it with several colors at once. 




I chose a yellow hat, pink handbag, belt and necklace, pink/lilac/white bracelet, cream clip-on earrings and cream shoes.



I am wearing:
  • Real vintage multi-colored (light and dark yellow/light blue/lilac/pink/crimson) flower print pure silk knee length dress with fitted bodice with an exaggerated collar, with "V" neckline, with long bishop sleeves with buttons at the cuffs, tulip skirt, about early 1960s
  • (partially seen) Black pure silk petticoat, about 2010s
  • Real vintage yellow pure silk flower bud shaped hat with yellow voile by “United Hatters, Cap and Millinery Workers International Union”, “Union made” in USA, early 1960s
  • Real vintage silver metal clip-on earrings with faux cream pearls and rhinestones, about 1960s
  • Pink freshwater pearl necklace with sterling silver lock by “Bijou Brigitte”, about 2000s-2010s
  • Pink/lilac/white freshwater pearl and mother-of-pearl 3-strand bracelet by “Bijoux Brigitte”, about 2000s-2010s
  • Pink genuine cow leather belt by “GAP”, about 2000s
  • Pink leather handbag by “Nuria Cobo”, made in Spain, about 2000-2020s
  • Cream leather mid heel shoes, made in Spain, 2020s





This outfit turned out to be very romantic and I think that it is designed in the style of the same time, especially since both the dress and the hat are really vintage items of that particular period!




A typical outfit from the early 1960s with a slight hint of Biedermeier and even fantasy. 




I think some Elf or Fairy queen would love to try it on!

Warm spring outfit in style of early "New Look" with felt saucer hat with felted flowers

This outfit is suitable for cool, but not cold autumn, warm winter and warm spring. After receiving this wonderful hat from the Polish hat maker Sylwia Leśniewska from Wroclaw, I almost immediately arranged this photo session. Although it was December, it was warm during the day, but in the late afternoon, an icy wind blew from the mountains and, as always, my head froze. Unfortunately, my head is very sensitive to the wind, and all my favorite hats, those that are the most beautiful, do not cover ears that are very sensitive to cold. But in any case, the replica hat turned out to be very beautiful and, unlike the original, which was for summer, it can still be worn in the cooler season. I really like felted flowers, felted to woolen hats and looking like real ones, they are much better than those that are now commonly made from synthetic fabrics and glued to hats.  Firstly, woolen flowers are more environmentally friendly.  Secondly, more beautiful.  Thirdly, more unusua...

Interview with the Polish milliner lady - Sylwia Leśniewska from Wroclaw

In the modern world, the so-called "fast fashion" rules everywhere. This is when the market depends on the constant purchase of new things, used once or twice, thrown away and bought again ... and so on ad infinitum. Of course, the reason for this lies in the fact that modern things, as a rule, are of very low quality, regardless of whether they are mass market or not. This rule applies to all modern things from cars to clothes. Indeed, contemporary clothing is rarely designed to be worn or used for long periods of time. It breaks down almost immediately! This is one of the reasons why I am in love with vintage and antique things. Quality and durability mean everything to me. I like that once upon a time things used to serve not only for decades, but also for centuries, being passed down from generation to generation. But at this time, I want to talk about hats and millinery itself (craft of making hats). Because it often happens that there are no suitable hats for me: the ri...

Warm spring outfit in style of early 1960s with real vintage jacket by “Amaryllis”

Since the weather in Spain has once again changed (I've lost its count!) between the extremes, from heat and sun to cold, rain and wind, I continue to share with you my looks from previous photo shoots. This outfit will be very good for a warm, but not very hot and not very cold spring. Or for a cool autumn. Or a warm winter. But when I posed for these photos, it was the end of March, it was cold and overcast. So the outfit was not exactly weather-appropriate, but more because of the hat, not other parts of dress. Fearing the rain, I took a vintage umbrella with me, which I think added a twist to the look. I like the contrast of narrow bottom and loose top. This jacket is just amazing.  I tried to find out something about the brand that produced it, but, unfortunately, there is little information in Internet. Probably partly because the name “Amaryllis” denotes a flower variety, which makes it difficult to find.  Label of my jacket by “Amaryllis” But rue du Faubourg Saint-Hono...
