Lady Danna Retro & Vintage

How wonderful are the light and especially all shades of cream-colored hats! But, unfortunately, most of them, if they are vintage, they reach our days, soiled and stained. However, that is not the case with this 1930s one, made of soft and tender but dense ecru silk. The history of my acquisition of this hat is curious. When I first visited Spain some years ago, this hat was already on sale in the local vintage shop. Because I was going through a life crisis, I had a different style and therefore I did not buy it. Later, when I settled in this small town, I visited this vintage shop for several years and the hat had still been sold there. But I was not yet ready to return to the classic feminine style.  But one day the time has come and my style and desire to collect real and very vintage items have finally required me to start collecting such hats also.  The year before last, in my small town, for some reason, there were almost no vintage hats on sale. So I decided to pay at...

I have very few 1930s-style clothes in my wardrobe, and as for the really vintage things of those times, in general, only hats.  It's sad, because I love this period very much. I like long dresses, skirts and coats, as well as capes and raincoats.  While finding a vintage and even "a la" vintage outerwear is problematic, it is possible to reproduce lighter outfits in the style of the 1930s with the help of things from later times.  For example, in the same 1970s, stylizations "a la" the 1930s were fashionable.  Therefore, there are dresses from that period that, accompanied by the right accessories, will help to recreate the look of a fatal beauty or a Hollywood diva of the 1930s. In cut and print, my dress is somewhat similar to a 1936 dress from McCall's Printed Pattern. I bought it a year ago from a vintage shop and it was brand new.  Dress does not have a lining, but the silk is quite dense and, importantly, opaque. Now such silks are no longer produced....
