First up is a darling bluish-gray knit set. I'm guessing this is from the early 50s by the construction, but it could be earlier. (I have a similar outfit that I know is 1930s.) It cost me $5, and will probably cost double that to get cleaned- it's got a real musty smell.
But my score for the day was this really great 1930s/early 40s dress.
It's a lightweight gray wool with self-fabric buttons and a cute pocket detail on the chest. It's in perfect shape with no moth holes or tears. It is missing one button, so I think I will use a sparkly rhinestone button and move it to the top hole for a bit of sparkle. It was a bit of a splurge for me at $22, but I don't really have many cool-weather vintage dresses; they're mostly all light summery ones.
I'm planning on going out this weekend, so I may wear it then!
