The dress is the one I picked up last weekend at Reading's WWII weekend for just $10. The red and brown stripe goes all the way down the front. The button detail at the top is adorable- too bad I didn't get a closer shot. The shoes are spectator oxfords from the 1980s in tan and white and the bracelets are bakelite. I have lots of bakelite in yellow, red and brown, so I can really wear a lot with this dress! I just got my hair cut in a 1930s fingerwave style, but the humidity was really making it frizz. I've found that to be a problem as I have gotten older- my hair is getting curly when it used to be stick-straight!
Darling dress! I love the patio chair pictured. Our family is big on reenactments also. Too bad PA is so far away. Although we do go to Ohio each year...
ReplyDeleteCute dress! Loving your back yard patio and view. Frizzy, yup this weather has not been working well for curly heads...a fact I know all about.

Love your dress! Love your hair too ( and it doesn't look frizzy). I have curly hair, so does my daughter). She came across some hair stuff that works great for frizz (her hair is long and CURLY). She buys it at Wal-mart. I'll find the name and sent it to you.
ReplyDeleteCute dress! And I sympathize about the frizzies. My hair was straight as a board till I started getting a little gray in it, and the gray is so much more curly than the hair that's what I prefer to call my "real" color. That's my official position, even though, at 63, the gray is taking over quickly. :)
