The title of my post comes from a Ruth Etting song. She is my favorite 30's singer...one of those great torch singers that manages to be sad and funny and happy all at once.
I just love this dress. It was my birthday dress (meaning I bought it to wear to my birthday party, even though it was in February and cold outside!). I think it's from the late 30's or early 40's, and something interesting about it: it might be a maternity dress. We (the lady I bought it from and myself) think that because of these nifty little ties that take the dress from frumpy to shapely. They could also be tied in the front, if one was expecting. Just a theory!
It's so perfect...the cut, the weight, the print, the collar. Even the little bunchy-cotton "shoulder pads" that keep the sleeves nice and poufy are sweet.
You can see the print a little better here:
I would love to have this exact dress is 5 different prints.
It's probably all I would wear!
