Here’s a purple kueh lapis dress for everyone on a wet, gloomy Sunday! We love this 1970s vintage dress for its simplicity and cheeriness. Accessorising it is also a piece of cake with this one – a floral scarf with shades of purple, and two brooches worn side by side: one, the porcelain brooch we featured yesterday; the other, an enamel clown brooch from the 1980s.
The picture on this vintage 1950’s/ 60’s porcelain brooch portrays a courting couple where a man is serenading his lady with a guitar, while the woman is holding a basket of flowers on her lap and has her hand holding a bouquet of flowers reaching out to him.
The picture was originally painted by a French painted called Jean-Honore Fragonard ( the painting has the artist’s name below the man’s feet), back in the 1700s.
This lilac vintage dress is soft, feminine and beautiful, and perfect for when you want to feel pretty.
The stunning part of this dress (Size: M) is its bottom half, where a layer of the fabric is cut in a jagged manner, much like a giant leaf falling from the sky.With gathers on the front of the bodice to emphasize the bust, and smocking at the back for a comfortable fit, it’s one dress you don’t want to pass up.
We pair it with a classic black 1940s evening bag, and faux pearl waterfall earrings from the 1950s.
Get transported back in time with this vintage get-up!
This 1970s dress (Size: M) is so simple and pretty! Tiny pin stripes line it from top to bottom, with red floral piping curving the bodice. The cut is slimming, and a belt is not required, despite the belt loops – which can be snipped off!
It’s got two big pockets, great for those of you who like ’em. And we know everyone does! 😛
And to accessorise the look, we pop on giant designer Luxotica vintage sunglasses in a vibrant shade of yellow and a 1960s flower power mini suitcase.
