I was quite suprised that it fit as well as it did.<br /><br />@Misfits Vintage Frances hmmm yes Frances Lavender maybe! =)<br /><br />@CRY I agree! The thing I really hate is when they get rid of very peronal items. Like a pocket watch or wedding ring stuff like that.<br />Also when people donate pics of their family to thrift stores. "WHAAAA?!" That always irks me. The times I have come across them I want to buy them and rescue them from being gawked at by tons of random people. I have one I will show in the near future. (I figure we are not random people we are vintage lovers so it should be okay.)<br /><br />@Barefeet In The Kitchen Estate sales are rare here. So I count myself lucky to have found the dress. Even luckier that it fit well enough to be able to wear.<br /><br />@Perdita Yes the design and I also love the colors they put together. The orange and the blue make it scream HAPPY DRESS! heheVintage Coconuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01066185329988715511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516582745943708173.post-89134155106539681702011-07-28T12:40:36.233-07:002011-07-28T12:40:36.233-07:00awww sweet you! gee, when I die I want someone lik...awww sweet you! gee, when I die I want someone like you to own and love the things I did. :)1950s Atomic Ranch Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460669868967006928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516582745943708173.post-4925597836459293372011-07-28T12:32:17.835-07:002011-07-28T12:32:17.835-07:00@Kylie Yes Kylie I guess it does have to do with v...@Kylie Yes Kylie I guess it does have to do with vintage loving. I always find myself wondering "Who's was this? What did they look like & Would I have liked them?." I surely don't get that vibe shopping at a department store! LOL<br /><br />@Nelly I wanted to know about the lady but some people seem more easily approachable than others. And in this case I didn't really feel comfortable asking.<br /><br />@posiepatchwork I am not the kind of person that could throw away past memories. Although there is some exceptions I suppose. There is also no way I would be able to have kept all the stuff they were selling. So it is sort of understandable. Who knows maybe they kept a few of her dresses.<br /><br />@VintageSweetheart This was the newest looking of the 3 from that sale. One of the others is 50's looking the other early 60's maybe?! I am not too sure. It's cute but shows wear as it should. =)<br /><br />@DearHelenHartman I shall call the pose the one legged log! hrrmm that sounds rather strange.. AH WELL!

i lo...can I send you my address? I want your dress!<br />i love going to estate sales because you can always find the retro, vintage goodies, but at the same time my heart is sad to see that all the things being sold was once a part of someones life and its all being sold away to strangers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516582745943708173.post-59600456760096425552011-07-28T05:53:07.707-07:002011-07-28T05:53:07.707-07:00LOVE that frock and you look bloody GORGEOUS in it...LOVE that frock and you look bloody GORGEOUS in it - I would wear it in a flash! <br /><br />I think the lady who made it was named Frances. <br /><br />Sarah xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235255775524330362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516582745943708173.post-42509265021991631512011-07-28T05:26:13.997-07:002011-07-28T05:26:13.997-07:00I'm always stunned when I find a vintage hand-...I'm always stunned when I find a vintage hand-made frock that fits perfectly, it's weird to think we have body doubles out there.<br />That dress is a beauty, the lady who lovingly made it would be so proud of you. xVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516582745943708173.post-87640747469770263662011-07-28T05:01:57.779-07:002011-07-28T05:01:57.779-07:00What a fab find... and I bet somewhere the seamstr...What a fab find... and I bet somewhere the seamstress is smiling knowing you are showing off her handiwork... on one leg on a log to boot!DearHelenHartmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191525904664350294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516582745943708173.post-75642518055655965602011-07-28T00:46:54.186-07:002011-07-28T00:46:54.186-07:00I love it!
