Alfred Angelo's Burlesque Style Dress

Up for offer is this fantastic Alfred Angelo's fun cocktail dress. Actually it would be a perfect performance dress for a singer or classic burlesque dancer. The dress of course would need to be altered, in order to perform a strip tease, but that's up to you. I will be listing this dress on my Etsy this week, so stay tuned. I found some great snap shots of classic burlesque performers from the 50s. Gotta love their fishtail dresses, similar to mine. Sorry about the color change, the dress is a dark blue not black. The sparkles are  not colorful , they are silver. The dress does have some of the sparkles missing, not bad when you're on stage. The last closeup shows the true color and what the sparkles look like up close, they are not beads or sequins. Measurements are 34 bust- waist-28 hips 36 - medium size dress, there's no stretch due to fabric. If you are interested in this dress just email me at cabbiekat@hotmail.com or check out the dress on my To Dress Vintage Etsy shop. Thanks!

Look at Rita Hayworth's dress from the 1952 movie" Affair in Trinidad" , what a knockout dress.

Have fun with vintage!

Orange is definitely the New Black

Put away those black dresses and try something new. How about a bright pumpkin fall colored dress. This dress is so perfect for fall. It has a sailor flare, full pleated skirt, nice large brown buttons, back hidden metal zipper. Measurements are- bust 36 raglan sleeves gives it some room- waist 26 no stretch - hips full- length-43- shoulders 17 missing its original belt, any belt would do- fabric is a heavy cotton -wool blend- not lined-Vintage 50s Orange Dress link

 I love this print!

 Remember in Ferris Bueller's Day Off  1986 -when the character Cameron was staring at this art work, how sad he looked with the Smith's playing in the background.

Keely Smith Style and Music Icon...

I love her voice, she was married to the Louis Prima in the 50s. But I think she stole the show with that voice. Her hair style was so 20s flapper. I want to now cut my hair like hers. I'm so tired of long hair, getting too old for long hair.

 My favorite photos of them together and just of her...

Enjoy her beautiful voice.
