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

Mrs Norma Bates Fashion Icon

 The  costume designer Monique Prudhomme  created such a wonderful wardrobe for Vera Farmiga.. I love her floral print blouses, a line skirts, and her classic dresses.  I can't wait to see what  her character wears next.....
 I  love this show and now it's on Hulu and Netflix which makes it even better because I don't have cable tv.


 I found all these outfits from here

I'm so obsessed with her wardrobe that I ordered this dress from Le Bombe shop .com a few days ago I never buy dresses for myself only for my shop, but I'm such a huge Hollywood nerd - for a mere $54.00 and shipping I just could not let this item slip through my fingers. . Here's the link

I just got my dress in the mail today as I  finished this post. I'm so happy that its from Seattle, now that's cool.  The dress comes with an extra button, but no matching belt. The yellow trim is not so bright like on the website, which I like.  Just found out that the label is by Aryeh from Los Angeles. Felicity Huffman from Desperate Housewives was seen in a pretty floral Aryeh, so I know its a good brand.

 The dress is a light cotton, not poly.  It is lined only on the bodice, but not the skirt. I just tried it on, and I should have gotten a small instead of a medium. Anyhow, it looks great with a belt. The length is perfect with wedge sandals and Keds. I love the over sized apron pockets. The cut of the dress is perfect for me. I am such a sucker for polka dots and a line skirts.

 The dress looks easy to care for and very durable. I've had retro inspired dresses that were made so poorly that after a few washes they fell apart, sorry Forever 21 you're off my shopping list. This dress will be such fun to wear and easy to accessorize with. I already have navy blue espadrilles that will match perfectly and a faded yellow scarf.  Thank you so much Le Bomb Shop !!!!! Now go to their website and get that special dress you always wanted. The prices are wonderful and such fun dresses to pick from. They even have mod dresses too, okay I'm hooked. See ya soon Le Bomb Shop of Seattle, glad I found you!!!!

Don Loper Dresses now on Etsy and my website!

I have had this love for Don Loper dresses for sometime, it all started when I saw that "I Love Lucy " episode in which he played himself, I was hooked.
   Many Hollywood icons have had a love for him. The most famous has to be Marilyn Monroe, she wore his dress for an early 1951  photo shoot at his gallery in LA and thought out the 50s. Other famous starlets like Carol Landis,  Yvette Mimieux, Connie Francis, and many others wore his gowns. Just Google Don Loper and find out for yourself. Gotta love the web! Mine are still on there as well from my old website at Babylon Mall and my Only Couture blog too.
  My first Don Loper dress from the 1950s sold a few years ago to some nice man who bought the dress for his wife. I 'm sure she treasures that dress.  Silly me,I forgot to try it on, which makes me sad. The dress has probably been to fancy galas, museum art shows, and yes even romantic candle light suppers.  Ah how sweet of that nice husband , what a cool guy!
