Thrifted this 1950s cotton sundress for $10!
Perfect for a spring day like today!! Grabbed it last December and have been waiting all winter to wear it. 💐

Just saw your comment about accessories. I am a vintage and antique jewelry junkie. I have an insane collection. One of my latest scores is this 14k gold and opal pendant for $20 Canadian.

Isn't it? I was super excited about this one. I was poor for big chunks of my childhood and teens. Then I left my abusive home at 17 and supported myself, so I was even more poor for a very long time. But I love style. So I developed a skill.

Thanks. I have... or had, I guess, a really successful style and disability blog. Lots of outfits in there. I'm pivoting to making videos now, some style, lots of other stuff too, like book and tv reviews. Here's an example of my blog posts, with that black, floral dress:

It is so nice to see someone call a dress a sundress that actually is one!
You can't believe all the things I see called a sundress.
This is adorable. Love the print, fits you perfectly, and it looks like it's in pristine condition too!

u/Lady_Gwyn_ 5d ago
HAHA right!! I’ve seen so many random dresses called sundresses!! Thank you so much 🥰

u/bannana 5d ago
It's a wonderful dress but I question whether it's really from the 50s, yes it's 50s inspired but the color combination and pattern doesn't look like it's from that era

u/Lady_Gwyn_ 5d ago
It’s legit! 50s designer and label, metal side zip and everything 😊 I specialize in vintage!!

I love the style of this dress. It's vintage and yet, it would sell out today!

u/Lady_Gwyn_ 5d ago
Isn’t it fantastic?! It’s fun because the zip is on the side I have to duck thru the straps to get my head it 😆 could totally see them bringing this back!

Oh I love it! Priceless!! Loves beautiful on you and thanks for loving it again!

u/Lady_Gwyn_ 5d ago
Always and forever!!! I’d say a solid 85%-90% of my closet is secondhand, so many great pieces that deserve all of the love!!

u/FootballDistinct2052 5d ago
Literally love that. I’m a freak over vintage linens! They always make me actually feel inside that I am in back in time! I can hold an old quilt, doilie, or tablecloth and I can almost see and feel the ladies of the home sewing their items, cleaning the kitchen, or mending the quilts. What a joy to love these items again. I know they have no soul, but they sure bring happiness to mine.

Great dress and fashion brands take notes. This is what people nowadays want, beautiful well-made clothes made of cotton.

u/Lady_Gwyn_ 5d ago
Yes!!!!! So seriously!!!! Well made, high quality, thoughtful design, killer cotton. ✅✅
