That apple dress is adorable! I usually hate patterns but I would definitely wear that.
I love me some bows, even as a hat

 

[Lady Day]

Im an absolute sucker for border prints! Mmmmm! Though the sleeves are a bit much AND shes holding an apple! The other gal is looking at her like, "Really?"

I totally forgot about this thread!

Mmm... apples.

I'd like to know what happened to all those fantastic hats...

Perfectly innocent vintage patterns I've turned into obnoxious, eyesore-ific messes:

Now for famous people:

Helen Kane

That looks like a definite BOOP BOOP BE DON'T...

Hahaha! I love this thread! And you gals are so funny! My favorites so far are Amy Jeanne's flamingo dress and the apple dress... the last one I'd wear in a heartbeat with super red cheeks!

From 1916:

lol
LOVE the one with reeds growing out of it (upper left) and the "Venus Fly Trap" under it. And who can resist the "Cactus" number at bottom? I wouldn't wear them, but I am in awe of their obnoxious beauty.

I love everything in this thread! I didn't see one thing i didn't adore and i'm fairly conservative most of the time. (This coming from a gal who has just earmarked a fifties pencil skirt covered in jewel coloured spiders from a vintage shop the other day).

Amy Jeanne - i love all your stuff, that bolero is amazing - want!

Lauren - i would die happy having those star spangled pyjamas!

Lauren, Thank You so much for the V&A hat exhibit link, Wow!!!

 

[ThePowderKeg]

I would wear the starry beach pajamas every day. Even in winter, but with the fabulous Miss America coat over them. I love ridiculously fancy/busy coats.

Who needs a band t-shirt when you can wear a band skirt?

Piano dress?

[Drappa]

I saw the top one when it was first listed, but thought I'm too old for that...

 

[Lauren]

Those are awesome. I love the first one! I would wear that to Disneyland

 

[LinaSofia]
