Absolutely stunning cocktail dress that’s built of sheer black floral jacquard over shimmering dark olive green sharkskin taffeta. Bodice is strapless taffeta underneath, with boning structure, covered by the 1/2 sleeve sheer floral top. Pouffy pleated tulip skirt has a black underlayer of organdy crinoline, one layer of the green taffeta, and a top layer of the sheer black faced with the green taffeta. Metal Talon zipper in back that’s covered by the obi style bow. Made in California by Lou Rose, Santa Barbara.

A classic Little Black Dress with gorgeous design details. Black crepe dress with a wide scoop neckline and wrap front bodice that’s classic O’Hara.

Made in California by Dorothy O’Hara.

Bold floral with red poppies and white daisies, this cute and classic wrap housedress is nicely finished with blue piping and a wrap-and-tie waist that’s figure-flattering while being simple and practical. There’s one front patch pocket on the right side. Made in USA of 100% cotton by Swirl.

One of my favorite dresses ever! Confetti-shaped red dots on a white shiny acetate, with applique bows on the chest that are open on top like little pockets. Pleated waist, self-fabric covered belt, metal zipper up the back. The neckline has a slight V in back and is trimmed with piping. No maker’s tags, it’s nicely made and could be home-tailored.
