J Peterman 1946 Dress:

Color: Green plaid
100% cotton, V-neck bodice; darts at bust and waist.
Notched collar; short sleeves, self belt.

This is one of my very favorite Peterman designs. I have it in a red buffalo plaid flannel and wore the hell out of it all winter. I have it in the three quarter sleeve, all black poplin, and if I ever got off my lazy ass to replace the missing button, I’d wear the hell out of it, too. For the summer, I bought it in this great turquoise and lime green oversized plaid. I cannot get my arms through the sleeves, but then, I have giant Conan-type arms (only, you know, without the muscle tone). Regardless, I can’t wear this dress and it pains me, but it has to leave the closet, now.

Cynthia Rowley Vintage Dress:

A button front black and white checkered dress. That’s what the RLA sees. It’s a Cynthia Rowley, retro-inspired shirtwaist dress, with real mother-of-pearl buttons, and a huge full skirt that really benefits from the addition of a crinoline. I don’t have one to sell you, but if you love the rock-a-billy silhouette, then you probably own one anyway. In complete disclosure, the elastic at the waist needs to be replaced.

Collectibles

It's not your fault. You bought a pink flamingo once, because it was cute. Then another because it was kitschy. The next thing you know, people think you collect pink flamingos, because everybody collects something and so now, on every gift giving occasion, you receive pink flamingos. In my family, everybody collects everything. Some people call that being a pack rat. Others call it a psychological condition. I call it quits. Maybe you'd like to start a collection of something. Or maybe you have a friend who collects...something.

A pair of turquoise blue and clear Venetian glass fish. Probably came home from a European trip in the 1960s. Excellent condition. No chips or cracks. Also no label.
