Yes, It's My Dress And Resort Wear

Are you feeling the summer fashion vibe yet? Vintage resort wear has peaked my interest, lately.  As I was looking through an issue of Look Magazine (1950), I came across an interesting article for a seven piece resort wear set.  If you'd like the pattern, please send 18c to Look Magazine to cover postage (of course, you must also transport yourself back to 1950).  I tried to see if there was an actual pattern on the internet for this set but didn't see one.  It is a very cute idea.
Below are images of some of the outfits you can make:

Also, in an issue of Look Magazine I came across this and I thought it was really interesting to share.  A wooden paddle is inserted into a Schiaparelli corset.  The angles of this Alwynn corset are also quite interesting and you can see how a "New Look" can be achieved.

Recently, I've also been touched with the vintage Hawaii bug.   I'm on the hunt for a Shaheen dress but I want it to be the right one.   I've also felt the need to watch an Elvis flick.   How perfect to watch Blue Hawaii?   As I was watching Blue Hawaii oogling over all the great fashion and of course Elvis,  when...   there was this a clip where Maile Duval is in this dress  below:

Sorry for the screen shots not being that great but you get the idea.

Imagine my excitment when I realize I have this exact same dress!  I blogged about it here.  I also have the matching ad from a magazine that goes with this dress.

Below is an image I took of the dress last year.   It's fun when you get to see your fashions on the screen.  Have any of you seen your vintage wears on the silver screen?
