Sensible Fall Fashions

A level headed woman knows how to dress for the steno pool.

In 1966 one was either grounded, as this ad portrays, or was out promoting scorched bras.

1960s cocktail dress

If you own a Suzy Perette dress, you understand the allure of this fantastic brand. Funny, it is not the name of a real person! The Suzy Perette dress manufacturing company opened in NYC in 1949 as the answer to the post war French Dior look; high quality, lots of fabric, cinched waists, but also affordable. The company stayed in business until 1970.

We here at Wallflower Vintage have an affinity to Suzy Perette dresses of every era and are always on the look-out to find these rare delights.

Tis' the Summer of the Maxi dress

For those of us who lived through the late 60's and early 70's, these dresses bring back lots of fond memories (or so I've been told). Loose, carefree, cool summer living is back!
