I’m not one to normally go for ruffles OR lace yet alone ruffles AND lace
but this dress is irresistible!

VPOD: I Feel Pretty, Oh So Pretty
Tweet
Before you know it the holiday party season will be here and you’re probably going to react in one of two ways. You’ll either eagerly look forward to invitations knowing you have the perfect party dress in your closet or you’ll be running around like a maniac trying to find somthing to wear at the last minute. I’ve played out both of these scenarios over the years and I promise you the first one is a lot more fun!
Today’s VPOD features a fabulous 1950s cocktail dress that would be oh-so-right for so many holiday occasions. This sophisticated dress features a favorite label: “Harvey Berin designed by Karen Stark.” It’s a relatively simple yet elegant design–a fitted sheath with pleated cap sleeves and a rear view that includes a plunging back and floating panel. But because it’s done in gorgeous ivory satin with a quite contemporary black-and-white print pattern, it looks fresh and modern although it has distinctly vintage roots.
It’s an oh-so-pretty find for a vintage fashionista!
Available at Kitty Girl Vintage.

VPOD: Melon Marvel
Tweet
At first glance you might look at today’s VPOD and think “Ceil Chapman” but think again. This absolutely gorgeous dress is the result of the combined talents of Harvey Berin (manufacturer) and Karen Stark (designer). From the 1940s through the 1970s they adapted Paris couture for the American market with fabulous results. Just look at this featured party dress!
It’s a scrumptious melon color that is perfect for showing off a summer tan. And the detail on the silk organza is incredible–pearls, rhinestones, sequins and embroidery that should be overkill but instead give a fresh, feminine feel.
It’s a charmer for a vintage fashionista!
