Fall leaves (outfit #38)

I'm trying hard to deny the seasons, it is NOT winter, I swear!  This dress has all the perfect Autumn colors; pumpkin, mustard, olive, sunflower yellow, and tomato bisque red.  This rayon, late1940s dress came from an estate sale.  I initially thought the dress was later, because the pattern seemed late 60s and the colors are so saturated.  I love it when I get to meet the people who know the history of a dress and give me the accurate details.  It's by a maker called Pornette... no, seriously!  It has a really interesting tri-split collar and a matching belt.  My mustard colored gloves are from a different estate, and my multi-colored t-straps were thrifted.  I have accomplished one of my 2013 goals, and am wearing my first ever bullet bra.  I purchased it on Etsy as vintage deadstock, and am totally loving it!

  1. These hues look so richly beautiful on you, dear Hannah. Autumn's palette is my very favourite, and I would have swooped down on this cheerful frock in a heartbeat, too. How neat that you were able to determine it hailed from the 40s!

  2. Looking lovely as always! I am also hoping to find myself a bullet bra this year, but as a very large cup size I am not terribly hopeful :(

  3. I'm an autumn colour addict and love all these colours so much. This dress is great and so are your mustard gloves.
