My Christmas Sock This Vintage Thingies Thursday

I know this empty and tired vintage Christmas sock doesn't look like much, but it is full of memories being my childhood Christmas sock.

It is a reminder to me of how Christmas can be a magical time of year for children waking up to find gifts under the tree and surprises in Christmas socks. I was always amazed that this guy called Santa was responsible for filling this sock.

I have tried to give my children that same magic at Christmas. Only time will tell.

Happy VTT!

1950s Red Party Dress This Vintage Thingies Thursday

This lipstick red 1950's vintage party dress makes you want to head out to a dance! My mom sure danced in this in the 1950's.

The red bodice is sprinkled with red and pink sequins and covered by a patterned lace. You can see some of the sequins sparkling. The bodice is form fitting to the hip where the skirt begins to flare out. It's hard to see from the photo, but a layer of flouncy toile covers the skirt. I would have modeled this for my VTT friends, if the dress still fit. It's just a bit too small.

The label says it was "styled" by Ricky of Toronto. Ricky can style for me anytime (if he's still around!).

Even when I could fit into this pretty red dress, I wouldn't have worn it to a party. The sequins are fragile and so is the toile. After all, it is vintage!

See what other vintage fashions may be at Coloradolady this VTT.

Happy VTT!
