I do like the saucy lace veiling cocktail hats. Perhaps additional veiling elsewhere would be appropriate too.
Say, like maybe...slips?
(Picture from an advertisment for "holiday" frocks. What a crock...I'd be freezing to death if I wore one of those outfits to a holiday event!)

Now if I could have the dress of the girl sitting down . . lined with one of those darling veiled cocktail hats. .and then a perfect invitation to a place that would need that outfit . ..I'd feel festive for sure.
ReplyDeleteThey'd really have to turn up the heat before I'd wear that...but even then, I'd never feel comfortable! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove lace...but I agree...where is the slip? Kinda cute though if you can just visualize the dresses lines. Smiling Kathy
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to have hats with veils...Many years ago.
ReplyDeleteI love the little black dress, but mine looks slightly different.
I think I would add some tights under it???
Jill, you make me laugh! I thought those WERE slips. I think I might be a bit 'warm' if I wore one of those frocka. giggle Pretty they are though and the cocktail hats.
ReplyDeleteVeiled cocktail hats look always so misterious and sexy, I agree!
ReplyDeleteYou keep advocating their use... we should keep on pushing and eventually somebody will listen!!
Slips must be going out of style. I guess that's why many of the new skirts are pre-lined. Must have skipped that step in light of the long, young, firm legs. M
ReplyDeleteI like Lovella's choice too. I remember my mom wearing veiled hats. Oh where are they now?
On the other hand maybe these dresses are the perfect weight for menopause.
ReplyDeleteHA ha.
Love the lace veils and LOVE your writing..
ReplyDeleteFor Mennopause, eh? Somehow I missed this post the other day.
ReplyDeleteAnd our mothers were concerned if our long sleeved turtle neck dresses were too short! I pity the next generation of moms.
