When this ad image (originally posted in alsis35's Flickr stream) popped up on my Tumblr dashboard last week it immediately rang a bell with me. I had seen this blouse--held it in my hands, in fact. It was part of a huge vintage buy we made two summers ago. At the time, I had no idea it was an Edith Head design. Nor that it was purchased in 1956 for a mere $3.00 plus two Dial Soap wrappers! (I love all the ways the ad suggests the blouse can be worn.)
Here are a couple of my photos of the blouse, which I sold on Etsy exactly two years ago yesterday!
An amazing print, I'm sure you'll agree!

Now all I want is to own that blouse! As it turns out, I spyed something similar on Modcloth yesterday and have been thinking of getting it. I think this post is a sign that I must buy it.

Oh! My local vintage store had that blouse just a couple of weeks ago! Sadly, it's already sold.
ReplyDeletesuuuuuuuuuuuuch a great print! Does it get any cooler than that!? I can't wait until I see an old ad with something I've sold before, how awesome!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow!!
ReplyDeleteDo you still have a photo of the label?
I live for stuff like this.
this post makes me happy. just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteI love reading through old magazines, especially for the adverts. I've never found an exact match for something I have though! So excellent!
ReplyDeleteSo fabulous! It's amazing what companies used to offer with proofs-of-purchase!
ReplyDeletehow awesome is it that you were able to match the ad with the shirt! oh and that shirt is certainly a beauty.
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for checking out my photostream. Pretty cool seeing the blouse up close like this. (But I still wonder if any modern-day viewers have braved the movie that inspired it. Time for a trip to Rotten Tomatoes, I guess.) :)
