My SAHM Style: Le Jardin Des Fleurs Vintage Frock

Le Jardin Des Fleurs is what the printing on this dress says meaning "The Garden Of Flowers". I got this dress at a rummage sale early this year and it is one of those dresses that I got for 25cents. I bought it during my rummage sale shopping. When I saw this dress on the rack, I didn't even inspect for holes, tears, or size, and just grabbed it right away. I am glad I did. This frock is around late 1940's-early 50's JC Penney's Brentwood Frocks Dress. I had to do a little bit of fixing though like putting an elastic on the waist part just so the dress would fit better. I love the color and the prints. The day these photos were taken I was in a huge hurry, which I had to take photos in the heat of the sun in the middle of the day. Nope! Not a good time to be taking pictures, but I did anyway.

We are finally back from a short trip, but I still have to rest a bit and get that momentum back so I can blog and get back to normal routine. I hope everyone had a great weekend!!!

  1. Such a darling vintage dress, Adin. I have seen them advertised in vintage catalogs and magazines from the 50's - a very popular "day dress". You've made it your own! Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday.

  3. Very nice! Nice ang vintage noh coz the fabric is more durable than the ones in stores these days...btw, I love the braids, makapagbraids nga pag humaba ulit ang buhok. As for my age, thank you. Hopping from BPC!
