You Don't Bring Me Flowers
This is a rayon dress from the 1940s with clear plastic buttons. I've been reading up on different materials and fabric (even zipper brands) and when they were popular during various decades. It can be helpful in dating vintage clothing. Rayon was super popular during World War II because silk was being used for other things.

I love your outfits. The other day I took four suits to the dry cleaners and the lady at the cleaner's jokingly remarked that all of my suits are black. I am so boring and will try to borrow a page from your book.
Thanks so much. Working in color a little bit at a time is no big thing. And with spring stuff all over the place at this point in the year, I'm sure you'll see things that appeal to you.
