Clarissa | Vintage 1940s long-sleeve shirt dress with Brown White Blue Color Blocking

The story:

How the past used to do color-blocking is simply amazing! We love their choice of colours, the shades, their palettes and just their sense of what works and sometimes just going for it - heck what others may think. 

The past was bold and full of gumption. And today, in vintage garments, their legacy continues.
