The Blue Gardenia

A change will do you good. Yes. No. Maybe so. Certainly. July 25, 2025 01:42

You are in the mood for something different. In the mood to expand your horizons. A baked sweet potato rather than white mashed. Heavy cream rather than 2% milk.

In other words, a pleated 1930s frock instead of an A-Line 1960s minidress. You scroll through page after page after page of gorgeous 1930s patterns at The Blue Gardenia. So many lovelies. So very, very many. Blouses. Skirts. Suits. Slacks. Day dresses. Afternoon frocks. Evening gowns.

And there it is, on the very last alphabetical sorted page: Advance 1828. It's perfect. Absolutely. Perfect. A pleated skirt. Leg o'mutton sleeves. Or maybe puffed. Two pieces. You can wear the skirt with a tee for a more casual look. The blouse with a maxi skirt for a formal occasion. Or a midi for work. Choices. Don't you love 'em? Yes. You do. Indeed.
