Along with feeling spring in the air this morning I think I can almost feel a palpable collective excitement for the Mad Men premiere tonight - it's like a fashion girl's holiday! Above are some fine frocks from the late 1960s in similar shapes I am guessing we'll be seeing on this season's Mad Men. I'd wear every one!

The season of the cocktail hour fast is approaching so here's just a little inspiration and whistle-wetting from my 1950s & 1960s Pinterest boards.

Expect some great things to hit the Dear Golden shop next week!

Two minimalist mod Alison Ayers dresses that are most certainly sisters, in style and in size. 

They'll be in the shop by the end of the weekend!
