🎶✨ Musician of the Day: Count Basie! 🎹 The King of Swing gave us timeless hits like “One O’Clock Jump,” “April in Paris,” & “Jumpin’ at the Woodside.” His joyful rhythms still move us today. 👉 What’s YOUR favorite Count Basie song?

A 1940s dress, illustrated three ways, features button-front with scallops. Lace trimming. Short sleeves or below-elbow sleeves. The front pockets are in the skirt seams, also scalloped and trimmed with lace.

This 1940s dress is oh-so-cute, I love the scallops.
