Doris Day Movie Fashion Style: Pillow Talk and Lover Come Back

Thanks so much for your help in identifying some of the hats in yesterday's post.  I loved your comments!  So much fun to find you enjoy the old movies, too.

It wouldn't be fair to share all the great hats Doris Day wore in the movies, Lover Come Back and Pillow Talk, without also sharing the fabulous dresses with which they were paired.   After watching these movies, I can understand why there are whole blogs dedicated to vintage clothing and recreating those looks for today.  They truly were wonderful.

I've shown both the front and back of these delightful styles when possible.  Unfortunately, I discovered Doris rarely stands still in a movie.  She is almost always in motion, so a few pics are just a bit blurry.  Hope you enjoy these glimpses of the casual, elegant and sophisticated fashions for women between 1959-1961.

Brief Synopsis:
Lover Come Back, starring Doris Day and Rock Hudson was released in 1961 and was their second film together. Tony Randall also had a big part. In the movie Carol Templeton (Doris Day) and Jerry Webster (Rock Hudson) are big time rivals, working for competing advertising agencies. Much of the plot/fun in this movie revolves around the old theme of mistaken identity...which is also a big theme in the movie, Pillow Talk.

Love how the jacket opened in the back.
