Vintage 1900s Edwardian Dress Crochet Lace Sleeves And Trim
$ 369.00
I've been hoarding this as its so special and lovely. This dress is right from the earliest 1900s. Winter white linen with crochet lace sleeves and trim at the hips and stomach. Crochet lace at the high neck. French seams in a lot of places. I do not believe the buttons up the back are all original, in fact I know a few of them are not, though there are a couple that may be. The hook and eyes are also not al original, but they are all there, so someone has taken care to restore this. The waist is reinforced and trimmed in a soutache-like trim. It is unlined, and there is no label. Small to extra small. I wish it would fit me but alas, no chance.
Excellent vintage condition. Especially given its age. Still very wearable, though should be treated with care of course. There is a pinhole on the bodice and anorher pinhead sized on the skirt. But that's the only ones I could spot and I don't see any smudges or spots at all really. The only thing to really note is that the bottom hem was taken out by a previous owner. I've left it unhemmed and its been finished with a French seam so it can be worn as is. But if you want to hem it to make it shorter, that's, of course, easy enough to do. I'm only even mentioning it because you can see the lines where the old hem was, thigh those may steam and/or iron out, I have not tried. Its in remarkable shape and just so beautiful, and has so much life and love left in it. Very special dress.

Vintage 1920s Blue Rayon Crepe Dress With Gold Buttons
$ 179.00
Drop waisted, easy fit, divine navy rayon crepe, this 1920s dress has it all. Buttons up the front with gold buttons that I actually suspect are quite a bit older than the dress itself. Gorgeous coffin pleats all round the skirt, short cuffed sleeves, mandarin style collar, and oh those buttons! About a medium size I'd say, and have I mentioned those great buttons?Excellent vintage condition, especially for its age. There's a bit of mild sunfade on the shoulders and that's about it.

Beyond beautiful black dress from the later 1940s, or early 1950s. Makes me think of a Black Swan. The most amazing bodice with a black velvet modesty panel across the bust and then black lace and velvet straps over the shoulders. The velvet carries all down the back to a bow at the waist and extra long ends hanging down the skirt. Just gorgeous! Almost a full circle skirt. Has metal zipper on the side. No label. A lovely larger size, and great for a taller girl too! Yay! It's just a hair too big for me or I'd have kept this one for sure.Excellent vintage condition. One small threadbare type hole in back, about the size of two pinheads.

Vintage 1940s 1950s Black Wiggle Dress
$ 219.00
Beyond beautiful black dress from the later 1940s, or early 1950s. I wish wish, wish I had a dress form small enough for this so you could get the real feel for it, but it's too small so I've had to pin it. Hopefully that will be enough. Its utterly divine. The most amazing bullet shape bodice just full of gorgeous beading all round the bust front and back and then soft black tulle over the shoulders. Fantastic gather at the hip on one side and then this fall of liquid black silk satin skirt which has a small rounded cornered slit on one side. Has metal zipper on the side, but curiously on the right, not the left as usual, and yes, I've made sure which side is front and back. No label, probably homemade though very, very well by an excellent seamstress, but that may explain the zipper.Excellent, near mint, vintage condition. This is an extraordinary dress.

Vintage 1940s Black Rayon Dress with Keyhole Back, Smocking and Coffin Pleats
$ 96.00 - Sold Out
Beautiful vintage black rayon dress from the 1940s. This dress is as amazing in front as in back. There is a Peter pan collar, with smocking underneath that nd again at the waist, and then coffin pleating in between. Beautiful wide fitted waist then a loose pleated skirt. Short sleeves with more pleats in them. Then in back is a fun keyhole opening underneath the metal zipper at the back of the neck. You could stitch that up if you wanted, and indeed it may have been originally. But I like it so much as is so I left it. There is more pleating here in back as well. And to top it all off, this darling little loose buckled half belt! Small to medium size, I'd say. No label.Excellent vintage condition! No holes or tears. There is some color fade in places and a pinhead sized dot of light grey on the skirt and a couple pinholes. And some of the thread embellishment at the waist in front is loosening, but not badly. The most noticeable is some wear to the half belt. The fabric is wearing away from the buckle and some of the other side has several loose threads. You can see these in the photos of the back. Nothing that threatens it structurally at all.

Vintage 1950s Black Silk Satin Dress / 50s Fit And Flare
$ 169.00
Beyond beautiful black dress from the 1950s. The silkiest, liquid silk satin. Like a raven's wing. In the right light there's a hint of a blue sheen even, its that black. Fitted bodice with a slightly dropped waist. Princess seams, full skirt though not quite a full circle and you can see my very full crinoline is a bit too much for it, sleeveless and the shoulders are meant to be worn wide. Metal zipper up the back. I'd say small to medium sized. No label but made very well. Whomever made this even put a bit of blue grosgrain ribbon inside the waist horizontally which, I believe, is meant to keep the seams from pulling as its quite form fitted. Smart! Its not all the way round though, there are some long ends hanging inside so I think someone else unstitched part of it off at some point. You'll see it. Doesn't affect the exterior at all.Excellent, near mint, vintage condition. There's really nothing worth noting

$ 86.00 - Sold Out
Incredibly darling blue roses print fit and flare sun dress from the 1950s. Sleeveless, pleated waist , scoop neckline and a shirtwaist bodice with oversize pearlized buttons. This is just the cutest Summer dress. Extra large or larger size for sure, it's pinned to my dress form to show the shape. I've shown her with a crinoline under but she is just as sweet without and left to be loose and casual. No label. Feels like a rayon or poly or something similar.Excellent vintage condition. It's pretty remarkable how good of shape she's in considering she's mostly white. I can't find any stains at all, even the armpits look good. The only thing I've seen worth noting is about an inch long section of one of the princess seams needs to be restitched, but its' wearable even if its not restitched as that seam is just a dart.

Probably in the medium size range I'd say. Oh, has sweat guards too so yay for that.Excellent vintage condition. The sheer organza lining at the top of the bodice has a few tears in it but those of course cant be seen when worn. Apart from a few small areas of foxing and some loose treads in the stitching of the cummerbund and in half inch area of lace it seems to be fine.

Vintage 1950s Catalina Swimsuit
$ 118.00
This color is so delicious! I love this cute teal blue swimsuit from Catalina, from the 1950s. Inner bra support with the sweetest little flower detail in the center ( bullet bra cups that actually have pellon in the back!!!), skirt over the bottom in front, adjustable shoulder straps too! Metal zipper in the center back. I love the gathers in front and the darling little belt ( read condition below regarding this). And lucky us, its a larger size! Feels like a poly or poly blend. Crotch is lined with nylon. Label reads: Catalina and gives the size as a 14 but do check the measurements as vintage sizing is not the same as modern.Excellent, vintage condition. No holes or tears or stains. The exterior is just about perfect. The bra cup and straps inside are slightly discolored and the crotch lining has one or two pinhead sized holes. Nothing that shows and nothing that affects the wearing of this at all. The only real thing to note is that the belt has lost whatever served as a buckle to hold I together in front. I have it pinned here with that white flower pin. You'll want to sew those together or add a little brooch or buckle or something there.
Measurements when lying flat. Doubled at bust waist and hip.
There is some give to this material so room to play here. Measurements are given with no stretch at all.
Bust: 34" This suit has an open back and stretch so should easily fit much larger than 32" I measured from side seam to side seam and doubled, but as you can see from the waist and hip measurements its a larger size than your typical 34" bust.
Waist: 32"
Hip: 45"
Shoulder to bottom of crotch: 31" to 33" depending on where you adjust the straps. And again, there's a bit of stretch.

Darling 1950s dress in a lovely watercolor floral print of purples and pinkish hues. One of my favorite dress in the shop currently. Pleated skirt at the waist, high neckline and short sleeves. Not quite a full circle skirt but very, very close. So charming! I'd say in the medium to smaller large size range, good for a taller girl too. No label. Metal zipper up the back. Looks and feels like some sort of rayon or maybe a silk blend.
Excellent, near mint, vintage condition. No issues worth noting.

Vintage 1950s Dress With Jacket, Jonathan Logan Polkadot New Look

Vintage 1950s Dress With Jacket, Jonathan Logan Polkadot New Look
$ 179.00
Perfectly perfect little summer sundress circa 1950s. Dark red with slightly lighter red flowers with white round centers giving the overall impression of a polkadot. The bodice of the dress is lined in solid red , the skirt is unlined. The jacket is lined through the body but not the sleeves, in the same solid red. Jacket sleeves are 3/4 length and it has a hook and eye at the collar, otherwise its open. There is a little red flower pin included. The dress has a back metal zipper, and wide shoulder straps. I think my favorite thing about this dress are the box pleats in the skirt in front and back, trimmed with red. The skirt is not quite a full circle but close. Cotton, I believe, or maybe a cotton silk or rayon blend as there is some slight sheen to the fabric, and small-ish sized. Label reads: Jonathan Logan. One of my current shop faves.
Excellent vintage condition. I cant find anything to report with the dress, its pretty perfect. The jacket has one pea sized hole in the right armpit, and another little cluster of small holes beneath that and then another little cluster right where the flower pin is. I don't know if the flower was added later to cover these little holes, or if the flower was pulled at one time and is the cause of the holes. Either way, these bust holes are the most visible and the flower hides them pretty much perfectly. Way to go little flower!

Yes, THAT Gloria Swanson. She had a clothing line from 1951 to 1981.

The dress is wiggle shape with a sweetheart neckline, no sleeves, side metal zipper and wonderful deep hip pockets embellished with soutache and diamantes. Thread loops for a belt but no belt. The jacket has short dolman cuffed sleeves, four matching fabric covered buttons, and more of that soutache and diamante trim round the collar.

I just about died when I came across this dress. Gorgeous navy blue satin from the 1950s. Ballerina style bodice, fitted, princess seams, with small cap sleeves, scoop neckline. Lower dropped waist that dis down even lower in back and with that utterly divine "bustle-like" gathering of fabric all round. There is a metal zipper up the back. No label though I suspect there may have been one once, either that or this was made by a very, very talented home seamstress. In the small range I'd say.Excellent vintage condition. I have spotted a few tiny pinholes and it appears that there may have been two darts in the back that were let out. One really has to inspect to see that though.

There are a couple of pea sized holes and one about 2 peas smushed together on the chiffon of the skirt, there is also, near those, a very faint shadow. All are totally hidden in the folds really. The bodice has a pea sized shadow as well near the zipper on the right shoulder. Its so faint it didn't even show in the photos but I felt I would be remiss if I didn't at least mention it.

A dramatic box pleat on the back of the skirt from the bottom of the zipper down and check out that interesting flipped up flounce at the hip, its like an upside down peplum or something! Cute! The skirt and bodice are lined, the sleeves are not. No label. Probably about a medium.Excellent vintage condition. Pretty much mint. I couldn't find any issues.
Measurements when lying flat. Doubled at bust, waist and hip.
Armpit to armpit across bust: 41" This has diamond panels in armpits so there is some slight play here
Waist: 30"
Hips: 42"
Shoulder to waist: 16"
Shoulder to bottom hem: 42"

Vintage Bavarian Peasant Style Top
$ 36.00
Pretty floral embroidered peasant top in pink on white. V front and a slit up the front of the center bottom. The bottom hem is slightly rounded so its a little longer in front than the sides. Scalloped edges. I'm not sure if this is Bavarian/Hungarian or Mexican style as they can be quite similar. Either way its very cute. No label. Probably about a medium. Looks and feels like a cotton blend. I'm not sure of the era on this one but I'm guessing about the 60s.Excellent vintage condition. A half inch small snag in back and some minor pilling is about all I could find worth noting. There is one other little thick area under the right arm but that one I believe is original to the fabric when it was made, not a flaw.
Measurements when lying flat. Doubled at bust and waist.

Vintage Edwardian Cotton Linen Barkcloth Gown

Super special and still quite wearable. This dress is right from the earliest 1900s. Oatmeal colored, heavyweight, nubby textured natural fabric, feels like a cotton/linen barkcloth. Embellished with beautiful oatmeal colored crochet lace at sleeve cuff and along the neckline. There are also numerous little crochet appliques stitched in various places. You can see some of the areas where this was sewn by hand, but some of it is early machine sewn. There are still some of the original hook and eye closures remaining but others have been replaced with more contemporary ones, and I do not believe the buttons at the waist are original either. It is unlined, and there is no label. Many of the seam edges have been finished with an extra layer of light cotton or musllin to keep them from unraveling :) . Small to extra small.Excellent vintage condition. Especially given its age. Still very wearable, though should be treated with care of course. There are some rust marks round some of the hook and eyes but those are mostly hidden underneath. There is an area on the front skirt where some sort of dye ran onto this, but as you can see from the photos its so faint it barely shows. You really need to be looking for it. I have found one peasized hole in the skirt near the hem. And there are a few places near seams where some repairs have been done and it may need a new hook and eye or two. But I'm being quite picky. Its in remarkable shape and just so beautiful, and has so much life and love left in it. Very special dress.
