Vintage 1950s Navy Blue Party Dress / New Look Satin
$ 159.00
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.
Measurements when lying flat. Doubled at bust, waist and hip.
Armpit to armpit across bust: 35" This is a dolman sleeve so there's some play here
Waist: 26"
Hips: 43" ( taken where the bustle is at the hips)
Shoulder to natural waist: 14.5"
Shoulder to bottom hem: 45"

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

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.

Vintage 1940s 1950s New Look Black Swan Dress, Elinor Gay
$ 219.00
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

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.
