Gorgeous Vintage 50s Slinky Rayon Betty Hartford Dress | L |
$110
Gorgeous muted shades of mossy green make up a lush print of crackly vines (much like batik) punctuated with Asian motifs. We adore this dress and were it just an inch longer in the waist, it'd would have found a home in the lucitebox closet of vintage.
This is a great dress. It's trans-seasonal. The three quarter sleeves and slinky acetate fabric make it perfect to wear most seasons. It feels like silk and moves like it, too, but it's a bit more weighty than pure silk. The collar is a wide notched affair that's perfect for showcasing a gorgeous necklace. The fit is easy--it's a shirt waister that buttons at the bodice and has a very pleated full skirt. The detai ... [more]

Metallic Gold Leather Vintage 80s Body Con Dress | S-M |
$85
When the sun goes down and it's time to have fun, this metallic gold dress will be a hit on the dance floor.
A tank style dress always makes for easy accessorizing, but if you're this brazen and saucy, (after all, you're wearing a golden sexbomb dress) you won't need much to compliment the dress. It's made from extra soft metallic gold leather and it's fully lined.
The dress is from the '80s and it's really nicely made with princess seaming to accentuate curves. The cut is quite fitted and the leather slightly conforms to the body. It's body conscious at its best. The dress closes in the back with a nylon zipper.
Hey, whenever you ... [more]

Rhinestone Trim Vintage 60s Wool Tank Top | L |
$40
This knock-out little top from the 60s is made of 100% virgin wool and trimmed in sparking prong-set rhinestones. It's a simple affair that's easy to pair with any basic and it looks fab with jeans.
This is a classic tank style sweater made by Gay Gibson. It has figure enhancing darts at the bust. It also has an attached "belt" for added contrast. This might look great with a rhinestone brooch affixed at the hip. The sweater zips up the back with a long metal zipper. It is unlined, but that shouldn't matter. It's soft, densely knit rich black wool jersey that's quite soft to the touch.
This is far too large for our mannequin. On a curvy figure, th ... [more]

Atomic Blues Vintage 50s Jacket Skirt Crepe Suit | M |
$50
When an atomic print like this one walks into our doors, we're delighted in spite of some of the condition issues. Fortunately, this smashing number is still wearable, and, as you can see, this print is killer.
This vintage two piece suit set dates from the late '50s and is made of slinky crepe fabric. The fitted two button jacket is trimmed in black faille. The skirt has a scattering of pleats that give it some swing. The real standout of this ensemble is the gorgeous mid century modern print that practically screams "atomic era!" The colorway is utterly divine--all teals and chartreuse greens accented with black--what a knock-out color combo.
This is being ... [more]

Dainty Vintage 60s Sling Back Kitten Heel Shoes | |
$60
When you're lucky, you find a great pair of vintage shoes that are dainty and demure, yet edgy and chic. This little sweet pair of kitten heels fits the bill. Today's your lucky day if you wear a small size.
These pretty things are nicely made. They have leather soles and the toe box is also made of leather as are the straps. The jazzy part is the fabric that covers these black beauties. It's a modernist print in hot pink, mustard, royal blue, olive green, and black. These are likely from the early 60s and were made by Madamoiselle. Trés fashionable.
What is great about this pair of shoes is that they seem to have their own sensibility and style. All you need to d ... [more]

Cute Vintage 70s Abe Schrader Novelty Club Print Woven Coat | L |
$125
It's always a treat to come across a nicely designed, well-made vintage coat that's also got a fun side to it. This novelty weave coat from Maison Mendesolle is just the thing to satisfy both the classy and the sassy side of chic.
This vintage '70s piece is nicely fitted and expertly tailored. It's got a gayish beige spade or clover print that's woven into darkest navy (nearly black) rayon fabric. This fabulously rich looking, mid-weight textile would even be great worn as a dress. (We're not sure, but calling this a coat dress wouldn't be a stretch by any measure.)
The thing is festooned with two faux breast pockets, each adorned with face ... [more]

Woweee! This is really cool. It's a three-piece beach ensemble including bikini top, bottoms and some adorable clam digger/capri pants. Those little cover-up pants fall near the knee and have a cute ruffle around the leg. This print is fun, too! It's got big daisies in orange, pink, yellow, white, baby blue and green. Flower power pool party fun, right?
This is all cotton. The top and bottoms are lined in white cotton. The capris have a drawstring closure.
What else? Oh right. The set is new old stock and has never been worn. ... [more]

Stunning Vintage Late 30s Silk Jacquard Scenic Asian Dressing Gown | S |
$80
Rich and dramatic, this dressing gown from the late 1930s evokes that bygone era of extreme glamour when loungewear wasn't just a pair of yoga pants and a tee shirt. This alluring emerald green robe is made from whisper soft, light-weight silk that's a jacquard weave featuring pastoral Asian village scenes. Do take a look at our close-ups and keep in mind that the color variances are due to the cameras limited capability of capturing this divine creation. This is a rich and opulent green shade, nuanced beautifully with all of those gorgeous scenes depicted in it.
The gown has puff sleeves that are typical of late '30s, early '40s fashion. On the cuffs, there's top ... [more]
