The sewn-on band which goes around the neck and top of the garment has a green background with a scrolling leafy design in lighter green and gold.

Vintage Oscar de la Renta - Elegant Black Dress, Velvet Trim

$375 USDVintage Oscar de la Renta - Elegant Black Dress, Velvet Trim

Clothing:Womens:Designer
This gorgeous vintage black dress is a simple shift, but superbly shaped by two velvet strips which begin at the armhole seams near the bust and curve down past the waist, ending at the side seams near the hips. These velvet strips also become the top edging of a pocket at each side, and then continue down the side seams of the skirt to the hem. The velvet strips are accented by a fabric button at the side of the pockets. There is no fabric label, but I believe it is a fine wool. The dress is ...
Lovely Creamy White Velvet Capelet Shrug, Fully Lined

$48 USDLovely Creamy White Velvet Capelet Shrug, Fully Lined

Clothing:Womens:Vintage
This marvelous soft velvet shrug or capelet dates to the 1930s or 1940s. It’s a creamy white velvet with a rayon crepe lining. The shrug has a shawl collar with a double-breasted overlap in front, held by two black glass buttons with silvery accents. The bottom of the shrug, when buttoned, measures 30 inches around. There was a small area of damage on the left side front, which I covered by stitching on a lacy crocheted piece measuring 1-1/4 by 2 inches. Other than this repair, condition is very ...

Victorian Era Corset Cover, Silk Trimmed with Lace

$36 USDVictorian Era Corset Cover, Silk Trimmed with Lace

Clothing:Womens:Vintage
This garment was a pretty covering to a boned Victorian corset – its low neckline would just cover the top of the corset. It’s beautifully made of delicate silk fabric, and is trimmed with narrow bands of lace at the neck, arms and hem. The garment fastens with hooks-and-eyes all the way down the back. All the seams are rolled – there are no raw edges. The corset cover measures approximately 20 inches from shoulder to hem, and is about 31 inches around the waist. There are a few small brown ...
Vintage Cotton Nightgown with Blue Crocheted Bodice

$25 USDVintage Cotton Nightgown with Blue Crocheted Bodice

Clothing:Womens:Vintage
At the turn of the century, it was a common practice to add a little romance to a simple nightgown by crocheting a lacy bodice and attaching it to a simple shift. This nightie has a blue floral crocheted bodice sewn to a shift of white cotton. If desired, ribbon could be woven into the openwork spaces at the neckline and sleeve edges. The bustline of this cotton shift has a pattern of narrow drawnwork in the front and a pink silk ribbon (now sadly worn) threaded through cutwork holes. The ...
1950s Ladies Slip Trimmed with Lace, Large Size

$15 USD1950s Ladies Slip Trimmed with Lace, Large Size

Clothing:Womens:Vintage
This slip is beautifully made, from the white lace trimming the top to the rolled hemline. Even the four shaping seams running from top to bottom are sewn with fagoting stitch (see detail photos). The slip measures 30 inches from the bust to the hem, and is 42 inches around at the waist. The label reads “Promises, Seams Reinforced with DuPont Nylon”, and I am assuming the fabric of the slip is also nylon. There is no size label. This garment has been washed and ironed, and comes to you from our ...

SALE Glamour Slip – Floor Length with Full Skirt and Lace Ruffles

$25 USD SaleSALE Glamour Slip – Floor Length with Full Skirt and Lace Ruffles

Clothing:Womens:Vintage
This long white slip would be perfect under a gown or wedding dress, or it could be used as a night-dress. There are bust darts and an opening with snaps at the side. The gathered seam for the skirt actually begins at about 3 inches below the waistline, which would eliminate any bunching at the waist of the dress worn over it. The long gathered skirt has a lace ruffle at the hemline. As this is a home-sewn garment, there are no size or garment labels, but the material appears to be rayon with a ...

The waist measures 28 inches and the hips are 38 inches, and they measure approximately 16 inches from waist to hem. The ...
