$38 USD1960's Mod Dolly Sheath Style Black Velveteen Dress
Clothing:By Period:1960's:Dress:Cocktail:Dinner:Mod:Mini
This is such a sweet dress with it's black cotton velveteen body and cuffs and it's black sheer (silk?) chiffon sleeves and rolled collar that continues down the back which you could leave free or tie it. I'd say that this sheath dress with it's length of 32" would be termed a mid-thigh mini and the styling is quite mod. There is a 19" metal zipper down the back. Measurements Bust 36" Waist 31" Hip 36" Across back 15" Sleeves 23" The length of 32" is taken through the center bust front. ...
$42 USD1940's Evening Purse Velvet Clutch Purse w/ Metallic Silver Trapunto
Clothing:By Period:1930's-1940's:Women's:Clutch:Evening:Bag:Purse
This is an adorable little clutch evening bag although it does have a rope style handle about the thickness of a boot lace (but is a whole lot more stylish), I'd think that it would be held in the hand. What an exciting history it must have had because when new it was definitely one expensive (for the times) evening clutch. The whole front flap is covered in undulating strands of sparkling teeny beaded wire. There are flower centers with rhinestones, leaves done in the wire, fan and plume shapes ...

All this with a fitted bodice and a waist with an attached tie-belt (that's right, the original belt) make it a garment well worth having. It is both stylish and yet a little demure. Lovely! The label reads" ...

Oh my gosh, I so wish I was younger and smaller, I certainly wouldn't be selling this striking dress which dates to the late 60's perhaps early 70's.

Clothing:By Period:1980's:1930's:Navy:Flowers:Blooms:Pink:Mauve:Green:Chiffon
This is a very special 80's does 30's dress. It is a romantic almost ethereal garment that borrows many of the best of the 1930's styling. Flutter sleeves, diagonal layering of the skirt, crystals dripping at the end of each of 3 layers, the straight long lines so favored in the 1930's women's garments and the length stopping a few inches above the ankle.

$60 USD ReducedREDUCED 1940's "Betty Rose Coats and Suits " 2 pc. Skirt/Jacket Stunning "Look Out Joan Crawford" "
Clothing:By Period:1940's:Women's:2 Piece:Suit:Skirt:Jacket
This absolutely top notch 2 piece skirt and jacket are not given justice with my rather amateur photography skills. It's the attention to details that make this suit so unique. The 4 panels at the back of the jacket give it that tell tale nipped waist so forties, as do the darts that run from shoulder to inside edge of the pocket. There is a second set of darts that run down from under the breast area to mid seam on the pocket. Speaking of pockets, these are amazing. As I don't know the proper ...

Brought me right back to the late 60’s early 70’s, flower power, peace, Woodstock, long straight hair, pant suits, hot pants, the maxi, the beginning of the bell bottom era. The lovely soft fabric is semi-sheer and I believe it to be organza (incorrect? let me know) ...

This is a lovely example of the trendy drop waist, button front 1960's day dress, very era specific and it has a nice crisp look. The luscious yellow contrasts beautifully with the navy patent original belt and skirt. Even the top of the bodice and armhole lining is a great contrast in navy with white polka dots. The long dropped waist bodice is very slimming especially so with the curvaceous darts that travel from the armhole, over the bust and right on down to where the top meets the skirt ...

Clothing:By Period:1950's:Women's:Undergarment:Girdle:Body Shaper
Wow, don't I wish I could have had the silhouette that the gorgeously dressed, gorgeously figured young women on the show "Mad Men" (of which I'm a fan, by the way, must be the clothes) have. 'Course, we must realize what was worn underneath to give them that perfect 36" 24" 38" figure, was an undergarment such as this. All would have owned 3 at the very least of this all-in-one girdle body shaper. This particular garment is in fab condition, no marks or stains and it's an all-over lovely light ...

$48 USD Offers ConsideredLate 1960's 70's "Casino California" 2 piece Skirt Suit Op Art -Luscious
Clothing:By Period:1970's:Women's:Dress:Day/Office Wear:Skirt Suit
I do believe that this absolutely delicious suit would be on the cusp of the late 60's-early 70's due to the nearly op art pattern mixed with flower power, plus the decidedly 70's earth colors. As you can see from the photos the jacket is a great mix of muted caramel, yellow, burnt orange, cream, taupe and black and the fabric appears to be a soft cotton velveteen. I love it and really wish that I were my other svelte self (seen the diet ad where the woman says "I lost myself'?) I'd hang on to ...

Clothing:By Period:1950's:Women's:Cocktail:Hat
I admire this hat it's a favourite, with the definite "new look" of the late 40's and first few years of the 1950's. Envision it with a super gorgeous "Dior" look full skirted cocktail dress or an equally elegant pencil skirt and matching jacket. It has a fairly narrow stiff crown that drops down to a molded wire where it meets a curving 3 1/2" wire molded brim. The pink satin is fused to the narrow crown but the fabric of the brim is softly gathered as it circles the crown. The pink fabric is ...

This is most definitely a "Mad Men" wiggle dress, eyes will follow you, and not just men's. :) The dress features a rounded neckline, cap sleeves, darts at ...

If you've been to the west Indies you'll recognize the blue of this dress. It's the glorious color of the water there.

This is a very cute, cotton circle skirt, I can just see it twirling around as it's owner heard "swing your partner" at the local square dance.
