Birthdays and Baptisms

Posted in Uncategorized by

I’ve had one of those lovely weekends where I spend lots of time with the people I love. Last night was my dear friend Nikki’s 23rd birthday, and then today I went to go and see her baptised! It was a pretty special thing to go to… and even as someone who counts themselves as pretty un-religious it was certainly a moving experience.
Two lovely occasions gives me an opportunity to share  two outfits!
  

The dress I am wearing is by Martin Grant, I bought it second hand a few years back at around 10% it’s original retail value. I have to say I was pretty shocked when I looked up online how expensive his dresses were new, but this dress is beautifully cut and made. The detailing at the waistline is particularly spectacular.



I’m wearing it here with some ancient Faith platforms ( I bought these when I was in sixth form!!) and a pair of vintage earrings.
I will admit the dress is a little bit too tight for me, so by the end of the night I did feel like the circulation to my hips was being cut off.
Today I wore one of my favourite vintage 70s suits (the skirt has a 22in waist- oh the pain). I teamed it with a little mint green 70s shirt that is by Bus Stop. It has THE best buttons.
I love the little hat I wore too, I think it is probably a 40s one- mixing up particularly unmatching colours (mint green and deep red????) as ever!

In need of a party dress?

Posted in Uncategorized by

This week, again I have listed some FABULOUS vintage party dresses for your viewing pleasure (AND i have more to come!!!). Whether you want to go all out disney Princess in a Cinderella esque number or, if your taste is distinctly closer to 70s disco glam I have something for you this week!

View all of the listings here.

This is what I call the ultimate Cinderella dress. Dating to the 50s and made of layers upon layers of frothy blue net, it is accented with tiny sequins and beads.

This beautiful pink number is equally delightful. Great for a christmas time ball, but equally an all year round party dress!

This Frank Usher (unlabeled but I am assured it is) is absolutely show stopping. A real feat of construction. Dates to the mid 50s.

This black Susan Small number is PURE glamour

This gorgeous pinky red Horrockses number has a matching stole with it.

…or if your taste is a little later I also have a number of absolutely fab-u-lous 70s dresses on offer.

This Horrockses maxi dress will certainly draw attention. Made from bronze lurex with a daringly low front!

This Ossie Clark mini dress is really versatile. Great satin and moss crepe combo and can be worn by itself, or with trousers (it isn’t quite as short as it looks!)

Or, if a dress isn’t quite what you are after at the moment I also have the most wonderful selection of hats available right now. Dating through from the 20s to modern.

I’m also selling off most of my collection of Rayne shoes, a few of which come in their original boxes.
