Circa 1950's Sheer Black Vintage Dress

Circa 1950's
Sheer Black Vintage Dress This is the perfect summer vintage dress! It can be worn casual and easily dressed up for a night on the town. The dress is sleeveless with a rounded neckline. It is a combination of cotton and sheer black voile. The bodice is fitted with sheer voile shoulders and cotton from the bustline to the waistline. The bustline begins with scallops along the upper edge. The skirt is gathered at the waistline with very small pleats. The skirt is also sheer and the dress would definitely need to be worn with a slip. The dress has a center back zipper closure which begins at approximately the bra line. The back shoulders to the bra line is done in sheer voile. There is a one button closure at the neckline. The back is open from the neckline to the zipper. There are no labels in the dress.

Vintage Turquoise Chiffon Dress

Vintage
Turquoise Chiffon Dress


This pretty vintage turquoise dress has lots of motion! The dress is sleeveless with a wide boat neckline. The bodice is fitted through the natural waistline. The upper portion of the bodice is sheer and the remainder of the dress is lined. The dress has a center back metal zipper. The skirt is done in three (3) layers of chiffon and an underlining. Each layer of the skirt ends with a ruffled hemline. The original belt is missing from the dress; however it would look great with a silvertone belt accented with rhinestones! There is a small hole in the underlining of the skirt; however this cannot be seen and does not detract from the wearability of the dress. The dress does not have any size information, but does have a label which reads, "Suzy Perette, N.Y.". The dress measures approximately: bustline=38"; waistline=30" and length (center back neckline to hemline)=41". The dress does need cleaning as it has some spots and some slight underarm discoloration (see Detail Views).

Vintage Black/White Checked Suit

Vintage
Black/White Checked Suit

If you're looking for a vintage suit with a great vintage look, check this one out! The jacket is unstructured with a slightly raised collar. The center front opening has only a hook/eye closure at the neckline, with the rest of the jacket open. The shoulders are padded and the sleeves are three-quarter length. The sleeves do have a decorative banding at the lower edge. This banding is also incorporated into the jacket. The left side of the jacket front has a horizontal band beginning at the opening and crossing just above the bustline. A vertical band joins the horizontal band and continues to the hemline of the jacket. The veritical banding is accented with seven (7) large black buttons (see Jacket Detail). The jacket has small vertical openings for a belt to thread through; however there is no belt with the jacket. A thin, black belt would be easy to find and add to complete the look. The jacket falls to approximately mid-hip length and is not lined. The matching skirt is slightly a-lined with a side metal zipper closure. There is also a hook/eye at the waistline which needs a bit of reinforcement. The skirt also has matching decorative horizontal and vertical banding and buttons (see Skirt Details). The suit is in very good condition; however it is missing the belt and needs a bit of work at the side opening (hook/eye). The jacket measures approximately: bustline=36", shoulder to shoulder width=15" and length=24 1/2". The skirt measures approximately: waistline=26" and length=33".

Yellow Beaded Vintage Dress

Yellow
Beaded Vintage Dress This yellow beaded vintage dress is a ray of sunshine! It is not done in the style of a typical beaded dress. I would guess the vintage is approximately the 60's or 70's. The dress has an overlay of yellow lace. It is fully lined and heavy. The dress has a center front closure with faux buttons (the opening has snaps on the inside of the placket). The buttons are domed and covered with silvertone beads. The turn-down collar is also covered with silvertone beads. Swirls of goldtone beads and silvertone beads are heavily scattered throughout the dress. Faux pearls are also sewn throughout the dress. The sleeves are long and unlined. The cuffs are done in silvertone beads and accented with a button which matches the front of the dress. There are no labels in the dress and it may have been handmade. The dress is in very good condition. It is missing a few beads - not noticeable due to the quanity of beads intacted - and there is some minor staining to the lining (light blue stain). This does not show through the dress. The dress fits nicely on the dress form which measures: bustline=37"; shoulder to shoulder=16"; waistline=30"; hips=39"; length (shoulder to hemline)=42 1/2".

1960's Daisy Print Cotton Vintage Sheath

1960's Daisy
Print Cotton Vintage Sheath If there's one good reason to look forward to summer, it's to show a little leg. Forget the stockings, now is the time to shorten the skirt and put on the sandals. From Vera this polished cotton vintage sheath is the perfect item to wear while lounging all afternoon at your favorite outdoor café. Big, bold stylized daisies against a simple black background, sleeveless, round neckline with a slightly empire bodice combine to create the ideal summer dress. We like this one with black patient platform sandals and lemon rimless aviators. Flawless condition and fully lined. The dress has the "Vera" marking on the lower front portion of the skirt and the label reads, "Vera, All Cotton, Drip-Dry." The dress looks as if it has never been worn. Tag reads size 14 and dress measures: bustline=38"; waistline=28"; hips=39" and length=36 1/2".
