Black Velvet Gown/Gold
Accents Size 6
This newer gown has such an elegant look! It is a combination of
black velvet and gold material.
The gown is very simple, except for the wide gold "cape-style"
collar. This off-the-shoulder "cape-style"
collar is part of the gown and encircles the entire bustline. A
vertical rhinestone bar accents the center
front of the gold collar. The remainder of the gown is black
velvet. The gown is very fitted with a center
back zipper. Black velvet shoulder straps hold the gown in place. A
high slit is located at the front side of the skirt.
The gown has a label which reads, "My Fashion U.S.A" and another
label reads, "Size 6". The gown measures
approximately: bustline=33"; waistline=23" and length (shoulder to
hemline)=50 1/2". The gown is in very good
condition and I do not believe it was ever worn.

slit at the center back. This gown is very unique and extremely well
designed - a real head turner! The gown has a label which reads, "J

Gold Print
Jacket
This jacket can go casual or semi-formal - it all depends on what
you wear it with. The jacket is done in a goldtone print.
Unfortunately, my photographs do not capture the goldtone color and
sheen. The material looks similar to a leopard print. The jacket is
fully lined and has a
center front button closure. The shoulders are padded and the
sleeves are long and straight. Two side pockets complete the jacket -
one on each side of the center front closure. The jacket has a label
which reads, "Veleno - Sportswear - New York." The jacket is in very
good condition. It is a newer vintage piece, but has a great look!
The jacket is marked a size Small and measures: bustline=36 and

Circa 1900's Black Lace/Beaded Gown
This lovely black Edwardian gown is a beautiful combination of black
lace and black beading. gown has a small front "V" neckline
which is edged with a very narrow light blue velvet. An attached
black lace "shawl" creates a deeper "V" panel which is decorated with
black beading. "shawl" begins at waistline (front and back)
and encircles shoulders. "shawl is beautifully accented with
black beaded fringe. fringe is attached to one side of Shawl
and follows scalloped edging of lace. This creates a very
dramatic look. gown is completely lined, however there are a few
areas where underlining is split - remainder is fine. There
are four (4) bones in bodice - one on each side and two in
front. gown has 3/4 length sleeves which are gathered into a
satin beaded banding. gown has an attached wide black satin belt
and a center back hook/eye closure. skirt features an
asymmetrical lace hemline and is decorated on one side (more towards
back side) with a beaded decorative tassel. gown is in very
good condition and lace is beautiful - I believe it is Chantilly
lace. lace has a few breaks and as previously mentioned, there
are a few areas of splitting in underlining, but other than that,
gown is sturdy. gown may have been altered a bit, but if so,
it was done very well. gown is also in a larger size and with a
bit of reinforcement, could be worn. Unfortunately, my photos do not
capture true beauty of lace and beading. gown measures
approximately: bustline=38"; shoulder to shoulder width=14 1/2";
waistline=29" and length (shoulder to hemline)=57".

This romantic Gunne Sax gown is a very pale pink. It has a square
front neckline and deep "V" back neckline. A large ruffle encircles
the bodice and continues over the shoulders through the "V" back.
