[ORDER ITEM #5942]
Click on image for additional photos!# 5942 - c. 1950's IRENE Black Miniweave Lightweight Wool Suit! Let me start with the moth holes. Yes, there are quite a few. Only a couple in the left skirt that are larger than pinheads, but still.... and there are a few light marks on the piece as well. The hem is nearly 4", so you have extra material to invisible weave the damn moth holes. The jacket is QUITE cool in that you seem to be able to wear it double-breasted OR single-breasted and they both look good. Side metal zipper on skirt. Cuffed sleeves. Great "v" design at front of jacket, and interesting double vertical decorative "slashes" at upper right jacket! Measures: up to 38" bust, up to 26" waist, up to 38" hips. If you love Irene and can't generally afford a perfect one, well..... NEW LISTING! Under $150 so Final Sale Item. $ 125.

[ORDER ITEM #5944]
Click on image for additional photos!# 5944 - c. 1950's EISENBERG ORIGINAL Navy Rayon Jacket with White Cuffs and Diamond! Let me start with the fact that this was likely a suit, but the skirt is gone. However, suits aren't "in" anyway, so... :) Check out the lighter photos by clicking on the jacket at left. See the large self-covered buttons (probably early 50s?). The white cuffs and white "diamond" get lost in the lighter photos, but I wanted you to see them here. Good condition with the exception of the marks on the white cuff, and under bright light you will see the discoloration down the shoulder and a bit down the sleeve. Measures: up to 38" bust. NEW LISTING! Under $150 so Final Sale Item. $ 45.

[ORDER ITEM #5990]
Click on image for additional photos!# 5990 - c. 1960's Hartzfeld's, Kansas City Black and White Dress! I'm a sucker for Black and White. I attribute it to the fact that I'm reincarnated from a B&W cat. OK.. I only slightly believe that, but something makes me think I can communicate with my two kitties! :) Oh well... before you think I'm insane, let's get back to this particular dress. Black halter bodice with "v" neck, wide midriff striped satin waistband matching the wider skirt border and the white silk skirt. GREAT! And even more interesting is the upper back panel that gives the back a sexy open look. Now, I could stop there and tell you it's in Excellent condition, however... as you can see, someone during its lifetime needed the dress to be larger, so they inset black side panels. So, it's not horrible (as some renovations might be), but it's obvious to those of you who care. The good news is that it makes it a nice, wearable size now.... so stop your bellyachin'! :) And if you REALLY can't stand it, you can revamp it again using additional striped material from the 2.5" hem and make the increase disappear from a distance! OK... so currently measures: 34/35" bust, 26" waist (slightly high or empire). 41" long from shoulder to hem. Metal zipper back. NEW LISTING! Under $150 so Final Sale Item. $ 145.

[ORDER ITEM - #5841]
Click on image for additional photos!# 5841 - c. 1980's Faux Fur Leopard Pencil Slim Skirt! "Grrrrrr". It's funny how some faux leopard pieces look so real (like this one) and others look so fake! This one is a plush faux fur. Trash it up, or wear with a twin set cardigan and you will look like a lady! Very versatile wardrobe piece. 3 button lower back skirt so it's fairly tight when buttoned... so you'll get that wiggle walk. If you unbutton, it can be worn more open at the back. Back zipper.

Click on image for additional photos!# 11147 - c. 1950's Frederick & Nelson, Seattle Brown Straw Large Hat with Velvet Trim! "So say you want the look of the large hat, but all you see are black and your outfit is brown. What to do?? ;) Well, for you brown lovers, I have an "Audrey Hepburn" hat in brown straw trimmed in brown velvet. Looks great on just about everyone. Excellent condition.. you just have to fix the elastic if you want.. though most people just wear these hats with hatpins these days and don't use the thin elastic. NEW LISTING! Under $150, so Final Sale Item. $ 145.
[ORDER ITEM - #7137]
Click on image for additional photos!# 7137 - c. 1950's Natural Straw Colored Floral Wide Brim Hat! From a museum deaccession and still has the original museum hangtags. Lovely, floppy straw large brim hat with large silk flowers. However, as you will see from the photos, there is a "bite" out of the edge of the brim at front. Check it out. That's why this hat is in the Under $150 category. So... get creative with a little trimming... a green velvet ribbon diagonally draped on the brim? Smaller matching silk flowers scattered on the brim? Use your millinery design sense to make it your own. Still a great vintage straw hat from a museum !! NEW LISTING! Under $150, so Final Sale Item. $ 145.
[ORDER ITEM - #7134]
Click on image for additional photos!# 7134 - c. 1950's Black Straw Hat with Open Crown! Museum deaccession. Comes with the original tags still attached from the museum, along with the name of the original donors. Love the unique open crown! I suppose it keeps the head from getting too hot? :) Let's the steam out!! :) Bowl shape brim and trimmed in a black taffeta ribbon with large bow at back. Just ever so slightly misshappen, but I'm sure that can be steamed to perfection. The taffeta bow is a bit tired. Easy enough to replace with a new ribbon. Heck, hats used to be re-ornamented all the time back in the old days. NEW LISTING! Under $150, so Final Sale Item.

Click on image for additional photos!# 11146 - c. 1950's EVELYN VARON Model Brown Straw Large Hat with Wheat Sheath and Daisies! A bit of whimsy in this large brown straw hat... at the back is unexpected small wheat sheathes and a few daisies. So with this decor, a great hat for a summer outing. I would have loved to have seen the original dress worn with this hat. The dress must have been just as cute as this hat! Excellent condition with just extreme minor reattaching of the wheat necessary. There is a netting over the hat at the front to also give it a whispy look. Evelyn Varon was a good designer name! NEW LISTING! Under $150, so Final Sale Item. $ 145.

[ORDER ITEM - #5953]
Click on image for additional photos!# 5953 - c. 1980's OLEG CASSINI Paillettes, Sequins and Faux Pearl Evening Top! Black and silver with pearls. This is one of those "shimmy" sounding pieces.... the large paillettes make that sound! Check out the batwing sleeves with the paillettes hanging off! Wide neck. Goes on just over the head. Please note: this is SHEER at the mid section, so you will need to wear it over something! Or not... but don't come cryin' to me if you get a few more stares than you should! :) Has shoulder pads. Excellent condition... probably never worn... still has the original tags. Labeled size SMALL!! However, this will measure up to 46" bust, 42" hips! 24" long from shoulder to hem.

SOLD# 5897 - c. 1900's HARTFORD Patented Ecru Crocheted Slippers! So cool, yet sadly these dark crochet lace slippers have lost their original pink silk lining (only a little is left for you to see what it was). The pink ribbon and bows still exist in decent condition but quite fragile. The crochet itself is in good condition as is the sole. Love the cushy original fleece insole! Incredibly, these are quite large for the era!!! I'd say about size 8!!! Crazy. Who WAS this woman??? Anyway, a sweet pair of slippers for your lingerie collection. NEW LISTING! Under $150, so FINAL SALE item. $ 85. SOLD
[ORDER ITEM #6726]
Click on image for additional photos!# 6726 - c. 2000's ALBERTO MAKALI, New York, Paris, Milano Black Draped Bustier with Beading! Yeah, I know... I'm supposed to be selling antique and vintage items... but every once in a while, I get carried away with some really great new piece. I envision all sorts of things you can do with this! A strapless bustier, wrapped at the front with a long drape with a "spray" of small black beads. That's it! So, I'm thinking you can wear as is, or you can turn it into a halter top with matching or other color scarf or ribbon. Or you can make straps with ribbons, or you can wear with ultra short bolero, or you can.... loads of things!! Dress up, dress down. Whatever you want. A bit too small for this mannequin, so the side zipper will zip up all the way on you (not her - she needs to go on a diet). Measures: 33/34" bust, 28" waist. Mint condition. Marked size 4. Under $150 so final sale.

Click on image for additional photos!# 5856 - c. mid-1970's YVES SAINT LAURENT Rive Gauche, Paris, Made in France Black Silk Jacquard Blouse! First off, the red belt doesn't come with this blouse, but I wanted you to see how it might look either tucked in, or with a belt of your choice. Tu comprends? Whoops... I'm starting to write in French.... must be the blouse!!! :) Excellent condition. Opens at the upper right, so I'm assuming this was from the YSL Russian Collection era. Ready to wear. Love the bow tied at the neck! Labeled size 42. That's an old size 12 US. Shown on a size 6 ish mannequin. But should fit a 6/8 and perhaps a smallish 10. If you're gonna wear a blouse, why not wear YSL! A new Yves Saint Laurent blouse at Neiman Marcus sells for $1,750 !!!! YES... YIKES! Under $150 so final sale.

First off, the black belt doesn't come with this blouse, but I wanted you to see how it might look either tucked in, or with a belt of your choice. Tu comprends? Whoops... I'm starting to write in French.... must be the blouse!!! :) Excellent condition. As this came to me from the same estate as the blouse above, I'm assuming it was purchased from the YSL Russian Collection era. Ready to wear. Love the bow tied at the neck, or tie more floppy!

[ORDER ITEM - #5371A]
Click on image for additional photos!#5371A - c. 1980's Lille Rubin White Lace and Cream Colored Sequin Blouse with Original Camisole! The only reason this blouse is priced so low is the discoloration at the back of the neck lace (see photo) which goes a bit into the one shoulder as well. Haven't tried cleaning it. Otherwise it's quite nice, pretty, frilly and romantic... that's what was popular in the late 1970's, early 1980's! This came from the Lillie Rubin boutique shop. They carried all sorts of designer pieces under their own label. But I wouldn't say this was TOP designer quality, but VERY GOOD. I'm very picky remember!!! Measures: up to 40" bust (but no give to the fabric, so best to be a bit smaller), up to 37" waist, up to 43" hips, with camisole with about a 34" bust - so you can see the blouse is meant to be worn loose and flowy. Rhinestone buttons up the front! The sequins are a slightly different color from the white lace which makes them stand out more. NEW LISTING! Under $150, so FINAL SALE ITEM. $ 45.

Click on image for additional photos!# 3364 - c. 1997 "Titanic" Movie Butterfly Haircomb! NOTE: IMPORTANT! This is NOT the J. Peterman Titanic Butterfly Comb. However, I DO have two of those currently available for sale on the memorabilia page.. for A LOT more money! This comb was purchased back in 2002 (hard to believe this is already 10 years old!!!). It was never used so it's in as pristine a condition as it was when purchased. Click on the photo to see the size of this compared to the J. Peterman comb.. this is much smaller. You will also see that it's just a painted butterfly glued on to a scunci comb. It sold for $60 back in 2002. :) Still a cute butterfly comb for those of you who want the look but don't want to break the bank! Excellent condition. Measures: 3" wide x 3.5" high. NEW LISTING! Under $150, so FINAL SALE ITEM. $ 65.
[ORDER ITEM - #7376]
Click on image for additional photos!# 7376 - c. 1970's White Cotton and Lace "Mexican Wedding Dress"! These white cotton and lace dresses were incredibly popular in the 1970s when the Edwardian whites were "in". For those who didn't couldn't afford to buy an original 1910s dress, but still wanted the look, made these dresses made in Mexico as popular as they were. Worn for weddings, but also as just great summer dresses. They are medium weight cotton, so not for the hottest weather. This one is in Excellent condition. Ready to wear for whatever. Measures: up to 36" bust, up to 28" waist, 50" long from shoulder to hem (meant to be worn mid-calfish... wear with your granny boots! :) Back metal zipper. When looking over this very carefully, I found two tiny spots that are hardly worth mentioning. And since it's white cotton... this should wear well into the next century! :) NEW LISTING!

[ORDER ITEM #9177B]
Click on image for additional photos!# 9177B - c. 1960's Faux Pearl Tie!! I'm so sure I saw pictures of this in Vogue when growing up... or perhaps it was in Seventeen Magazine since that's probably what I was reading back then! Or was is Glamour Magazine? I even think I remember it was modeled by Colleen Corby (look her up if you don't know that face!). Anyway, you will love having this piece in your wardrobe to "mod" up any blouse! You will get loads of compliments! Excellent condition! 12" long from "knot" to bottom. NEW LISTING! Under $150 so Final Sale Item. $ 85.
SOLD# 4517A - c. 1980's LANVIN, Paris, Made in France Fuschia Silk Wide Belt Sash! You know COLORBLOCK dressing is back in vogue, so how better to wear the trend than with a top designer piece from the 1980s.

Nan Duskin, the internationally known boutique that has dressed the best of Philadelphia's high society for nearly 70 years, closed in 1994. Nan Duskin - named for the woman who opened it in 1927 - was the only place in Philadelphia where one could find the most exclusive labels in the world.

[ORDER ITEM - #5989]
Click on image for additional photos!# 5989 - c. 1960's Darcel Exclusive Mod Black Velour and Black Leather Hat! Nice! This is one of those hats from the 1960s that would have been worn high up on the head with hair flowing around... like Emma Peel or Jean Shrimpton. If you don't know who either of these names are... check them out! Two beauties from the era!!! :) The hat is a black velour with black leather brim and as you can see a large flower burst leather "leaves" at the top.... with a top knot at the top! Excellent condition! NEW LISTING! Under $150, so Final Sale Item. $ 95.
[ORDER ITEM - #7132]
Click on image for additional photos!# 7132 - c. 1960's Henri Bendel, Paris, New York Red Wool Pompoms Hat! Henri Bendel is an American upscale women's specialty store based in New York City. Mr. Bendel was a milliner by trade, and was the first retailer to bring the designs of Coco Chanel over to the United States from Paris. The company he founded maintained this tradition of introducing influential socialites to what's new in fashion, so no surprise that this hat came from Bendels. ;) Wild, wacky, unique design. Certainly something that would get noticed! From a museum deaccession. Not sure if it was worn down over the forehead as I show, or more back of the head as was more the style in the 1960s. Wear it however it looks best on you. Excellent condition. NEW LISTING! Under $150, so Final Sale Item. $ 145.
[ORDER ITEM - #7164]
Click on image for additional photos!# 7164 - c. 1950's Nassau, The Bahamas Vacation Dress! I always seek out unique "novelty" items! Anything that just makes you smile. Bringing a bit of whimsy or fun in your wardrobe, though they still have to be attractive enough to wear. So how cool is this! A simple white printed linen dress with "postcards" of Nassau, the Bahamas hotels, transportation and history lessons. As I lifted from some website, "From those halcyon days – when Nassau was a top destination for affluent sailors, powerboaters and game fishermen." SO sad that most all of these hotels are now gone. But this might just be the right dress for some of you with fond memories of these places. Measures: up to 34/35" bust, up to 31" waist, up to 42" hips, 42" long from shoulder to hem, and 16" from shoulder to waist, but stills sits a bit short-waisted - which isn't a problem, and if you are long waisted, you just wear a belt to bring down to your waist. NOTE: I'm 34" bust, 26" waist, 38" hips, and it looks great on me as well! So you don't have to be the larger size above for this to fit beautifully. Not true with many pieces. May have been homemade, but nicely done.
For some reason I forgot to photograph the back, but it's nearly exactly the same as the front, with a back metal zipper. The dress has a waist seam for shape, otherwise it's just a sheath. Excellent condition. Unlined for warm weather. And unhemmed as you see, so will need to hem up where you want. Under $150, so FINAL SALE.$ 95.

SOLD# 5826 - c. 1940's BRILLIANT FASHIONS Black Satin Glamour Skirted Bathing Suit! OK, I have to do this for the Googlers...."1940's bathing suit", "1940's swimsuit". Sorry, what a pain I'm turning out to be, eh? Anyway, how about this? Slightly different from what you might wear today on the beach. :) Hard to see, but there is a cute little tie bow at the front bustline, and interesting inverted "v" seaming at the bust to waistline. Under the skirt, you will find the bloomers. Heavy metal zipper at the back. Great attached tie around the waist will flatter your figure as you need. Excellent condition.... but the elastic in the inner waist needs re-doing (old elastic pretty much always stretches out) and the bloomers might be better with a bit more elastic at the leg, but that's up to you. Measures: 40" bust, up to 33" waist, up to 43" hips, Under $150 so final sale. $ 125. SOLD

OK... so you didn't want to spend $5.4 million for the actual white halter dress that Marilyn Monroe wore in "The Seven Year Itch".... aka "The subway dress"? Well... would you like a black version for a heck of a lot less?? This one is a nice weight black jersey and looks smashing on! Hope you can see the detail of the large diamond shape at middle with all the gathering for a sexy shape. LOW "v" neckline, halter back. Hidden side zipper. Excellent condition. Stretches so it's hard to measure, but it's labeled a size 2 which is about correct with today's sizing. I measure as: up to 34" bust, up to 27" waist, up to 36" hips, 42" long from shoulder to hem. The dress is actually two layers, so it hangs beautifully. NEW LISTING! Under $150, so final sale. $ 145.

Click on image for additional photos!# 5359 - c. 1970's CACHAREL, Made in France Floral Print Viscose Dress! This dress is marked 100% viscose... which moves like a silk just so you know. LOVE the "trumpet" end tot the short sleeves... though hard to see the details in the print.... there is a matching attached tie belt which you can bow in front or back. And unique detailing... there is a zipper on BOTH sides of the dress! Ah, those wacky French designers!! :) Measures: 33/34" bust (even though it can go up to 35" bust on this mannequin, it's awfully low necked at that bust!), up to 28" waist (slightly high or short-waisted), 51" long from shoulder to hem.

[ORDER ITEM - #5370]
Click on image for additional photos!# 5370 - c. 1970's Made in Mexico White Cotton Gown with Pastel Embroidered Floal Design! In the 1970s, Edwardian white lawn dresses came back into vogue, and so did Mexican cotton gowns... many called Mexican wedding gowns. Here's one that is slightly different from the norm, but also from Mexico, 100% cotton gown.. this one with light pink and light aqua blue embroidered flowers at the front bodice and along the tabbed hemline and upper back! The lace edged straps on this gown are VERY long though I'm not sure why... so I show the dress worn as a halter, but certainly it would just just as easy to shorten the straps to wear straight over the shoulders. The upper back of this gown have four long embroidered ""scarves". If you don't like them, the dress is plain under and you can just remove them. I show them just hidden under in one of the photos, OR use the material to increase the size of this gown!! Back zipper. Excellent condition. Measures: 35" bust, up to 25" waist, 17" from shoulder to waist (or shorten straps), 60" long from shoulder to hem. NEW LISTING! Under $150, so final sale. $ 145.

[ORDER ITEM - #5471]
Click on image for additional photos!# 5471 - c. 1970s KROSHETTA by PAPILLON Rayon Crocheted Bolero with Ties! These three crochet pieces came to me from the same elderly woman who had other 1970s pieces, so... I have to assume these are original to that time, even though this label still exists. Certainly they have that 1970s design which means they are right back in style. Black rayon crochet with tie fronts. Excellent condition.

Click on image for additional photos!# 5554 - c. 1970's CREATION LERON Floral Chiffon Gown with Matching Overblouse! Are you an "Autumn"? I'm a "Winter". Or so they tell me. But there must be something to this, since I would look horrible in these colors, and yet my fair-skinned Mother always gravitates to this palette. I remember my ritzy sister brought back a similar floral chiffon outfit from Paris in the 1970's. I was so jealous. I coveted that outfit. But she nearly wore it out she wore it so much. Years later I got the matching blouse from her "hand-me-downs" which I've kept to this day. I never wore it, since it looked great on her (blonde, blue eyed, fair skinned) and as I've said, lousy on me, but I loved to look at it!! So you know I love this gown... and it also comes with the sheer chiffon matching overblouse with attached sash bow at collar and gathered sleeve (which may be overkill worn together - but would be great to wear with other solid color item!) Measures: 34" bust, 27/28" waist, 38" long skirt from waist to hem. Back metal zipper, Sheer lined bodice. Black taffeta skirt under chiffon skirt. Best on 5'2" woman or shorter to be floor length. Excellent condition except for the heel tear in the skirt 2.5" up from the hem. I'd live with it, since you would have likely done the same thing.. and it keeps the price affordable!

The tour grossed over $21,000,000 and The Judds were named the top grossing concert act of 1991. The tour broke records but it broke hearts too, as the girls said a tearful goodbye to the loyal fans who had loved and supported them for nearly a decade. On December 4, 1991, The Judds performed their final concert. The sell-out crowd and over six million pay-per-view fans watched as Wynonna and Naomi took their final bows. It was the end of an era."

Original price of $245, reduced to $171.97, then to $146.97, and finally to $122.50 when they were purchased... but as you can see, this label is hardly touched, so even though there is a bit of wear to the sole, and one dirt mark on one side of the toe, they were likely not worn more than once or twice. So, I'm looking for Cinderella with a size 6.5A foot. WHY?? As they are marked size 8AAAA?? Well, I have NO idea... all I can tell you is that I wear 6.5 M (with a slightly ever so wider than medium foot), and I can wear these (!) though they are just a slightly bit thin, but still not bad. Perhaps a size 6A as well, as I guess they are perhaps a bit small as well, but it's hard to tell as my wider foot might be using up a bit of length. Perhaps this is why they didn't sell at the higher price! Mystery solved! Even at this, the shoes are marked 8AA inside, but someone wrote 8 4A on the tag, and then continued to penmark in the additional two A's inside the shoes!!! WHATEVER! NEW LISTING!

OK, look at the photos first so you can see the small break in the straw on the crown. See it? OK, so now you know why this hat is less than you'd think. The "pretty factor" makes up for the problem, and I figure anyone else would have re-designed the hat to cover the hole with some additional flowers. Too bad I'm so honest. But certainly that's what I would do. Remember, re-trimming hats was what was done through history. Go watch some old Jane Austen movies and you will see usually see scenes of women "working" on their hats and bonnets. Sally Victor was a highly desired label in the 50s. That hat is a stiff, fairly heavy straw, with the lightness of the floppy silk flowers (that could be fluffed up a bit and starched. LOVE that red wooden "fruit" at front with the one white flower!

I've seen other 1920's garters priced over $400, and, in my humble opinion, these are nicer!

So, now that I've said that... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop using those two words together! I know it's become a huge part of modern American language, but it doesn't MEAN anything! The definition of "unique" is "unique"... "one of a kind"... so to say "totally unique" is an "oxymoron" (a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction).
