90s Grunge Velvet Festival Dress on Etsy Treasury List!

 



 
Maxine heads off to a grunge music revival in her gorgeous emerald green crushed velvet mini-dress by Styles to Go!

This dress features large buttons on the collar - you can wear it all buttoned up, or unbutton it (see pics) for a more casual look. It's got kind of a goth vibe, depending on how you choose to accessorize it - I think it would look cute with black tights and boots, huh? Adding a hat or a belt would look great, too!

It's marked a size medium (I think it could fit a large), but please refer to the meas. below to ensure a proper fit:

Shoulder: 18"
Bust: 20" (double)
Waist: 18.5" (double)
Hip: 20" (double)
Sleeve: 21.5"
Length: 35" shoulder to hem
Only $19.99 plus $5.00 US shipping; international shipping is $13.95.  Thanks for stopping by, and don't miss out on this dress - it would be perfect for the upcoming fall season!

Hot Pink EDIE Factory Girl Dinner Dress - Vtg sz 16, Modern 12





https://www.etsy.com/listing/90342526/vintage-hot-pink-edie-sheath-dinner

Maxine looks every inch a Youthquaker today in her stunning poly sheath dinner dress by Robinknits! This dress reminds me of something Edie Sedgewick might have worn back around 1967 or so...

The dress is done in a heavy, textured doubleknit poly, and the actual colour is *much* brighter than my camera could convey (more of a hot pink), and it's got the cutest collar! The bust features flattering pintucks, and the sleeves...oh, check out these sleeves, would you? They're 3/4, and they sort of balloon out below the elbows!

It's marked a vintage size 16, but it fits me and I'm a modern 10/12, but please refer to the measurements listed below for proper fit:

Shoulders: 15.5"
Bust: 20.5" (double)
Waist: 19" (double)
Hip: 20.5" (double)
Sleeve: 16.6"
Length: 39"

Necklace not included in listing.

Price:  $65.99 plus $8.00 US shipping; $19.95 international shipping.

Thanks for stopping by!

Vtg Lipstick Red ALFRED SHAHEEN Asian-Inspired Maxi Dress M/L


I couldn't decide which of Maxine's wigs best set off the feel of this gorgeous ALFRED SHAHEEN maxi dress, so I decided to dress her up in both, and let you decide!!

This dress is absolutely stunning - it's done in a thick, true lipstick red polyester, and features full chiffon sleeves, and Shaheen's famous Asian writing down the front of the dress. It zips up the back, has a mandarin collar and seven buttons near the left collarbone area. It has a sexy slit up the left-hand side, which measures 21". It's machine washable, tumble dry low. There are a couple of small snags towards the bottom, but they are not noticeable when worn.

There is an Alfred Shaheen tag inside, and also a tag that says "Betty Bone." I don't know who Betty Bone is, so perhaps you'll have better luck researching her than I did! :) The size tag is too faded to read, so please refer to the following measurements to ensure a proper fit:

Shoulder: 15.5"
Bust: 18.5" (double)
Waist: 17" (double)
Hip: 20" (double)
Sleeve: 33"
Length: 56.5" shoulder to hem


Price:  $120.00 plus $8.00 US shipping; international shipping is $16.95.  Don't let this beauty get away!
