New Shoes, Sweater, Peasant Top & Secretary Outfits on ETSY!


 Wow!  I sure wish these fit me - I call these my Edie/Twiggy 60s shoes - they are by Ferragamo Schiavone, made in Italy, and should fit a 5.5 to a narrow 6.  Priced right!
This is a gorgeous hand-knit granny square open cardi, and it's done in the fabulous orange/avocado green/gold colors that were *everywhere* in the 70s - pick it up before the fall season begins!

This heavily-embroidered peasant top was made in Mexico, and should fit a modern small to medium (40" bust).  Accessories not included, but contact me via Etsy if you're interested in them!

Sweet two-piece secretary/church/luncheon outfit from Blair, marked a size 14 petite.

Another two-piece secretary style outfit by the one and only Leslie Fay - it's a size 12, but should also fit a 14 based upon its measurements.  Thanks for stopping by!  :)http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheVaVaVoomShoppe

Vintage 90s UGLY Power Suit w/Embroidery Size M/L






Oh boy...it doesn't get more over-the-top than this, does it?? Maxine presents the ultimate in 80s kraptastic-ness - a vintage 80s power suit by Stella Lowe for KB!

In around 1990 or so, I would have strutted into the office thinking I looked fresh in this - why not look fresh, too?  What comes around, fashion-wise, goes around! :)

This suit features huge shoulder pads, black and gold buttons down the front of the jacket, and just check out the elaborate beadwork and embroidery! None of the beads are missing! Makes you want to watch re-runs of the Golden Girls, doesn't it? This suit is dry clean only, and both pieces are fully lined.

No size tag listed, so based upon the following measurements, I'd say it would best fit a modern medium to large, but please read meas. to ensure a proper fit:

Shoulder: 16.5"
Bust: 20" (double)
Waist: 16" (double)
Hip: 19" (double)
Length: 31" shoulder to hem
Sleeve: 23.5"

Skirt:
Waist: 13.5" to 14.5" (double - has partial elastic waist)
Hip: 20" (double)
Length: 21.5"

Price:  $25.99 plus $5.00 US shipping; $13.95 international shipping.
