New Etsy Listing: Vintage Grecian Goddess/Hostess Gown

Maxine's a vision as she opens her double doors to receive her guests in this lovely, silky-feel hostess dress by Butterfield 8!

This dress is done in regal shades of purple and a sort of violet/lavender, and it features beautiful Grecian-style embroidered trim on the cuffs, bodice, and waist. It's also got a daring, high slit on the left thigh - you might consider a slip or some sort of pettipants if you wear this out to a party, but I'll leave that up to you! :)

It's marked a size small, but please refer to the measurements below to ensure a proper fit:

Shoulder: 15"
Bust: 18" (double)
Waist: 13" (double, NO stretch)
Hip: Free
Sleeve: 23"
Length: 52.5" shoulder to hem

https://www.etsy.com/listing/127955503/vtg-70s-dark-cream-angel-dress-wchiffon

 

When I was dressing Maxine in this breathtaking dress, I couldn't help but hum "Earth Angel!"

We present, for your approval, a lovely gown by "Changes." It's dark cream in color, and it features huge chiffon angel sleeves, and a beautiful rosette on the bodice. The trim is dark brown, and it has an empire waistline.

It's marked a vintage size 18. To me, it seems to translate into a modern 14, but please refer to the measurements below to ensure a proper fit:

Shoulder: 16.5"
Bust: 19" (double)
Waist: 17" (double)
Hip: 21" (double)
Sleeve: 23"

This dress is in a rare plus-size, and would look beautiful at a wedding or a party!

Vintage Gothic/Witchy Satin & Brocade Dress in Treasury List on Etsy!

 

Featured on Etsy Treasury List!!

 

Attention all witchy women, or those who'd like to be...Maxine and I present to you the ULTIMATE in gothic fabulousness for Samhain celebrations, a good ol' fashioned Halloween party, or to be the dark belle of the ball at any club!

This is a rare, hard-to-find vintage dress from SUBTERRAENA. This is no cheesy costume-type dress...this here is the *real* deal! It's done in a heavy brocade/jacquard fabric, with charmeuse satin down the entire front of the gown (in a polyester/cotton/rayon blend), and it's a heavy gown! It's marked dry-clean only. It's my dress, and I've only worn it twice. :)

It features ginormous bell sleeves, and a corset-like bodice that ties in the front. Dress is unlined, but with the heavy fabric, it's not see-through at all. Sleeves have a double layer.

It's marked a size "medium," but please go by the following measurements:

Shoulder: 16.5"

Bust: 17" (double, does not stretch)

Waist: 14 3/4" (double, does not stretch)

Hip: Free

Length: 53.5" shoulder to hem

Sleeve length: approx. 28"

Sleeve sweep: 52"

Hem sweep: 35.5"

It can be laced tighter through the bodice and waist simply by pulling the ties!

Jewelry not included, but if you're interested in the Alchemy Gothic slave bracelet shown, e-mail me with an offer!

I have TONS of photos - just e-mail me for more, and please feel free to ask me any questions prior to purchase. 

Hand-Painted Ladies Caftan/Hostess Dress - Medium to Small Plus-Size!

Maxine's looking like a goddess today in her vintage, hand-painted caftan! I've never seen a piece quite like this one - it's done in a heavy crinkle-cloth material (maybe a cotton blend?) and it's hand-painted in lovely shades of orange, red, yellow, green and blue, and it's even signed "Judy" at the bottom by the artist!

It doesn't look hand-sewn, but there are no labels in it. Please refer to the measurements below:

Shoulder: Open

Bust: 20" (double)

Waist: 18" (double)

Hip: 22" (double)

Length: 54" shoulder to hem

Sleeve: 22"

Price:  $99.00 plus $8.00 US shipping; $19.95 international shipping.

This caftan will be professionally drycleaned before it gets sent out, unless you request otherwise - it should fit anyone from about a modern medium to a small plus-size, based upon measurements.  Don't let this beauty get away!  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!
