Vtg 80s Fuchsia Secretary Wiggle Dress w/Ornate Chain Belt - Sz. 14
Vintage Ladies Nancy II Petites Floral Secretary Dress - Sz L

Vtg 90s Grunge Black/Cream Floral Romper Dress - Sz 8

I'll be the first to admit it, but my sales have kind of slowed down on Etsy...I changed my store policy to "no returns" because of a wee little problem of a customer wanting to basically wear an item and then want to return it, so that might be to blame - BUT! these little lovelies have sold in the past few weeks, and I'm so happy that all of my customers were delighted with their purchases!

Please check out my store, because I'm having a blow-out sale - many items are priced from $5.99 to $10.99!

Gorgeous Fuchsia Flapper Outfit - SOLD!

 


Well, I just sold this lovely little 20s-inspired dress to a lovely Etsy customer who's going to wear this to an audition! Since it was the last of my flapper-style dresses, I decided to send her the cloche and necklace for free, and I wish her the best of luck at her audition!
Please check my store for some great sales - I've marked some items down by as much as 50 percent!

I Want to Be a Scottish Princess: Shawl, Skirt, Jacket and Brooch

 




 
Maxine waited patiently on the bluffs of Scotland for her new swain, Ian...she tiptoed to the end of the cliffside, the wind gently buffering her gorgeous shawl...she pulled it tightly as she finally spotted his face, ruddy from the cold...in his hand was a small velvet box...he gallantly dropped to one knee and presented an heirloom claddagh as he asked for Maxine's hand in marriage...

Ladies, you won't find anything else like this beautiful suit and shawl anywhere, on any vintage clothing site! It's made by the famous Doncaster, and features a wool pencil skirt, lovely jacket with velvet trim and velvet buttons, and a breathtaking large shawl to match!

The plaid is done in shades of purple, black, pink, and teal green. I've tried to do some research on it, but I don't know what particular clan this plaid pattern represents. The shawl has immaculate fringe, and the pencil skirt has two slash pockets and a back slit for walking comfort. The suit is fully lined. 100% wool, dry clean only.

I've shown it worn in a variety of ways (white blouse not included), but for the buyer, I will throw in the vintage brooch for FREE! The shawl also looks cute pair with black skinny jeans and a turtleneck sweater - this is *such* a pretty and versatile outfit! The jacket features large 80s-style shoulderpads. It's marked a size 12, but please refer to the measurements below to ensure a proper fit:

Jacket:
Shoulder: 17"
Bust: 21" (double)
Waist: 17" (double)
Hip: 21.5" (double)

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!

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!

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!

Henry Lee 60s/70s Three-Piece Secretary Outfit - Polyester HEAVEN in a Vintage Size 16!







Ah...the good ol' days...Maxine hails a cab and heads downtown to her office job - she slips into the elevator and quickly powders her nose in its mirrored walls...she feels confident and powerful in her *stunning* and RARE three-piece outfit by the famous Henry-Lee! Time to make coffee for that demanding boss of hers...

This outfit includes a dress, jacket, and coordinating belt - the dress features a tobacco-brown bodice with a spiffy tie at the neckline, and the skirt is done in a textured heavy poly knit of brown, blue, and white. The coordinating jacket is done in the same pattern as the skirt, and boasts gorgeous soutache trim down the bodice, on the pockets, and on the sleeves (see photos). One of the sharpest features on this outfit is the navy blue shiny belt - it has no holes so it's completely adjustable for comfort, and it can be worn on the dress or outside the jacket!

The only issue with this outfit is that one of the buttons on the left wrist (see pic 2) is missing its little gold "ring" but other than that, it's still in excellent vintage condition!

This outfit is marked a vintage size 16, and in my estimation it could fit a modern 10/12, but please refer to all measurements listed below:

Jacket:
Shoulders: 15"
Bust: Open - no buttons
Waist: Open - no buttons
Hip: Open - no buttons
Sleeve: 22"
Length: 24.5"

Dress:
Shoulder: 16"
Bust: 20" (double)
Waist: 16.5" (double)
Hip: 19.5" (double)
Length: 41"

Belt: 38.5" long

Price:  $99.99 plus $8.00 US shipping; $ 19.95 for internation shipping.

Thanks for stopping by! :)
