Listing of the day: Earth Angel Cream Maxi-Dress - Size 18 (Modern 14)

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"
Length: 57"
 
This dress is in a rare plus-size, and would look beautiful at a wedding or a party!
 
Price:  $89.99 plus $8.95 US shipping.
 
Thanks for looking!

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!

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! :)
