A Whirlwind of Etsy Sales - Thanks To My Loyal Customers!

Just wanted to thank all of my loyal customers on Etsy - all of these items have sold this week, and I'm forever grateful for your support, and I hope you all love your new shoes and clothes!  http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheVaVaVoomShoppe

This is such a cozy sweater!

Sorry for Maxine's lack of decorum here - I promise she never leaves the house sans pantalones.

I LOVE this pantsuit...never got a chance to wear it - it's perfect for fall, no?



This little hipster sweater is perfect for hanging out in the coffee shop!

The pictures of this pantsuit don't do it justice!  The colors are so vibrant, and it's sure to glean compliments!

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! :)
