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

Folkloric: Plaid Suit & Shawl Featured on Etsy Treasury List

 

 

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:

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

https://www.etsy.com/listing/90368248/vintage-henry-lee-3-piece

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! :)

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.
