Items of the Week!

My Goodness, My Guinness! Boy, did we score on some great treasures this week! We were lucky enough to be in contact with a local woman who had previously owned her own vintage boutique and graciously sold us her beauties! Here is a little taste of what we have in stock, my personal favs.

First off, is a stunning 1950's prom dress. It is eggshell white, strapless with a heartshaped bust. It has two layers of tulle over the dress, followed by a third layer of beautiful lace. It is absolutely darling!

We have plenty of evening and party dresses that range from the 1940's to the 1960's. Such as a great sharkskin dress that screams "Madmen", a black hourglass shaped dress that mermaids out with lots of black tulle that was just made for a Mambo Mama, a sleeveless black wiggle dress showered in sequins...and much much more! There is everything from jaw dropping show stopper gowns to girls night out party dresses!
Unless you have a dress made for you by a professional seamstress it is nearly impossible to find the quality and construction of these vintage dresses in anything being marketed in malls today.

In addition to red carpet worthy dresses, we have a couple new swimsuits that will certainly be perfect to welcome summer in! The picture on the left is of a seablue knit swimsuit that is trimmed in white. It has adorable cap sleeves, and a very low cut back that ends in a white bow.
Behind it is a long white lace coat, made to be swimsuit cover-up. I bet if you shortened it, it would make a sassy little dress too!

We've also got an array of beautiful long dresses now in stock. Some long sleeved, some sleeveless, all stunning. There is a fantastic 70's AJ Bari dress in a brown print with a multi-colored rope belt to nip it at the waist and a perfect Young Edwardian 70's sleeveless dress in black with pink flowers. It has a victorian lace collar and a lace ruffle at the knee. Two really lovely pieces.

My favorite item from the 1960's we have is a 2-piece dress and jacket set. The label on the dress reads Sears "Great Looking Dresses"...and it certainly is a great looking dress! It is a mod cut (which means short and sleeveless), black dress with orange and black detail at the waist and neckline. The same detail surrounds the black jacket, trimming it at the sleeve and jacket front.

Lastly, we have got in some really amazing accessories. Gloves, hats, heels, clutches and handbags. We also have some handsome mens fedoras in stock too!

Need we say more? Come in and see these prizes for yourself!
