Just bought this from a vintage shop in Crystal Palace...

The lady in the shop says it's 1950s, but it's in such a beautiful condition that I struggle to believe it's so old. Can anyone confirm the era?

Hello,
I bought this cute sweater for Fall to wear to work (you can't see it well, but it has bees on it). I had my eye on a different one, that had foxes on it, but they didn’t have a medium. Drat!
X,

That is a beautiful dress Black Dahlia. Sorry it didn't fit.

Miss Golightly and deadpandiva. Thanks...I wish it fit too. Oh well. Maybe something better for me is just around the corner....

I love that a lot of the Koret handbags have little change purses inside them....

Lovely bag! :eusa_clap

I got this Butterick 48 pattern which is to make a robe, think I'll do it in peach or coral silk-satin or perhaps a jade green, I guess I'll know when I see the fabric.

And I got these lush shoes by kate Kuba for a steal lol

Not strictly vintage but nice all the same.

Also got this vintage nautical playsuit that I wore on saturday night and then the strap broke. That's the only trouble with vintage isn't it, the degredation of seams and stitching. It should mend up ok mind.

Thanks Ada!

I hear you about vintage falling apart when worn- such a cute playsuit but at least you can fix the strap. The beautiful gossamer dress I wore to my Hen night started to fall apart the second I left the house and continued to do so for the rest of the night - it was in shreds by the time I got home - no amount of thread could rescusitate it!

Love the shoes too - they will go with so much!

Just got this lovely little 50s jacket for £15 on Etsy! Been looking for something like this as we approach autumn. Seller says there are some rips in the lining but hopefully nothing that can't be mended!

Sorry for giant image! I hate it when it does this....

Miss golightly - oh the shame, I hope you had clean knickers on lol

I adore this.

Thanks, it's actually navy but the pics show it as really blue.

Oh my goodness...

Yes, I finally got my book in the mail! I found it on the 'bay for 2.99

It's a first edition print from 1963. I cannot believe I am actually going to try this...I'm nervous and excited, I have been wanting to make my own shoes since I was a teen. I hope the experiment is successful.

Please keep us posted. I'd really like to see what comes of that. I'd love to make shoes for myself.

Miss Becky, definitely post pictures of your endeavors! That looks like a great find.

There's a pink version I've seen too but I can't justify two identical playsuits in two colours!
