I just got this 40s garbardine dress on Ebay with a buy it now. Very reasonable price. I've been all about this coral color lately and just bought my fella a matching shirtjac for his birthday! Of course, I know what this means - now I have to be on the lookout for navy shoes, as I have nothing to match this dress!

 

[Miss_Bella_Hell]

Hahaha! You bought it! I can't wait to see it!

 

[KittyT]

Hahaha! You bought it! I can't wait to see it!

Oh yes, and thanks to Miss Bella, my ebay buddy, for pointing it out to me!

 

[goldwyn girl]

KittyT, that is some spectacular colour combination !!

Two purchases from the weekend. More poodle's for the bathroom and a lucite purse.

 

[kamikat]

I got this for a steal on the bay! My wardrobe is lacking in the hat department. Right now, this is my only vintage hat.

 

[deadpandiva]

This dress was cheap because the arm and side where split right on the seam. It took 3 seconds to fix.

This doesn't show up well but it's a really cute dress that fits perfectly.

man this super serkit vacation I'm saving up for better, rock, I would have loved getting that hat! :rage:

 

[The Shirt]

Darn it Diva - you're so darn cute.
Goldwyn - I found the most perfect poodle lamps for your collection this weekend - I immediately thought of you when I saw them.

Here's what I picked up instead though. Cute little cherry pin (poor picture) and yet another handbag. But this one is in pristene condition, from britain, tags attached and a lush leather interior.

 

[goldwyn girl]

The Shirt, I must have quite the poodle reputation love the pin and the purse, always a bonus with the tags still on.

kamikat, we must see you in your new hat.

deadpandiva, I agree, you are cute and have a beautiful smile

 

[deadpandiva]

^ Thank you both. I love both of those Purses. I must buy more vintages purses. I am up to two.

Some recent things!

 

[Miss 1929]

I will take pictures!

Wow! Stunning! Can we see the matching piece you have?

It's signed "WMCA" which is White Metal Casters Association, dating it to the early 30s. I have this amazing HUGE bracelet (which a friend who knows these things says may be 20s Chanel) and the dress clips. I am a sucker for emeralds! I am planning to make an emerald gown this spring.

I will make a little display and take pics. For some reason my camera and my laptop are not speaking to each other, so every time I want a picture, I have to download it to hubby's array and export them - it's cramping my style on the Lounge!

I found this lovely dress on the 'bay.

We clean and repair vintage dresses at my work, so I'm going to bring it in there and try to get it as white as possible, take it in a smidge and any other repair work that may need to be done. Then I think I'm going to take off that pleating at the top and replace it. I don't think it works with the dress. What do you think?

Gorgeous Sari!

I just won these two little beauties dirt cheap from Ebay US:

I'm particularly chuffed with the pendleton jacket - it's so hard to find them in smaller sizes so I've been looking for ages and it was only $25 inc shipping.

I have a very similar orlon top - same colour, same type of beading to the collar, but it's a pull over style and not a button up blouse. Ah, the exchange rate is great isn't it?

I was watching that KittyT, glad to see it went to a lounger! I love the contrast of the coral with navy. As well as matching shoes you'll need a matching handbag too

I think it's very cute! Don't hurt it

Just kidding - do what you will. I think it won't stand out as much on a body with a slip underneath.

Dead Pan, you're adorable!

Such cute purses, all! I MUST get a lucite purse soon *sigh*

Luckily I do have a navy handbag, not vintage though. Oh! and a chance to wear my FFs with navy heels and seams
