I love your shoes Miss Hannah. Wow, those pants fit you so well too. And I'm positiveloy green with envy for your nightgown Fleur. I love the bodice.

Does anyone know the history of the Sally Stitch Push Button Dress Form? I just got one on ebay and I think it has to be pretty old. I wonder what company made it. I oiled it and replaced some screws and adjusted it to fit me today. It's a little short waisted for me, but I don't want to break it, so hesitate to be too rough with it and the proportions are mostly right. Hmmm. Now I get to name her. I could call her "Sally with a y" since my name is Sallie as well. Hmm, maybe I could be a but more creative.

I had some success out at "The Way We Wear" vintage fair in Sydney yesterday (and I know some other Loungers did as well!).

I fell in love with this 1930s capelet - even more so after I'd bought it, so much so that I wore it to a cocktail party last night. So soft. It was used in the BBC wardrobe department, but the sellers didn't know in which production - so if anyone's seen it, let me know!

and this black satin dress. The lace inset has rhinestones and beads set in it as well, but they don't show up in the photo (I'll also wear rather different foundation garments when I wear it, so it doesn't look so odd in the bust!):

Thanks ladies, I do get an image of Rita in something like it! yay!

Lovely items Mojito and Miss Hannah (and anabolina!)! I love those clarkes wedges too. Hannah fftopic: but can I ask how long your long wait was? I've had something go awol, it's been around 5 weeks or so, with no sign. It will definitely have had to go through customs but it's never takne this long before.

Just received 3 pairs of 40's heels - Had to pay £13.26 Import tax on top of the £30ish pounds - All that and they don't even fit despite the measurements being listed - It's just one of those weeks!

Hi, Thanks for the compliments on my starfish dress! I have it with me on vacation. There is no washing machine, so I soaked it in some Biz in the sink and then hung it out in the fresh seashore air!

misshannah - those pants are great. I wish that I could find vintage pants that fit me.

mojito, I love the sleeves on the satin dress! Fabulous.

Mojito!!!! Oh, when you post, I fall over and faint every time! Sooo lovely.

 

[LadyStardust]

Breathtaking, Mojito!

Aurora, I PM'd you. Ada Veen and Dandelion Vintage, thanks for the compliments!

Miss Hannah - I love your new dress and petticoats! Divine!

Fifties Freak - that tripod planter absolutely has to be converted into a Champagne stand with ice.

Miss S and Mojito-beautiful things!

Nice purchases everyone!

An afternoon trip to the Antique shop turned up some nice treasures - but in my haste I forgot to photograph the items in their "before" state! I will post their after images when I get feeling better - making the necklaces took about all the energy I could muster! (Darn you sore throat and ear ache!!)

 

[Ada Veen]

Loving the hats, missS and foofoo gal! I really do not own enough hats.

 

[Mojito]

Thank you, ShortClara, LadyStardust and Vintage Betty. Dandelion-Vint, I fell in love with the sleeves too - they match the colour of the silk under the lace, and they way they're designed to show the contrasting silk intrigued me. I love your starfish dress, btw - I love marine themed prints!

and a writing tablet, with guides to write in straight lines....wooo

and an old book....which I posted in the Display case old book thread....from 1893....all about house and home and all sorts of things
