"Antelope" pinking shears, I love the handles! The patent for these was issued in late December of 1949, so these are probably from the early 50s.

Lauren, thank you!

I bought this dress yesterday from etsy, I can't wait for it to get here. It'll be my first real vintage dress

 

[JennyLou]

That is such a cute dress Quixoticlio. Nice find.

I have been meaning to take pictures of two really beautiful dresses I found in London, both in prestine condition, one with tags still. Both fits as if they were molded to me! Both are from the early 50s.

The first is a femme fatale, black silk velvet cocktail dress with halterneck and ivory trimming on the bust and detailed pockets.. really gorgeous and I become such a bitch in it

The second is a very sweet white dress with pink flowers, mossgreen leaves and drawings of flowers. Halterneck aswell with an almost full skirt..

I am wearing the latter tonight to go dancing, so hopefully there'll be a few snaps of it!

 

[SayCici]

Reeaally hoping those last two aren't duds.

Oh I love those dresses---if they don't work out, let me know and I'll take them off your hands!

My patience has paid off. I finally have a Leluxe dress- on clearance and half off!

Those are great!
fftopic: Does anyone know how to sharpen pinking shears? I have my Grandmothers in their original box (I believe they are Antelope too)
but they need to be sharpened.

Hello Ladies,

This is one of my most recent purchases. The lighting does not give this dress its justice! I love it so much! It has 6 tiers of fringe. And the straps are adjustable. I got this dress from ebay.

 

[CherryWry]

You ladies and your gorgeous dresses are making me reconsider my reluctance to buy clothing I can't try on first. With E-bay I usually stick to compacts and furniture. A recent buy I'm hoping will show up in today's mail:

This is a cutie, I'm already thinking of hairstyles to match the dress

 

[zendy]

Waiting for this one to arrive. The cut is very average but I just couldn't pass up that print.

 

[SayCici]

Nice, zendy! I always thought the print was nice.

 

[goldwyn girl]

Everyone had picked up some lovely things.

SayCici, I especially like your grey dress

CherryRed, I have my pinking shears sharpened at the fabric store.
