Sugarplum Cupcake Dress

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:52:52 -0500

$125.00
So I recently found this dress lovely packed away for over four years. I wore it years and years and years ago to my prom and felt like a magical fairy princess confection. It is a gorgeous dress. Layers and layers of pale pinkish purple chiffon(?) will transform you into a fairy princess or 50’s prom queen. So, so, so pretty! I’m having a hard time saying goodbye, but hope it finds a loving home!

Chest: 36”
Waist: 26”
Hip: 42”
Brand: Handmade
Circa: 1950s
Condition: Good Vintage Condition. Since it has been in storage for so long, I would definitely dry clean it. Some small marks, left strap is a little damaged, some small alteration. Nothing very noticeable.
Approximate size: Medium/Smallish Medium
Materials: Chiffon/rayon(?) I’m terrible at guessing fabrics

Vintage Japanese Airlines Bag

This is one of my favorite bags I'm ready to part with! It is a winderful vintage Japanese Airlines travel bag I found years ago in London. I like to think about all the wonderful places this bag has been!

It measures about 12" tall by 10 1/2" across by 3 1/2" wide. It has a large pocket on the front, but no pockets inside. Very good vintage condition. The bag has a few scuffs and is a little dirty. I'm sure it can be washed and cleaned up to look new.

Super cute!
