Vintage 60s Mini Sheath Dress RED AND BLACK Brocade S M Petite

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 19:10:25 -0500

$39.99
Abstract diamond and floral design. A classic fitted sheath with very high jewel neckline and the tiniest capped sleeves. Mini length. Fabric is likely an acetate, or similar blend. Black section is a flat weave but the red sections are slightly nubby. A lovely shade of berry red with a hint of burgundy. Unlined. Metal back zipper. Estimated vintage 1960s.

Note: The shoulders in this dress are very narrow and it has quite high armholes and is short waisted, so I am presuming it is a "petite". Will best suit a figure with a smaller bust & shoulders who is curvier in the hips. For reference our model is 5'6" tall: 34 bust, 27.5 waist, 37 hips and dress didn't fit right because it was too short on the upper body.

Length 34.5 inches

Condition:
GREAT CONDITION. At first glance it looks perfect but close inspection reveals some forgivable flaws. The settings of the prong set rhinestones have darkened with age and it looks like there is one missing. Exterior is clean, but inside lining has a couple of water stains on the skirt (not seen when worn), and there is writing on marker on inside bodice (not seen when worn). Overall, a stunning and unusual dress that presents beautifully! We have not drycleaned this dress.

Vintage 20s 30s Skirt with Train Blue Satin and Silver Embroidered Net XS

$225.00
This rare Rare Vintage late 20s or 30s skirt or underskirt (slip) with train is only available from Empress Jade Vintage on Etsy!

I've had this piece in my collection for a very long time and have finally decided to part with it. It's so unusual, and I've never come across anything like it and I suspect it may have been made as part of a stage costume. The upper part of the skirt is made from lingerie weight blue satin (cut on the straight) with hidden waistband and side closure of metal snaps. Sheer lace insertion at hip level is outlined in silver metallic thread embroidery. Lower portion is very fine gauge sheer blue net that extends to form a train. Edges have double ruffles of net machine embroidered with real metal.... slightly tarnished, so I suspect it's real silver. All interior seems are folded over, so I cannot get a snippet for a burn test; the satin section looks and feels like an early rayon acetate. A stunning display piece, and wearable with care.

Leather Corset Vest by Char Vintage 60s Hand Painted Mexico M L

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:43:18 -0500

$400.00
This is a one of a kind, authentic vintage vest by Char. Very RARE and collectible. Sexy corset tie front with leather ties threaded through metal grommets. Whip stitched leather seams on sides and ties at shoulders. Sleeveless, cropped, with deep scoop neckline. Gorgeous hand painted flowers, swirls and zig zags. The back is not painted. Unlined. More pictures available upon request.

Char's hand painted leather accessories and clothing were made in Mexico from 1968 to approx 76, or 77. Her early work exemplifies the hippie esthetic, with novelty patchwork, hand painted details and leather cording.

Tags: Char, L, Hecho in Mexico

Measurements:
Length 16.5 inches
Bust 36 inches (with cording tied tight in front)
Bottom of vest 28 inches
For reference our mode has a 34" bust and we did have to clip the vest in the back as it was too large.

Condition:
Better than EXCELLENT condition. Lovely in every way. There is a fold line on the back and natural variations in the leather which I do not consider a flaw. I have not used any leather cleaner or conditioner on the vest. Clean and looks unworn.
