Pheasants and Velvet Tie Dress

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 21:03:28 -0400

$70.00
This darling dress is crafted from vintage red velvet, black floral lace, and rich blue and tan cotton adorned with flowers and birds. This dress is made to be loose and then tied tightly in the back.

I would call this dress a medium, but it could fit a number of sizes because of its loose nature and lace ties in the back.

Measurements:
38 inch bust (but meant to be loose)
36 inch waist (when not tied - ties to a smaller size)
Bust to bottom hem: 23 inches

Bluebird Doily Top

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 21:03:27 -0400

$45.00
This navy blue top is constructed from a vintage doily and a men's button down shirt. The original buttons are in the back. Lovely eyelet lace adorns the top edge of this recycled piece. The buttons were hand-covered with bits of a vintage embroidered tablecloth. This top is eco-friendly and oh so sweet.

The top is shown on a 36 inch bustline (but because it meant to fit loosely it would fit a number of sizes in that range).
