Louise Lovely was a golden girl of early silent cinema and one of the first residents of Melbourne’s Labassa Mansion which hosted an eclectic group of bohemian artists. Lovely was often noted as charming with a lack of pretension and was quoted saying that she “loved flowers but hated picking them”. It is with this free bohemian spirit that we can picture Louise roaming the mansion barefoot in her favourite satin skirt, peplum blouse and a string of pearls. The mint satin skirt is high in the waist, fastened by a hook & eye and flows mid-calf. Perfect for an afternoon of gazing at flowers and getting your roommate to pick them.
Size & Fit - approximate size 10-12, is fitted in the waist and flows over the hips.
Waist 14.5 inch
Hips 27.5 inch
All measurements are taken while the garment is lying flat.
Material - satin rayon
Condition - Excellent vintage condition, no sign of age or wear but please note that this item is coming up to 100 years old.
Joey Styling Tips - We’ve gone a bit eclectic ourselves and paired this dreamy peppermint skirt with a tangerine mock turtle neck, and an 80s fruit perspex belt (also available for purchase) and snake print ballet flats. Alternatively, a cropped cable knit and knee-high boots would be a cosy winter look, add a beret to finish it off. Louise loved some fancy headwear.
Returns Policy
CLUB JOEY VINTAGE RETURN/ CANCELLATION POLICY (PLEASE READ BEFORE MAKING A PURCHASE)
Please ensure you are fully committed to purchasing. Once your item is added to the cart and funds are sent to us, any cancellation thereafter will incur a 15% re-stocking fee for the total amount of the item AFTER shipping is added.
Etsy charges us for every item sold and if the item is re-listed we are charged again so it is paramount that all purchases are considered.
We do NOT accept returns. Every item we sell in our store has been pre-owned and pre-loved by somebody else. This means that there may be condition issues with the garment listed. We in turn will ensure that any vintage flaws are listed and include conditions in which the vintage items are. We aim to disclose all this information in the description so please read carefully upon purchase.
We have carefully measured each garment so please abide by these measurements when referring to size as vintage size tags will not always equate to standard sizing today. If you have any further questions before purchasing please DM us and we will do our best to provide further photos of flaws or answer any questions you may have. Again these are all pre-loved and some pieces are very old so please take this into consideration upon finalising your purchase. Our aim is to be thoughtful with what we sell so we hope you do the same when buying.
Thanks!
