Another vintage 50s little black dress just listed

I have just listed another classic little black dress by one of my favourite vintage brands Carlye. They were such a quality brand. It has alternating rows of inset lace and half-moon-shaped pintucking. I just love the double box-pleated skirt too. The belt isn't original and is not that old but is included. I think the gold trim sets it off.  If you care to have a look please go to vintageclothing.com.au

Another perfect little black dress has arrived

Wow, 'New Look' styling at its best. This divine LBD is by Doris Dodson and looks to have never been worn with its original little tailored belt. Has wonderful red organza lining under the skirt to create the bubble hem. Available at vintageclothing.com.au

Pretty in pink ... gingham that is

When I spotted the top three delightful photos by the lovely Carla Coulson taken at the Tuileries Garden in Paris recently I was reminded of a dress I have listed on vintageclothing.com.au

Pink gingham is so perfect for spring don't you think. Mine originates from the sixties, has never been worn and still has swing tags attached. Such a rare gem.

I highly recommend having a look at Carla's website and blog. Not only is she an acclaimed photographer who originates from Australia and now lives in Paris with her Italian husband but she is also a published author who has written four very readable books. On top of all this she is a thoroughly nice person.

New arrival ... ideal for spring wedding

I have just listed this gorgeous 1950s dress in mocha coloured lace and silk organza. The flower is original and just sets it off. So feminine and pretty, would make a divine spring wedding dress.

What a line-up of fashion elite

Saw this old movie made in 1958 called Bonjour Tristesse advertised recently and decided to record it. The cast included David Niven, Deborah Kerr, Jean Seaberg and Juliette Greco.
 
When the opening credits started I was thrilled to see the clothes were by Givenchy, accessories by Hermes and jewellery by Cartier. What a line-up of fashion elite.

It certainly didn't disappoint from a fashion, story and location viewpoint.

New arrivals

Sorry I have taken so long to post but hope these fab new arrivals will inspire my readers. I particularly love the vintage 70s garments by Australian designers Norma Tullo (tweed jacket with velvet collar and trim) and Merco Davron (black and silver long dress).

It's by Saba Jnr of California and is in lace and chiffon with nude acetate satin lining. Such a stunner.
