1930s

This easily may be the BEST feedsack blouse we have ever seen!

Fashioned out of an authentic cotton feed sack, the fabric has more of a stiff hand (since it's made of an industrial purposed cotton) and not a soft broken in feel. Blouse is collarless with a very structural peplum and interesting asymmetrical button details.

Blouse fastens up the front with two buttons and a snap.

Pairs well with jean, slacks or a skirt.

Blouse has a small 3/4" rust colored stain under the bottom button as well as a 1/2" dark stain on the left peplum. There is the faintest yellowing under the arms. Fortunately, the pattern is so busy these flaws are barely noticeable.  There is a stitch line near the left armhole where the original maker made a mistake when making the piece, but given the nature of feed sack they are still visible.  None of these flaws detract from the amazingness of this piece. Priced accordingly. 

You'll look and feel like a doll in this sweet little frock!

This beautiful frock has been to its fair share of parties, but it still has a lot of life left! We think the chiffon was originally a brighter yellow to match the slip and has faded with washings over time. We can't confirm that. It's just a hunch. Dress has a number of small faint stains on the front and back of the bodice and one some of the tiers. (See photos)The hem of the skirt also is stained and it has an old repair. Some of the ruffles are separating from the dress and there are a few small holes under one of the front ruffles. (See photo) Still wearable with care. Priced accordingly.

You'll look like a work of art in this beautiful painterly dress. 

Fashioned in lightweight sheer floral chiffon, this gorgeous gown features a bias cut, flutter sleeves and chevron pin-tuck detailing on the skirt. 

Dress comes with its original belt and fastens up the side with metal snaps.

This beautiful dress is wearable with care. Fabric feels dry. There are numerous small pin holes, tiny runs and faint discoloration throughout. There also are a few weak seams and part of the rolled hem is missing. The underarms are in tack but slightly discolored. The metal side snaps originally went all the way up to the underarm, but have been stitched up. Snaps are still there and could be untacked to use as intended. None of these flaws are overly noticeable. Priced accordingly. 

You'll feel like you just stepped out of a film noir in this delightfully dangerous dress. 

Fashioned in luxuriously soft inky black velvet, this gorgeous frock features a square neckline and short, slashed leg-o-mutton sleeves lined in exquisite gold silk, which exposes the wearer's shoulders. It is fitted through the waist and hips. 

Dress is unlined and fastens up the front with a full-length metal zipper.

Dress is in sturdy, wearable condition, but does have a few flaws. It has a few small holes on the front close to the zipper (See photos) and a number of small weak spots throughout the fabric. There are a couple of small stains on the front near the hem. There also is wear around the neckline and on the hem under the zipper. Still a great dress with lots of life left! Priced accordingly.  

Velvet is so versatile! It can be dressed up or down and it can effortlessly transition from day to night. This striking autumnal blazer is the perfect transitional piece for any Fall wardrobe!

No major flaws to note. It does have a few small crushed velvet spots scattered throughout - mostly on the shoulder areas where it has been hanging for years. Does not detract. Priced accordingly.

Fashioned in a blush-almost-bubblegum pink silk crepe, this beautiful evening gown features a ruffled boatneck accented with black velvet bows, ruffled waistline also accented with velvet bows and a ruffled skirt hem.

The rolled hem at the bottom of the skirt and on the shoulder ruffle has been carefully and evenly hand tacked giving the edge a scalloped appearance.

Overall the dress is in wonderful, sturdy, wearable shape. It does have a few cosmetic flaws including a small 1/2 inch stain near the waist on the front and 3 pinpoint black stains near the bottom back of the skirt (See last photo). The skirt ruffle in the front looks like it may have been splashed by a puddle. It has faint dark watermarks around the bottom. All of these flaws would require close-up inspection to be noticed. None of these flaws detract. Priced accordingly.
