[ORDER ITEM #5826]
Click on image for additional photos!#5826 - c. 1940's BRILLIANT FASHIONS Black Satin Glamour Skirted Bathing Suit! OK, I have to do this for the Googlers...."1940's bathing suit", "1940's swimsuit". Sorry, what a pain I'm turning out to be, eh? Anyway, how about this? Slightly different from what you might wear today on the beach. :) Hard to see, but there is a cute little tie bow at the front bustline, and interesting inverted "v" seaming at the bust to waistline. Under the skirt, you will find the bloomers. Heavy metal zipper at the back. Great attached tie around the waist will flatter your figure as you need. Excellent condition.... but the elastic in the inner waist needs re-doing (old elastic pretty much always stretches out) and the bloomers might be better with a bit more elastic at the leg, but that's up to you. Measures: 40" bust, up to 33" waist, up to 43" hips, Under $150 so final sale. $ 125.

Drawstring waist (great as it can be tied to fit just about anyone Small to Medium.

Click on image for additional photos!#7417 - c. 2000's LAUNDRY by Shelli Segal Black Jersey "Marilyn Monroe" Halter Dress! OK... so you didn't want to spend $5.4 million for the actual white halter dress that Marilyn Monroe wore in "The Seven Year Itch".... aka "The subway dress"? Well... would you like a black version for a heck of a lot less?? This one is a nice weight black jersey and looks smashing on! Hope you can see the detail of the large diamond shape at middle with all the gathering for a sexy shape. LOW "v" neckline, halter back. Hidden side zipper. Excellent condition. Stretches so it's hard to measure, but it's labeled a size 2 which is about correct with today's sizing. I measure as: up to 34" bust, up to 27" waist, up to 36" hips, 42" long from shoulder to hem.

Click on image for additional photos!#5359 - c. 1970's CACHAREL, Made in France Floral Print Viscose Dress! This dress is marked 100% viscose... which moves like a silk just so you know. LOVE the "trumpet" end tot the short sleeves... though hard to see the details in the print.... there is a matching attached tie belt which you can bow in front or back. And unique detailing... there is a zipper on BOTH sides of the dress! Ah, those wacky French designers!! :) Measures: 33/34" bust (even though it can go up to 35" bust on this mannequin, it's awfully low necked at that bust!), up to 28" waist (slightly high or short-waisted), 51" long from shoulder to hem.

[ORDER ITEM - #5370]
Click on image for additional photos!#5370 - c. 1970's Made in Mexico White Cotton Gown with Pastel Embroidered Floal Design! In the 1970s, Edwardian white lawn dresses came back into vogue, and so did Mexican cotton gowns... many called Mexican wedding gowns. Here's one that is slightly different from the norm, but also from Mexico, 100% cotton gown.. this one with light pink and light aqua blue embroidered flowers at the front bodice and along the tabbed hemline and upper back! The lace edged straps on this gown are VERY long though I'm not sure why... so I show the dress worn as a halter, but certainly it would just just as easy to shorten the straps to wear straight over the shoulders. The upper back of this gown have four long embroidered ""scarves". If you don't like them, the dress is plain under and you can just remove them. I show them just hidden under in one of the photos, OR use the material to increase the size of this gown!! Back zipper. Excellent condition. Measures: 35" bust, up to 25" waist, 17" from shoulder to waist (or shorten straps), 60" long from shoulder to hem. NEW LISTING! Under $150, so final sale. $ 145.

[ORDER ITEM - #5471]
Click on image for additional photos!#5471 - c. 1970s KROSHETTA by PAPILLON Rayon Crocheted Bolero with Ties! These three crochet pieces came to me from the same elderly woman who had other 1970s pieces, so... I have to assume these are original to that time, even though this label still exists. Certainly they have that 1970s design which means they are right back in style. Black rayon crochet with tie fronts. Excellent condition. All you'll need to do is remove the label at back so it doesn't show through. Labeled size Medium, but you can see how it looks on the size 6 mannequin with 35" bust. So it's more like a Small/Medium size in today's sizing. NEW LISTING! Under $150 so Final Sale Item. $ 75.

[ORDER ITEM #5554]
Click on image for additional photos!#5554 - c. 1970's CREATION LERON Floral Chiffon Gown with Matching Overblouse! Are you an "Autumn"? I'm a "Winter". Or so they tell me. But there must be something to this, since I would look horrible in these colors, and yet my fair-skinned Mother always gravitates to this palette. I remember my ritzy sister brought back a similar floral chiffon outfit from Paris in the 1970's. I was so jealous. I coveted that outfit. But she nearly wore it out she wore it so much. Years later I got the matching blouse from her "hand-me-downs" which I've kept to this day. I never wore it, since it looked great on her (blonde, blue eyed, fair skinned) and as I've said, lousy on me, but I loved to look at it!! So you know I love this gown... and it also comes with the sheer chiffon matching overblouse with attached sash bow at collar and gathered sleeve (which may be overkill worn together - but would be great to wear with other solid color item!) Measures: 34" bust, 27/28" waist, 38" long skirt from waist to hem. Back metal zipper, Sheer lined bodice. Black taffeta skirt under chiffon skirt. Best on 5'2" woman or shorter to be floor length. Excellent condition except for the heel tear in the skirt 2.5" up from the hem. I'd live with it, since you would have likely done the same thing.. and it keeps the price affordable! Under $150, so final sale. $ 125.

Click on image for additional photos!#6726 - c. 2000's ALBERTO MAKALI, New York, Paris, Milano Black Draped Bustier with Beading! Yeah, I know... I'm supposed to be selling antique and vintage items... but every once in a while, I get carried away with some really great new piece. I envision all sorts of things you can do with this! A strapless bustier, wrapped at the front with a long drape with a "spray" of small black beads. That's it! So, I'm thinking you can wear as is, or you can turn it into a halter top with matching or other color scarf or ribbon. Or you can make straps with ribbons, or you can wear with ultra short bolero, or you can.... loads of things!! Dress up, dress down. Whatever you want. A bit too small for this mannequin, so the side zipper will zip up all the way on you (not her - she needs to go on a diet). Measures: 33/34" bust, 28" waist. Mint condition. Marked size 4. NEW LISTING! Under $150 so final sale.

Click on image for additional photos!#7311 - c. 1991 THE JUDDS Farewell Tour: Love Can Build A Bridge Black Satin Windbreaker "Baseball" Nylon Tour Jacket! Made by Dunbrooke in size XL. Made in the USA (back when items like this wear made in the USA!). Nylon satin exterior, cotton interior. Nice pink and light blue embroidery at back in great logo. Excellent condition. Has the original tag from StarWares on Main, Santa Monica, CA (near LA - a Celebrity Clothing and Collectibles shop) with their price tag of $100. The shop no longer exists... though they have a tiny website. As someone wrote: "Once upon a time (in the 1990's) this was a favorite Santa Monica store, but now it is only an internet store." Zips up the front, ribbed knit neckline, cuffs and bottom.Two side slit pockets on the front. Great piece for The Judds fan! Here's the history on the tour: "The Judds Farewell Tour began February of 1991 and stopped in 116 cities across North America. The tour grossed over $21,000,000 and The Judds were named the top grossing concert act of 1991. The tour broke records but it broke hearts too, as the girls said a tearful goodbye to the loyal fans who had loved and supported them for nearly a decade. On December 4, 1991, The Judds performed their final concert. The sell-out crowd and over six million pay-per-view fans watched as Wynonna and Naomi took their final bows. It was the end of an era."

[ORDER ITEM - #5361]
Click on image for additional photos!#5361 - c. 1980's FERRAGAMO Red Suede Wedge Shoes with Gold Ornaments! So these shoes still have the original price tag inside one of the shoes. Original price of $245, reduced to $171.97, then to $146.97, and finally to $122.50 when they were purchased... but as you can see, this label is hardly touched, so even though there is a bit of wear to the sole, and one dirt mark on one side of the toe, they were likely not worn more than once or twice. So, I'm looking for Cinderella with a size 6.5A foot. WHY?? As they are marked size 8AAAA?? Well, I have NO idea... all I can tell you is that I wear 6.5 M (with a slightly ever so wider than medium foot), and I can wear these (!) though they are just a slightly bit thin, but still not bad. Perhaps a size 6A as well, as I guess they are perhaps a bit small as well, but it's hard to tell as my wider foot might be using up a bit of length. Perhaps this is why they didn't sell at the higher price! Mystery solved! Even at this, the shoes are marked 8AA inside, but someone wrote 8 4A on the tag, and then continued to penmark in the additional two A's inside the shoes!!! WHATEVER! NEW LISTING! Under $150, so Final Sale. $ 45.

Can't you just hear the buzz of those bees, or smell the honey? Hat of old ivory felt trimmed beehive shaped hat with matching felt flowers and black veiling which evokes the veil of a beekeepers hat.

[ORDER ITEM - #5650]
Click on image for additional photos!#5650 - c. 1960's PACELLE, Saks Fifth Avenue Brown Suede Heels with Brown Satin Bows! Pacelle was a brand made in Italy for Saks during the 1950's and 60's. Obviously they were highly coveted, as in my quick research, I found a Marilyn Monroe costume where she wore Pacelle shoes with it... and below is a photo of a pair of Pacelle shoes donated to the Metropolitan Museum of New York for their Costume Institute! Pacelle shoes sold for similar prices to the famous Roger Vivier at approximately $25-$40 in the 1960s. These brown suede shoes have been worn, but have plenty of life left in them. They are marked size 6.5A (or is that AA?), but my wide foot will fit into them, so they can't be too thin. However, you will still want a thinner foot than mine to be comfy. "Excellent" condition with the moderate wear to the sole as you see in the photos. NEW LISTING! Under $150, so Final Sale. $ 45.
Approx. - SIZE 6.5 A
[ORDER ITEM - #5655]
Click on image for additional photos!#5655 - c. 1950's SALLY VICTOR Straw Hat with Floppy Silk Flowers and Large Wooden Fruit! OK, look at the photos first so you can see the small break in the straw on the crown. See it? OK, so now you know why this hat is less than you'd think. The "pretty factor" makes up for the problem, and I figure anyone else would have re-designed the hat to cover the hole with some additional flowers. Too bad I'm so honest. But certainly that's what I would do. Remember, re-trimming hats was what was done through history. Go watch some old Jane Austen movies and you will see usually see scenes of women "working" on their hats and bonnets. Sally Victor was a highly desired label in the 50s. That hat is a stiff, fairly heavy straw, with the lightness of the floppy silk flowers (that could be fluffed up a bit and starched. LOVE that red wooden "fruit" at front with the one white flower! Sweet! Measures: 16" x 16" x 4" tall. Fits a normal size 22 head. NEW LISTING! Also listed in the Hats Category. Also Under $150 so final sale.

Pink ribbon waistband. Measures: 33/34" bust, 26" waist, 22" long from waist to hem. You'll want to be slender for this dress to look best as it's best for smallish boned gal. Labeled size 2.

So for all you gals looking for that perfect WWII look shoe to match with your 1940s dress or suit.... ta-da! Soft black suede with the cut out for the peep toe at front and sling at back. The toe area has the great stiff 3-Dimensional "swish" edged in white stitching for a bit of "pop". From Brown's Booterie. Very good condition... just needs a bit of glue to glue down the leather lining, and just a bit of lining wear under the toe at the peep. Otherwise, quite good and ready to wear! :) Labeled size 8, but I'm told they fit more like a 7.5. Heels measure 4" at back, or if you prefer the height from the inside, it's 2.5". Look great on ... and are actually quite comfy to wear (and I usually have trouble with many shoes)! NEW LISTING! $ 145.

So many different names for these great jaunty hats so popular in the 1940's. Worn down over one eye, this one has the look you'd expect to see in a 40's movie! Held on with back strap. This one is a teal blue/green and is pointed shaped "floppy" hat with a "bowl" at the top (please don't put your cereal and milk in it! :) Has a terrific large iridescent black feather at back!

It looks lovely as you can see from afar... but as you zoom in on the design it starts to look like the designer was high on drugs when he/she created this! :) There are oak leaves and acorns in the center and then the list of animals include: cat, owl, rabbit, eagle, chicken, dog, lobster, rat, turtle, lion, squirrel, porcupine, cricket, birds, turkey, ox... and more!

Click on image for additional photos!#9274 - c. 1960's ROGER VIVIER, Paris Gold Lame Pumps with Rhinestone Buckles! Gotta tell you upfront that these aren't perfect.... sadly. But certainly wearable for your 60's party or Roger Vivier collection (yup, there are those out there who just collect Vivier!). Mr Vivier designed shoes for Christian Dior for most of the 1950's and early 60's. But perhaps his most iconic design was the "Pilgrim Pump" (from what I read they were made popular from Catherine Deneuve in the film Belle de Jour). So these are what you want in Vivier! Gold lame with tiny rhinestone buckles. Sold at Saks Fifth Avenue. Where the shoes have rubbed together, there is cracked gold, and one small section of gold lost there on one shoe. Extremely light reddish spot on on buckle end. A couple tiny rhinestones missing. Just not mint condition... still very shiny and pretty!! And in a very wearable size! Labeled 9A. Under $150 so final sale.
$ 95.

YEAH! Actually although I date it to 2000's, I have no idea of the date of this dress. All Lilly Pulitzers look alike to me! All pink and green and classic styling. This one is especially pretty with small cutout butterflies in various directions floating on this empire waisted dress. Finished with pink satin ribbon. High neckline with straps. Back zipper. Lined in white cotton. Mint condition. Measures: 34" bust, up to 38" hips, 36" long from shoulder to hem. Best for girls with high cute breasts (at least that's my take on it!).

Click on image for additional photos!#6373 - c. 1920's Wonderful Silk Lavender and Pink Fancy Garters with Ribbon Roses! OK, you can buy your friend one crappy new wedding garter for $20 for the bridal shower, or you can give her "something old" with an original set of fancy garters from the 1910-1920s! These are especially fabulous with two-tone silk coloring... lavender on the outside and pink on the inside. Finished off with 10 graduated colored ribbon roses. I've seen other 1920's garters priced over $400, and, in my humble opinion, these are nicer! As with all the antique garters, the elastic is stretched out, so if you want to wear these, you will just need to tack in some new elastic. Or better yet, use these to create a framed wedding gift! Excellent condition otherwise! Under $150 category, so final sale. Also listed in the Lingerie Category. $ 145.

I'm showing it on the size 2 mannequin and you can see that the back is FAR from closing! Measures: 29/30" bust, 22" waist, 29" long from waist to hem. Rappi was a fairly good label, this dress has a cotton crinoline under. Excellent condition. Lovely tie front. Comes with the original thin belt. So break out the tape measure to see if this will fit... if so, you get a steal at this price. Under $150, so final sale. $ 95.

Meanwhile.. the exterior of the hat is fabulous. Stiff medium gray color felt with wide black grosgrain band with large bow at side... even has the original thin elastic band with the "Knox" button.

Click on image for additional photos!#6369 - c. 1947 FREDERICK & NELSON, Seattle Red Felt Tilt-Top Hat! Ok... I'm gonna say it right here and now... this hat is "totally unique"! So, now that I've said that... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop using those two words together! I know it's become a huge part of modern American language, but it doesn't MEAN anything! The definition of "unique" is "unique"... "one of a kind"... so to say "totally unique" is an "oxymoron" (a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction). GOT IT??????? :) Oh, and by the way, it's "SEQUINS", not "sequince" or my favorite, "seaquince" Ahhhh.... OK... it's out of my system. I'm better now. SO... the hat you ask? Red felt molded into a great shape, highlighted by two grosgrain ribbons at front. Meant to be worn as you see with a tilt. Excellent condition. Can be worn on a slightly larger than normal 22" head (this is the mannequin with a swelled head). For all you RED HAT SOCIETY members! Under $150, so final sale. $ 145.

Perfect black knit large sequin sleeveless mock turtleneck shell. Marked "36" and "38", but I think the 38 is correct, and the other was sewn on by someone incorrectly. Anyway... it is a knit under the sequins so it stretches nicely! Measures: up to 38" bust, 20" long from shoulder to hem. Back metal zipper. There is a bit of white deodorant residue under the arms on the sequins, but it scrapes right off.... I just need to spend the time, or for this price, I'll let you do it! Made in British Hong Kong.

Some are detachable, some are fully attached, as is this.. And you may also know that BROWN is being shown all over the magazines for this fall! So.... it kills me to put this dress in the Under $150 category. However, when an item has some flaws, you win!!! So.. pay attention and move fast! Gorgeous color. The dress has no labels, but obviously well-made and expensive fabric. The flaws are shown in the close-up photos. There are some light marks near the hem of the dress in front, and some watermark spots on the dress in the front bodice.

And the dress is small - too small for my mannequin so the back is open, but Measures: 32" perhaps 33" bust, 24" at natural waist, up to 34" hips.

Click on image for additional photos!#3894 - c. 1930's BILLY LEWIS Conical Straw Hat with Brown Grosgrain Ribbon Trim! As you probably already know, I love hats that have shape and style. Hats started the decade as floppy brimmed cloches, became skull caps, and then in 1934, Elsa Schiaparelli created a sensation with a peaked hat. It "took", and tall hats became the tailored look of the era from the mid to late 1930's. Here's a great example with fun conical shape and trimmed with brown grosgrain ribbon on top and underneath brim! So it will look great to all those people shorter than you as well! :) Excellent condition. Has the elastic to place under your hair to hold hat on head. Under $150, so final sale. $ 145.

SOLD#5716 - c. 1970's Brown Faux Fur Vest! REVERSIBLE!!! You've decided you want a faux fur vest to be "in Vogue" this year, but you just don't want to be overwhelmed as you are a petite gal. I understand... I'm 5'2" and I can look like I'm wearing a bear in some furs. This is perfect for "us". I measured it, but the measurements don't mean anything, so don't ask me.... they will just confuse you. Just go by what I tell you... this will be best on a girl who is petite (under 5'4") and I'm 33 (c/d) bust, 26/27" waist, and 37" hips... and it's JUST a bit snug on me. So all depends how tight you want to wear it. And certainly you can wear it open! It closes with hidden hooks/eyes and as you can see, it's REVERSIBLE! One side is all faux fur... the other side looks like a shearling with a faux suede. I love the mini peplum! And certainly you don't have to wear it closed all the way to the neckline, but wear more open. Whatever. Under $150 so final sale. $ 145. SOLD

Here's someone's review of the NYC shop: "Morgane Le Fay sells rather romantic looking women's clothing, particularly long swoopy dresses. The sort of thing one would wear while wandering the parapets of the old castle overlooking the firth. As befits such merchandise, the store itself is sort of a refuge from today, and a visit can be most calming. The dresses expensive, but not insanely priced, and the atmosphere relaxing." Oh, and for the best advertising for MLF dresses.... Under $150, so final sale. $ 145. SOLD

SOLD#5827 - c. late 1940's, early 1950's SEA NYMPH, SwimSuit by Jordan Satin Striped Bathing Suit! Remember when glamour was everywhere? Including underwater?? Think Esther Williams. This color is fantastic... somewhere between an aquamarine and a seafoam. The one shoulder detail certainly makes it fashionable enough to wear with a skirt. Metal zipper at the back. Lined bra cups. Excellent condition. The only thing to mention is that it is for a petite (short) woman as the shoulder strap wasn't long enough to button on the mannequin so I had to use an "extension" of a safety pin. You won't need that if you are short enough, or short-waisted enough. Under $150, so final sale. $ 145. SOLD

SOLD#5499 - c. 1940's/1950's Bonwit Teller Small Mink Fur Hat with Veil! This small real mink fur hat came from the same previous owner as the Bes-Ben hats , so you know she had great, fun taste! :) This hat can be worn higher on the head or low on the forehead as you see... with the veil in front (or can be worn over the hat to the back). It's a patty shape... like a hamburger patty !) Probably mink tails. Had a bit of a reddish hue in bright lights and some of the photos are lightened to see detail, otherwise it just looks like Mahogany mink color under normal like. Excellent condition. There are two combs inside on either side to hold on the head. This is a stiff veil that will need steaming to sit correctly. Under $150 so final sale. $ 85. SOLD
SOLD#5140 - c. 1980s/90s VICTOR COSTA "Pucciesque" Purse with Gold Shoulder Chain! Love that Pucci look but you don't feel comfortable going "all the way" with all that print? Start small!!! Victor Costa knows you better than you know yourself, and figured you might want this shoulderbag or clutch purse (wear as you want). It's one of those bags that we used to use before we all fell in love with using SUITCASES as purses! Remember when we weren't carrying half of what we own every day??? Ah, the good ole' days. Now you can use this as an evening purse and tuck it in your gigantic bag during the day. It's lovely, but there are a few extremely minor spots you will see on close inspection (see photos). Otherwise, lovely. Under $150 so Final Sale Item. $ 45. SOLD
SOLD#4666 - c. 1930 White Ruffled Dress! Wanna get a great dress at a great price? A sheer rayon organdy with the attached capelet and 5 rows of ruffles starting from just below the butt. All this over an attached matching off-white rayon slip. Measures: up to 31" bust, up to 28" waist, up to 35" hips, 53" long from shoulder to hem. Snaps on the side. Condition of the exterior is great though she wore a pin at the lower hip side just over the ruffle so there is one pinhole there. I found one additional small hole under one ruffle and one tiny hole at the bottom of one ruffle (seen on inspection). Additionally, there is a large water spot on the front low panel that just looks like a shadow, but again when inspecting, you will see it. The only real issue is the underslip ONLY that is quite torn under the arms. Because this is a rayon, it tends to wrinkle and the edging of the capelet will need the occasional trimming. But it you are a tiny size, and love the look.. the price is... well... I'm sure you know! :) Under $150 so final sale. $ 145. SOLD

This is FLAT as a pancake so it won't hold much more than your tissues, papers, lipstick, pen, credit cards, mirror. But what else do you need? OK throw in a key and a cell phone. Comes off a bit dingy in the photos, but it's brighter in person...however it's ecru silk crepe with blush pink and light blue embroidery. Very subtle. Edged in thin ecru and brown cording. It's in great shape, but has light staining throughout. Lined in ecru china silk. Flexible flat metal piece imbedded at bottom and top to give it a bit of structure, otherwise totally floppy.

I'd love to try these on for you to check it out, but alas, they are AA wide, and I am absolutely not, so my fat little piggies don't fit in these at all. :( Hopefully you have the perfect foot size for a great pair of never used shoes in the classy 2-tone black/tan combo.

You could dab with glue and it will disappear, but I prefer to leave a is, as it's hardly noticeable unless you pull at it. Labeled 6 3/8 size, so it's small... I'd say 21" head best.

SOLD#5410A - c. late 1940's/early 1950's Ivory Ballgown with Rhinestone Bodice! So... for all you gals who want a great vintage gown (perhaps for the prom?) and don't want to spend a lot, well.... The only reason this gown is in the Under $150 category is that it's not the same high quality as I normally like to sell. You can see from the interior, and the fact that it's nylon chiffon rather than silk. So... you benefit from my snobbery! :) The beauty of this gown is in the ruched bodice covered with tiny rhinestones (see the close-up photos). Flattering low waistline with "nip" you where you want. 3-layers of skirt (2 nylon, one rayon slip). Side metal zipper dates this to 1940's to early 1950's. Now, as for that "scarf" draped, it comes with the dress (and there are snaps under the bust for it to attach to the one side, but the scarf is slightly whiter than the gown (which I would call a light ivory), so just need you to know that. Excellent condition other than the one small spot on the lining at upper back (which shows through the nylon chiffon - see photo).

I want you to look at the dress alone while I wait for you (just click on the photo to get to the additional photos)... and you will see that great low square neckline at back (love that!). The jacket has no closures, just meant to be worn open as you see. The trim is meant to evoke mink, but it's a dark brown rabbit fur (still in good condition). This was not a high-end outfit, but even the lower end clothing from the past was so much better than the crap that you buy today! So the price reflects the original quality, not any condition issues. Measures: 34" bust, 25" waist, up to 36" hips, 36" long dress from shoulder to hem. Side metal zipper on dress.

You can dress up or down. This one is the classic and easy to wear B&W combo... black wool embroidered on front, side and back with white beads in floral design as well as trimming all around!
