Click on image for additional photos!		 #6591 - c. 1980's JULIA Silver with Gold Metallic Brocade Strapless Gown with Rhinestones and Matching Shrug from the Estate of Hotelier LEONA HELMSLEY!! One of my last Leona Helmsley gowns :(  This one must have been worn when she had just finished dieting for something as it's smaller than the rest of her gowns.  Doesn't quite fit on my mannequin (which is why the zipper isn't closed at back).  SO, if you go research Leona Helmsly, I'm sure you can figure out exactly when she wore this.  I'm sure old "Town & Country" magazines might had photos of her in every one of my gowns, but I don't have the time to research, so I leave it to you ... imagine the fun of finding that photo!  Excellent condition gown with that sweet matching shrug.  Made by her in-house dressmaker "Julia".   Measurements coming....NEW LISTING!   Also Listed in the 1930-Today and Wedding Categories.

AUTHENTIC - CLARK GABLE
Screen Worn Vest with Tags !

[ORDER ITEM - #3709]
Click on image for additional photos!
 		#3709 - Dated June 26, 1941 ORIGINAL CLARK GABLE Screen Worn Vest - Dated and Labeled!! I wish I could tell you exactly which movie this is from, but I don't have access to the MGM production numbering system.  I'm sure if you looked up #5808, that would identify the movie for sure.  Could be "Honky Tonk", which would be the correct timing, but can't confirm that.  It's definitely from some movie.  Eddie Schmidt costume label was often found in Clark Gable wardrobe pieces.  And additionally, this vest has the MGM stamp inside.. along with "42" (size I assume), and "Change #3".  A wonderful piece of Hollywood history for your collection!!   The vest is a soft gray with black trim at the cutouts.  Back is silk.  There is damage to the upper back silk (see photos) and one small sewed mothhole (see photos).  Otherwise just the usual wear from age and use. FYI,  the Clark Gable vest from "The Misfits" sold at auction for $3,600, but that vest had NO studio or costume tags or Gable name inside... just the COA from his assistant and the match with the screen worn movie vest.  For those of you who want rare CLARK GABLE Memorabilia....  NEW LISTING!

 		#6653 - c. 2000's BETSEY JOHSON Dress of Peachy-Pink Satin and White Lace with Lace up Corset Back!  From NBC's "PASSIONS" Soap Opera Worn by Melissa Fahn as the Young Esmerelda (aka Glinda)!  From the wardrobe department of the now cancelled soap opera "Passions".  Every year or so “Passions” did a spoof on a musical, complete with a song-and-dance number.  In spoofing Wicked, costume designer Diana Eden is quoted as saying, "We had something like 45 costumes made from scratch.  It was crazy here for two-and-a-half weeks, but we made it. When we first meet Young Esmerelda, she's in her little beige suit with pink piping and pink ruffles, then she changes into another dress, which is the only dress I didn't design. It's a Betsey Johnson dress and it's peach laced ruffled. All I did was add a little ruffled sleeve." Melissa Fahn was an original Broadway understudy for Wicked’s Glinda and featured in the Los Angeles cast of Wicked.   Measures: 32/33" bust, 26/27" waist, 24" long from waist to hem.  Short waisted a bit, so you will want to be short, or at least realize that the waist measurement will be slightly higher than your normal waist. Near Mint condition.  Comes with a COA from Premier Props. Great prom dress as you tell everyone about the history!!  Won't they be jealous! :) NEW LISTING!    Also Listed in the 1930-Today Section.

I frankly can't tell you if it's "the" dress.  But since it was a RTW dress of the 1950's, there was more than one produced.  Though this is the only one I've seen.  But as you know... only the most fashionable dresses were selected to be worn on this show (as - come on - you know much of the show's appeal was about the fashions)!  Excellent condition.  Rappi label sundress in a light blue (slightly aqua), white and black "splotchy - Jackson Pollackish" cotton fabric trimmed in a black velvet ribbon. Back metal zipper.  Impress your friends!  As you see even on Sarah, the hemline is not exactly the same length around (this is only mentioned for those of you who have OCD! :)  Measures:  34/35" bust, 25" waist, 27" long from waistline to hem.  NEW LISTING!   Also Listed in the 1930-Today Section.

Thanks to Jace, who seems to be a walking encyclopedia of Whitney's wardrobe, I have a photo of Whitney wearing this gown on the cover of Jet magazine, and more information than I thought possible!  Jace says that the gown was worn once during Whitney's "The Bodyguard" World Tour (June 1993 - October 1994).  The gown was worn during the second part of the USA leg, sometime during that summer of 1994.  There are only two known photos of Whitney in this gown... I'm showing the best - the other is B&W)!  As stretchy as you can get in a gown (so this will look a lot better with actual legs!) so it will hug your body to show off all your curves (attention Beyonce!).  Killer look!!  Please look at the close up photos so you can see what this dress is made of... millions (OK, perhaps a few less) of electric blue and auroaborealis (so they have a purple hue as well) tightly woven into the stretch black netting.  Fabulous details!!!  Fishtail train!  Sleeves that look like gloves! Strapless look with matching choker turtleneck! Just awesome. Excellent condition.   NEW LISTING!   Also Listed in the 1930-Today and Whitney Houston  Categories.

The heels are 3" high. Quite high...hits mid knee. The tongue is slightly higher than the top of the boots. Excellent condition just slight scuffing at toes. Looks like these might have been used by one of the main characters in the scene... "Pop" - the woman with the first "story about "Bernie" as she is wearing the same boots... though could have been worn by a backup dancer with the same outfit. Watch the scene on youtube... just click on the link below.  Great gift for anyone who loves the movie!  NEW LISTING!

I'm not sure exactly where she wore it, but it's certainly something with enough research you will likely find out for yourself.   So rare to find any Streisand pieces available.  Even more rare to find one SO identifiable as "Barbra Streisand".  Cream silk satin long skirt with sexy 22" side slit and rear zipper.  Meant to be hidden grosgrain waistband is slightly boned. Matching cream silk sailor style "v" neck top heavily embellished with cream and black sequins featuring an affixed decorative sequined tie and upper front snap closure and side zipper.  Both pieces weighted at bottom hems, so perhaps wore for outdoor concert???  White lining.  There is sequin losses (auction called it minor sequin lose, but it's most than I'd like. Also the sequins on one sleeve are slightly warped, or melted like Barbra got too close to a hot stage light!). Still in Excellent condition for a rare museum piece.  Wearable if you must. Please be careful, and treat with museum respect.  But heck,  if you are hosting a Streisand event, it's a must! Measures:  Skirt: 26" waist, up to 38" hips, 42" long.  Top:  up to 36/37" bust.  Note:  it's creamier than shown in photos.  More photos soon!  NOTE: Barbra Streisand's Superman T-shirt (yes folks... a T-shirt!) sold for $6,000 and the signature sailor top (just the top) at left sold for $28,800!!  At another auction at Christie's in May 2007, a two-piece orange gown from "Funny Girl" sold for $33,600!

"Gok's Fashion Fix"
 http://www.channel4.com/video/goks-fashion-fix/
series-1/episode-2/fashion-dynasty_p_1.html

 #9929 - c. 1984 NOLAN MILLER COUTURE Gown -  JOAN COLLINS' Wedding Gown and Hat TV Worn on the Show Phenomenon "DYNASTY" For her Wedding to Dex Dexter!  Yes, this is THE Joan Collins' wedding gown along with the matching lily-of-the-valley covered hat and original wide stiff belt worn on Dynasty for the wedding of Alexis Carrington (Joan Collins) to Dex Dexter (Michael Nadar).  I believe this is a "one-of-a-kind", no others created.  You know sometimes there are multiples of costumes for movies, but rarely for TV shows. This comes with COA from the Nolan Miller Auction of a few years ago. There is also an original clipping from "Star" Magazine dated Nov. 6, 1984 which reads:  "Insiders say Joan Collins has never looked more radiant than in this oyster-colored satin wedding gown designed just for her...".   So imagine what your friends will say about you! :)  OR certainly this is a great collectors piece or museum gown for any TV show memorabilia display.  The gown is a silk satin in glorious ice shade (not blue, more oyster) with slightly puffed shoulders, long sleeves, zip back and wide "v" stiffened belt to accentuate the waist.  Doesn't include the diamond clips - sorry! :)  The condition of all the pieces is Quite Good, not perfect.  The veil surrounding the hat is torn up, so would need to be replaced or removed or just tied up.  There are spots at the hemline of the gown (see photo) and one teeny-tiny spot at front under belt which is really a pinhole which is likely where Joan pinpricked the gown with the bouquet (see photo). I keep questioning whether there is some dustiness on shoulders from storage.  Hardly worth a mention. Measures: 36" bust, 27" waist, 56" long from shoulder to hem in front, 60" long in back. I read that Joan Collins is 5'6", so perhaps that will help.  So if you've always wanted to get married in your classic 1980's wedding......  or TV themed wedding.... well you just can NOT get anymore classic than this!!   NEW LISTING!

Andrea Evans has been around forever on loads of different shows, so I'm sure you'll recognize her name!   For the rest of you... all you need to recognize is the name "HALSTON"!  So sexy, low neckline to show off your cleavage.  Seamed to follow every curve (see the lightened photos to see the seaming!), and those fabulous double "slashed" shoulders straps... ooh baby.  Mermaid shape with the material flaring and draping from the lower thighs to hem.  Lined in satin so feels great on! Heavy duty breast cups inside so no bra necessary! Excellent condition.  Has the paper Passions sticker inside the dress.  Back zipper. Labeled size 6. Fits the mannequin perfectly at 35" bust, 25" waist, 36" hips, but will stretch to fit anyone at size 6ish. 50" long from shoulder to hem, so it's meant to be low ankle length  (on me at 5'2") or can be full length if you are 5" tall........or if you are taller, this would look great at higher ankle or slightly above length (depending on your height) with strappy sandals.... oooh ... perhaps with ankle straps? Comes with a COA from Premier Props.  Also Listed in 1930-Today Category.

Click on image for additional photos!		 #1611 - c. 1889 DATED Mens Embroidered Wedding Suspenders or Braces - REFURBISHED by Cheri Productions for the Upcoming Film " CHERI" starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Rupert Friend (boyfriend of Keira Knightly)!  The good news is that these men's black satin embroidered wedding suspenders were recently worn by Rupert Friend in the production of the upcoming movie currently entitled "Cheri". Here's the link to the movie info: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1179258/  The bad news is that I can't guarantee that they won't end up on the cutting room floor.  But the movie company certainly worked hard enough to find these, rent them from me, refurbish them, and return them.  So... seems like a lot of work for nothing if they aren't in the flick! :)  Refurbish means that they took a new pair of mens braces (or suspenders) and replaced the elastic at back, and fully lined the braces in white fabric.  They did a remarkably wonderful job!  You will get the original leather pieces that were replaced.  What they DID keep is, of course, the exquisite floral embroidery on black satin, and best of all, the embossed goldtone clips at front with original patent date of 1889. Excellent condition with just a hint of wear on one spot on the embroidery (from the movie wear).  The perfect wedding gift to lend your man!  Something old, something new, something borrowed AND something blue... for him! :) Measures: 1.75" wide x 36" long from button to button.  Likely meant to be worn for high-waisted pants.   Also Listed in the Wedding Category.

Obviously screenworn (as you can see in the photos). Comes with the original costume department wardrobe tag.  Comes with COA from the Production company.  Eddie Murphy is one tiny guy!  Measures:  31" waist!  How long's it been since YOUR guy had a 31" waist?? :) OK... I just measured the waist again, and perhaps it's more like a 32"... but still!!!  I can't tell you if the jacket is a 36 or 38 or what.   I have no man that size to try it on for you (which is really the only way to be sure!), but here are all the measurements.  First the pants... the inseam is 31.5" long (there is an extra 1.5" in the hem of the pants to make longer if necessary).  The jacket sleeve measures 36" long from middle of back of neck across the shoulder to the end of the sleeve on the outside, and  measures 18.5" from underarm to end of sleeve.  Across the shoulders from seam to seam is 18".  It's 17.25" across the back between the shoulder blades (remember, this era was MEANT to be worn TIGHT, so it won't be roomy on purpose!!).  28.5" long from neck to bottom at back. And if you lay the jacket out flat, it measures 21" across the chest area. Enough? Excellent, near Mint condition.  Also Listed in the 1930-Today Category.

 #3293 - RARE!!!!!  c. 1975 Original CAROL CHANNING Worn Complete Costume with Headpiece from the 1975 Tony Awards Telecast!  Likely Early Bob Mackie Costume! Grace Costumes, NY Tag with Carol Channing's Hand-written Name!  Unbelievable complete costume worn by Carol Channing on the 1975 Tony Awards Show!  YES, the headpiece comes with it... I just didn't get to photograph it yet as I don't have the right mannequin head, but you can see it on Carol!  It's wild!!   Carol Channing was a presenter at the Tony awards that year which took place at the Winter Garden Theater in NYC...  and so to salute that historic theater, she took the opportunity to make fun of herself!  Carol wore an outfit that was an overblown version of the vampy costumes she wore for her only Broadway flop entitled "The Vamp".  Only running 60 performances from Nov. 10 through Dec. 31, 1955 at the Winter Garden Theater. Check out the funny YouTube clip of her speech while wearing this outfit complete with elaborate headpiece!!  I believe this was designed by Bob Mackie, but no way to confirm, however it DOES come with a COA (Certificate of Authenticity) from the Carol Channing auction... though you barely need it with the YouTube video as ironclad authenticity.  I mean... I can guarantee you that there aren't two of these costumes out there!!  :)  And Mr. Mackie had just worked with Ms. Channing on her Broadway play, "Lorelei" in 1974. Four piece set of fuchsia metallic chiffon lined in gold netting, edged with silver beads, rhinestones and gold bullion trim with huge faux pearls. Sleeveless dress with hoop skirt.  The sleeves (elastic top) and pantaloons (elastic waist with metal zip back) are both separate. Finally comes WITH the wild headpiece with six stiff "curls" and large ornament at front. Excellent condition, near MINT condition!!  Very well constructed!  Huge head size as is... headpiece closes with velcro at back!!  Ready to ... wear???? :)  Measures:  36" bust (includes easily removable old hardened cup padding) 26-30" waist (hidden elastic), 23" long sleeves, 44" long pantaloons (Carol is TALL!). You'll never see another... especially now that after Bjork's swan dress, no one is willing to actually have fun at the any of the awards shows! How boring we all are these days!!!!!  FYI, Bob Mackie's Whoopie Goldberg Academy Awards "Queen Elizabeth I" gown sold at auction for $22,800!!! And a Carol Burnett /Bob Mackie yellow slicker coat for over $5,000!   NOTE:  Likely quite expensive to ship overseas due to size and shape of box.

I haven't seen the movie, but I assume the Miss Folsom teacher role isn't all that large, but they certainly didn't scrimp on this!  It's a heavyweight pinstriped navy soft wool flannel gown with wonderful overlay of ecru Battenberg lace. Slight bell sleeves.  Tiny decorative buttons down bodice front.  Mock high lace collar.  Feels soft!  Hook and eyes at back to close.

 #3530 - worn by JENNIFER CONNELLY in her OSCAR WINNING PERFORMANCE as ALICIA NASH in "A Beautiful Mind"! Alicia's Screenworn Turtleneck top, Wrap Denim Skirt and Espadrilles!   I believe Alicia (Jennifer Connelly) wore this outfit in the rain scene when she is running from the apartment with her baby after her husband (Russell Crowe) accidentally almost drowns the baby in the tub. Easily worn if you wish, or displayed with the poster as movie memorabilia.  Excellent condition. The one thing to mention is that one shoe size reads 8 and the other reads 8 1/2!  So... I don't think it will make much difference as espadrilles tie on to stay in place, but hey... you have now learned something few people know about Jennifer Connelly! :)   Guaranteed Authentic as it comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from Universal Pictures and Premiere Props as well as an original Oscar Ad showing what I believe to be Jennifer Connelly wearing this outfit.  Impossible to measure, but Jennifer's other outfit I have is about a size 4/6.  Since this is a wrap skirt and stretch turtleneck, it will fit a few shapes/sizes. A great piece for an Oscar memorabilia collection! I've often thought it would be a great idea to have a collection of FOOTWEAR of the Oscar Winning Performances.. you know... "walking in their shoes".  If you decide you want to start that collection... these espadrilles would be a good start... and I have a pair of sandals worn by Oscar Award Winner, Halle Berry in "Monster's Ball" which will be up on the website soon to add to the collection!

Sold at Miss Selfridge, London!  Eavis & Brown of London (as they are now known) seemed an overnight sensation (to us in America) when they designed Heather Mills' wedding gown for her marriage to Paul McCartney.  Said to cost over $35,000, there was certainly a lot of hoopla surrounding it!  But this leather and suede appliqued dusty rose pig suede jumper proves it takes decades to become "an overnight sensation"!  Cornflower blue, fuschia and eggplant colored leathers appliqued with and pink, rose, tan and gray colored suede on a dusty rose suede base. Fully lined in acetate.  Excellent condition. This jumper comes with a signed COA from Zsa-Zsa's Closet, Glendale, CA that is was owned by the fabulous Natalie Wood! I have no absolute documentation, ie. no photos of Natalie in this, so it's not absolutely guaranteed, but it's a damn good bet!  Natalie's style, her size, the right era, and here's the best piece of trivia... Natalie's actress sister, Lana Wood, was cast in a minor role in "Diamonds are Forever" filming in London in 1971!  So... I'm assuming Natalie went to visit her sister there and did a little shopping!  :)  I'd be willing to stake my reputation that this is indeed a Natalie Wood owned piece. So it is a museum piece of London's fashion history as well as Hollywood memorabilia piece! Measures: open bust, 24" waist, 35/36" hips, 24-27" long from waist to hem. Natalie Wood items are scarce!

AUTHENTIC-Franco Nero (Lancelot)
Worn Cape on "Camelot"!

[ORDER ITEM - #3681]
Click on image for additional photos!		 #3681 - RARE, COLLECTABLE! From the Classic 1967 Movie, CAMELOT Starring Richard Harris, Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero comes the Original Cape Worn on Screen by FRANCO NERO as Lancelot! This is THE cape worn by Franco Nero (Lancelot) and purchased from Sotheby's Auction House during the Planet Hollywood auction. I must tell you that I was so engrossed in Vanessa Redgrave (yeah, I was 13 years old, so boys weren't all that exciting yet) when this movie came out, that I can't tell you when Franco Nero wore this cape in the movie. I was informed that he wore it so that you see pieces of it on screen. A gorgeous heather color open weave wool cape trimmed in wool yarn for fringe down front and huge collar. The front closes with a faux metal hook on leather straps. Sorry to show it on a female dressform... but that's all I have. My guy walked by it the other day, and pointed and said "now That I like!" Ah, if only we all had more romance in our lives, your husband/boyfriend would be Lancelot! Measures: 65" long from shoulder to hem. Excellent condition! NOTE: I sold Vanessa Redgrave's nightgown from the movie.  This cape came in the same Sotheby's lot as that nightgown.

Click on image for additional photos!		 #3281 - c. 1960's Magnificent 2-piece Performance Costume owned and worn by CAROL CHANNING Designed by BOB MACKIE! Amazingly...Carol Channing just called me (really!!) to buy back this elaborate red sequin lined white satin coat which was worn during the "Carol Channing and Pearl Bailey" television special. SO... it's the fully sequined micro-miniskirt (with sexy slit) and fully sequined tunic with attached mega beaded belt with long beaded fringe, which is still available. I asked Carol where she wore the miniskirt outfit, and she said it was for another TV special sometime between 1968-1973 (during the time of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In) . All pieces were designed by Bob Mackie specifically for Carol Channing. The costume was professionally dry cleaned prior to my purchase. Excellent condition for a performance outfit!!!! Carol Channing is back! She was just awarded the FIRST sidewalk star on New York City's new "Broadway Walk of Fame", won the first "Oscar Hammerstein Award" for Lifetime Achievement in Musical Theater, and is back out performing! I have a few other Carol Channing wardrobe and costumes coming up soon for sale. All came directly from Carol through auction. Guaranteed original. Just ask Carol!! :) The tunic measures 34-37" bust (stretches), and up to 39" hips (perhaps 40"),  length is 30" from shoulder to bottom,  sleeve measures 32" from back of midneck down over shoulder to end of sleeve.  Skirt measures 20.5" long from waist to hem, and waist measures 25/26".... the hips are open as the skirt is a wrap and is meant to be open (a lot!) on the leg under the long beaded piece. Skirt also has a sequin buckle at the waist. MUSEUM QUALITY. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed by Ms. Carol Channing.

$ 3500. for Mini-skirt and Tunic (sorry, coat is sold!)
NOTE: Coat was purchased back by Carol Channing herself !!

BOB MACKIE Gown
Worn to the Oscars in 1983!

SOLD on LAYAWAY
 #6656 - c. 1983 BOB MACKIE Gown Worn by CHER at the 1983 Oscars / Academy Awards - for her Nomination for Best Supporting Actress in "Silkwood"!  Previously sold at CHRISTIE'S AUCTION HOUSE at their Oscars Auction!  The ULTIMATE in COLLECTABLES!  An original Bob Mackie design, dramatic sheer beaded nude-colored evening dress constructed on a sheer mesh foundation embellished overall in crystal clear bugle beading.  The plunging halter neckline and sides are further decorated with draped strands of bugle beads and silver diamantes. Comes with matching taffeta and beaded stole (33" x 46").  The gown weighs in at 4 pounds.  Sold at Christie's 1999 "Unforgettable:  Fashions of the Oscars" auction for $27,600.  And that's 1999 pricing!!  It was Lot #5.  The photo in the auction catalog is different from the dress they actually sold (which is the dress you see here). If you go on the Christie's website, you will see the special "Saleroom Notice" which says:  "The dress being sold is not the dress illustrated in the catalogue. Cher has donated this Bob Mackie dress which she wore to the 1983 Academy Awards when she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, Silkwood". Fabulous investment!!  Note:  Elizabeth Taylor's dress from the same Oscars sale sold for $167,000!!!!  And another black outfit from the Cher auction sold for $60,000! Fully beaded onto nude netting, and lined in the right places.  Great open back!  Rhinestones on sheer areas and straps. Measures 34" bust, 25" waist, up to 35" hips, 60" long from shoulder to hem.  Nearly Near Mint condition... there are a few areas of beads missing, but this is an easy fix for a seamstress (and there are a few beads you can "steal" from under hemline... or if you hem up, there are more, but these are clear glass bugle beads that you can get most anyplace)... and there is netting pull at seam at one small place at front (again, easy fix).  The only issue at all that can't be made perfect is one small area on front where the netting is stressed a bit (see photos)... only seen on close inspection.  The gown comes with the shawl with beaded edging and long beaded tassels. Minor tear and stain on shawl (not on dress) with missing beads on tassels (again easy fix!).   Also Listed in the Museum Category.

HALLE BERRY Worn in
"Perfect Stranger"!
SOLD on LAYAWAY		 #6226 - c. 2000's MARTIN GRANT, Paris Steel Blue/Gray Satin Trenchcoat Worn by HALLE BERRY in "Perfect Stranger" ! This coat comes with a COA.  Why you ask?  It came to me directly from the production studio where it was previously worn by HALLE BERRY in the movie "PERFECT STRANGER". I haven't watched the movie so I can't tell you if it's actually in the movie, or on the cutting room floor, but it really doesn't matter, because this coat is special enough even without any movie provenance!  Heck, it's a Martin Grant!!  That means that it originally cost over $2,000 and it looks and feels as expensive as it was!!  Exceptional color of a steel blue/gray that you have hardly ever seen before.  SOOOO soft you will never want to take it off and you will want to wear it with nothing under. Huge patch pockets at front. Original tie belt.  Unique seaming at back waist!! Measures:  43" long from shoulder to hem.  As it's a wrap coat, size is really best for a 2-6 size as it has fairly tight sleeves.  Near mint condition other than a smidge of Halle's makeup inside the inner neckline lining (see last photo) and minor pulls of the left lapel (I think you'll over look it when you are saving about $1500! :).

SOLD		 #4690 - c. 2002 Black Elastic Dance Outfit from the "Cellblock" Dance Number in the Oscar Winning Best Movie of the Year, "Chicago"!  Purchased directly from the production company, comes this wild 4 piece outfit worn by one of the dancers in the cellblock tango scene.  I just found the scene from the movie on youtube (click on link below) and surprise, surprise... this is the outfit worn by "Lipshitz".  If you look very quickly or pause at the right spots, you will see the skirt flipping about on her as well.  And certainly the correct size red scarf used for her man. The straps are all elastic, and the bra and panties portions are sateen.  The "sleeves" are separate, as is the overskirt with mini weights in the "carwash" design.  The red square scarf symbolized the "blood".  FUN!!  Excellent condition for what it is!  Great gift for anyone who loves the movie!  Have fun wearing or displaying.

Youtube.com has clips of Julie Andrews
wearing this cloak on Sept. 13, 1972 from the
first episode of the "Julie Andrews' Hour "
variety show~

 #4653 - c. September 13, 1923 JULIE ANDREWS Worn Ivory Wool and Gold Lame Embroidered Cloak with Hood! Worn on the FIRST episode of her multi Emmy Award Winning "Julie Andrews' Hour" Variety Show singing "If Ever I Should Leave You" from the Broadway show "Camelot"! I researched to try to find out when and where Julie Andrews wore this cloak. Since the cloak looked to be "medieval" in style, I thought perhaps she wore it as Guenevere in Broadway's "Camelot".  But all photos from the Broadway show showed other cloaks.  So... I found nothing until I posted the question on the Julie Andrews Online website and within minutes "Christina" found the clip of Julie in the cloak singing "If Ever I Would Leave You" from Camelot - that's all I needed to find the rest of the information!  In the clip, aired on September 13th, 1972 during her FIRST episode of her variety show, she is wearing the underdress that I don't own, but it IS this cloak!  The cloak is in Fabulous condition (just a tiny bit of tarnish inside at hem, and probably some sequins missing but you'd have to search to find that).. and beautifully made!  Very heavy.  Exquisite gold lame (the kind they don't make anymore!) on an ivory wool weave fabric with diamond shaped detailing.  Extraordinary gold lame embroidery with sequins and beading border the cape at all edges, including the large gold lame lined hood. The gold lame dress shown under the cloak does NOT come with it,  and was NOT original to Julie Andrews ... rather it is an original 1920's gold bullion lace dress slightly redesigned that just looked nice under the cloak. The dress is available separately. Cloak measures 58" long in front shoulder to hem, 76" long in back. Excellent condition.

SOLD		 #6601 - c. 1980's JOAN COLLINS Worn on DYNASTY!  NOLAN MILLER Couture Designed Lavender Lace Peignoir Set of Slip Gown and Robe! Directly from an auction of many Nolan Miller's best entertainment items.  I love this... and I swear I remember seeing Alexis in this peignoir set when watching Dynasty in the 80's.  I'd have to watch every episode to find it for you, or you can have the fun of discovering it for yourself.  According to the COA from Nolan Miller, it was absolutely worn on the TV show. Awesome outfit for the bride-to-be, or be selfish and by it for yourself! :)  This is a totally collectable gown from the original Dynasty series - you'll just have to watch the series to find the peignoir set! Lavender silk lace robe with bell sleeves and covered tiny button front.  The matching lavender silk satin slip has lace at bodice,.. and a back zipper (remember, it's a costume!).  The lace robe is extremely long! Measurements coming, but approximately size 4/6.  Excellent condition.

AUTHENTIC - "Gangs of NY" Wardrobe
SOLD		 #4689 - c. 1860's Repro for the 2002 "Gangs of New York" Screen Worn by David Hemmings as Mr. Schermerhorn Plaid Velvet and Quilted Plush "At Home" or Smoking Jacket! Disclaimer:  I'm told it's screenworn, but I must tell you that I hated this movie, so I couldn't bear to watch it again to look for this smoking coat, so I'll leave it up to you.  Frankly I didn't care since I bought this particular piece for it's incredibly accurate antique look.  Most of the costumes from that movie were lower-class characters and therefore purposely dirty and worn.  NOT THIS PIECE!  As this was one of the few Upper Class characters. Worn by actor David Hemmings... perhaps best known for starring in the 1966 x rated movie, "Blow Up" with high fashion model Veruschka. Excellent condition and extremely elegant. Brown plaid velveteen with brown plush quilting at collar and long cuffs, with claret color rope trim and velvet cuff buttons. Frog closures at front. Measures: 44" long shoulder to hem, 25.5" long sleeves from outside shoulder seam to cuff. Fully lined. So... get him his slippers and pipe and play "Gentleman of the house"... you can be the French maid! :) Comes with COA from Miramax Films and prop company.

Wanna Dress like Jennifer Lopez?

SOLD		 #6135 - c. 2004 MARCHESA NOTTE Seafoam Plunging Halter Slightly Trained Gown! OK, I'm showing the photos of Jennifer Lopez wearing her Marchesa gown on the red carpet sometime in 2003/2004.  I would love to tell you exactly which event she wore this to, but I can't remember. (Perhaps there are some JLo fans out there who can let me know!).  All I remember is seeing her in this gown and swooning!  At first sight it became one of my all-time favorite gowns...ever!  So... when I found this Marchesa Notte version of the gown, I just HAD to have it! Same exact look though JLo's gown probably had beading at the waistband. This gown has silver passementarie that gives the impression of beading.  Excellent condition with a few minor issues as the gown was worn... likely only once. There are tiny little spots at midback pleating (only seen when you look directly down her back!), tiny light marks at skirt side, and small purply spots along the hemline.  See photos for all these issues. A dry-cleaner might do wonders, but it's certainly wearable as is! Measures:  34/35" bust, 25" waist, 57" long in front from shoulder to hem, 61" long in back.  Also Listed in the 1930-Today Category.

AUTHENTIC - "13 Going on 30" Jacket!

SOLD on LAYAWAY		 #4232 - c. 2004 "13 Going On 30" JENNIFER GARNER Worn Black Leather Jacket! It's almost worth gaining a few pounds so I can keep this jacket and wear it myself! Unfortunately, I'd also have to grow a few inches taller, and that is less likely to happen. So.. for all you size 8, 5'6" or better gals... if you don't love this jacket, I will start to wonder about you! The softest, thinnest, finest quality lamb leather.  Weighs almost nothing!!  Like a second skin! Like "butter!" :)   Beautifully fitted at the wide waistband, neckline and cuffs is a unique criss-cross leather "mesh". Front silver zipper with leather tab at bottom and top. Zip down for sexy look. Zip up for high-fashion look. Jennifer Garner has an amazing following! And, I confess, I love her myself! NOTE: Jennifer Garner's Versace dress from this movie went for $4,000+, her eye mask sold for $1,000 (!!!) and one pink nighty sold for $1,600! As far as I'm concerned, this is the best piece of the bunch! Comes with COA. Measures: 35" bust, 30" waist, 25" long arms from shoulder (that's much too long for me at 5'2"). Also Listed in the 1930-Today Category.

AUTHENTIC - Jennifer Lopez
Movie Worn Robe

SOLD on LAYAWAY		 #3679 - FRETTE Cotton Terry Long Robe worn by Jennifer Lopez in the Romantic Scene in the Hotel Room in "Made in Manhattan"! This is THE robe worn by J-lo, not some other robe made to the right specs. Purchased directly from the movie studio and comes with their COA. The robe was shipped to me in plastic, and when I took it out to photograph, I noticed some make-up still on the back of the collar from J-lo, and a long black hair still static attached to the back of the robe. I took the photograph and quickly placed the robe back in the plastic so... for all you medical science freaks out there who think eventually you can clone Jennifer Lopez from her DNA from her strand of hair... well... how many other chances are you gonna get to get a piece of J-lo??? :) Other than the make-up, robe is in Excellent, white condition. The "B" logo (for The Beresford Hotel) on the breast is a deep, deep forest green, nearly black embroidery. Extremely oversized as it would be in a hotel at Size XL. The most romantic gift you can give your loved one!

NOTE: The maid's outfit that J-lo wore in the movie was offered at auction. The final bid was $2250, but that did not even meet the reserve!!! That makes this robe a steal at:

AUTHENTIC Oil Painting of Mary Pickford!

SOLD		 #3801 - c. 1910-1920 Oil Painting Portrait of MARY PICKFORD by HENRY CLIVE! Originally purchased by Charlene Tilton from the 1981 Mary Pickford Estate Sale!! I do not specialize in artwork. However, when an item of this quality and beauty is within my grasp, it's impossible NOT to purchase!! I purchased the painting from Sotheby's and comes with the verbal provenance from this prestigious auction house... that Charlene Tilton (famous from her TV role on the popular "Dallas" saga series) purchased the portrait from the Mary Pickford estate sale. This beautifully painted original oil portrait by Henry Clive of a young Mary Pickford holding purple flowers. The dark background and dress set off the luminous skin and long reddish blonde hair (which helps to date the portrait to pre-1921 when her hair was this length).

The large 22 x 30 in. canvas is on a wooden stretcher and framed in wood with a green velvet liner and an overall size of 26 1¦2 in. x 32 1¦2 in. The wooden frame is likely not original... as it's not much. I would certainly consider re-framing. The painting is in Excellent condition, with slight scrape at the bottom of the picture (white thin scrapes... hard to know if original to the painting or scrapes!). A once in a lifetime chance to own an original early oil painting of "America's Sweetheart" which may have hung at the equally famous "Pickfair" home of Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, Sr.

Top of the line Valentino Couture, this is a simple linen day dress in apricot, with linen bands of gray light blue, light green and yellow. Slight blouson styling. Hand finished zipper at back.  Her name (as you see) is sewn inside the dress seam nearly hidden under the sewn in underarm pads (perhaps she was going to camp and the King had her name sewn in? - Just kidding!  That's what my Mom used to do when we went to camp! :) The dress looks to be in Mint condition.  Dress like a Queen!

AUTHENTIC - CAROL CHANNING Gown
SOLD		 #3282 - c. 1960's Incredible CAROL CHANNING Sequin and Tulle Television and/or Stage Worn Trained Gown by Award Winning Grace Costumes, New York! Ah, if only I could find photographs of Carol wearing this gown I could tell you where she wore it.   Some day I'll find the answer.... but, of course, that might increase the price, so best if you purchase before I get smarter!  :)   Obviously it wasn't worn off stage!  I was told it was from a TV special.  "Ms. Carol Channing" is written on the costumer tag.  The gown is completely covered in sequins on a black and metallic floss fabric.  Trimmed at neckline, hem and front skirt kicks in black tulle studded with sequins.  The "lines" you see down the front of the gown on each side are strips of off-white velvet.  These are stained (see close-up photos), but can EASILY be replaced with new matching velvet as they are just tacked on.  The only other issue is that some of the silver sequins have turned gold colored (mostly on left lower corner of dress).  You can leave as is, or touch up with silver pen if you wish, or replace.  Heavy duty back metal zipper at back. This beauty weighs a ton!  Huge train swings most of the way around the hemline. Measures: 36" bust, 28" waist, up to 41" hips, 60"-87" long from shoulder to hem.

Owned and Worn

SOLD		 #4340 - c. Spring 1966 Collection CHRISTIAN DIOR, PARIS Couture and Numbered Dress Owned by BARBRA STREISAND! Yup... Barbra Streisand loves vintage clothing! And this dress was purchased from her recent auction. Amazingly... I have the VOGUE magazine from March 15, 1966 with Barbra on the cover. The article?? "Barbra Streisand at the Paris Collections"! SO.. not only was this dress Barbra's... but we have strong proof (since the dates match perfectly)... that she bought the dress in 1966 during her photo shoot for Vogue!!!! So it's been in her collection since then. Imagine all the times she admired this dress... and now you can own it! Black stiff lace babydoll style with scalloped neckline, short sleeves and hemline. The entire two-tied lace skirt is finely knife-pleated. Black satin ribbon and bow at the slight empire waist. And, as you can see... sheer yoke and sleeves. Metal zipper at back. Excellent condition in everything but the fact that Barbra did not store the dress properly (amazingly!!!) and there is some mildew on the lining and satin ribbon. "Bad Barbra"!! Still with a bit of cleaning, it's nearly perfect! And a COUTURE dress with AMAZING history and PROVENANCE! Measures: 34" bust, 28" underbust, up to 38" hips, 37" long from shoulder to hem.

SOLD		 #4308 - c. 2003 Original Movie Jockey Silks or Racing Silks from "Seabiscuit" starring Toby Maguire!  Well, let's see.... Seabiscuit's saddle sold at auction for $215,000!  You can get a piece of Seabiscuit's history for a lot less.  Or at least from the wonderful 2003 movie version, as I have three HISTORICALLY ACCURATE to 1938 sets of jockey silks.  As it states in the Seabiscuit movie production notes: "All the specialty clothing in the film for the lead actors and particularly all of the custom silks adorning the jockeys were painstakingly created." This set is a brilliant turquoise blue and blush pink satin shirt with matching riding overcap and off-white silk twill riding pants.  You would have to be a real jockey's size to wear this as it's tiny, but makes a great display!!! Looks unworn, so it was likely used as a back-up outfit, or on-screen hanging in the tackroom.
