Very lovely Edwardian silk and Irish crochet lace nightgown, pretty enough to wear as a dress, in a beautiful warm rose color. With silk ribbons making the drawstring neckline and raised waist, it could fit a small to medium size. It measures approx. up to a 40" bust and 38" waist, and is about 51" overall length. It has a small 1" long mend near the right shoulder and one pinhole in the back skirt that's lost in the folds, but otherwise, it is in excellent condition.

Adorable little flapper dress from the mid 20's Deco Era, when hemlines were high. The fabric is just amazing, in a silk print of browns, orange and black, with the velvet cut in the similar shapes. There is a lot of detail in the intricate seaming that gets a little lost, and there are four sets of three amber glass buttons that are shown in a close-up. It's about a size 2, and measures approx. 13" across the shoulders, 34" bust, 31" waist, 35" hips, 23" outside ...click for details

Lavishly hand-embroidered Chinese jacket in a silk-blend satin with scenes of people, pagodas, bridges and flowers. The colors are just amazing, bright and unfaded, and there are wonderful handmade frogs. Jackets with scenes like these are more rare and difficult to find than the kind with floral and bird motifs. It's a small to medium size, and measures approx. 17" across the shoulders, 22" outside sleeve length, up to 40" bust, 44" hips, and 27" overall length. It& ...click for details

Beautiful vintage 50's cocktail dress with a silk chiffon top and a heavy satin bell shaped skirt accented with little bows.

It zips down the back, and is about a size 4-6. It measures approx. 34" bust, 26" waist, 15" waist length, and 26" skirt length. It's a lovely little blac ...click for details
