I really wish I could convey the feeling of that beautiful fabric and how it presents in person as it is even better when you see it in real life. The red bits have an almost inner glow to then that doesn't quite convey in the photos.  The cut is a classic 1950s fitted silhouette that just skimmed over the body but still emphasized curves. The fabric is very beautiful - the base is a black silk matte satin and the velvet fused onto the fabric and over the red rose print that is worked through the silk in a way that gives it a slight 3 dimensional feel. The velvet used to do this is a rich deep red. I love the simplicity of the bodice and the seamed waistline. The skirt skims over  the hips and softens out to a a simple a-line cut. Excellent condition with one small note below

Fully lined in a black silk organza and closes with a back zipper. There is one tiny repair where the fabric has been tacked down where the seams meet at the arm on the right side. The dress has been priced accordingly and is strong and stable

Vivienne Westwood loves an asymmetrical cut and here she does it to perfection with this play on a man's waistcoat. It has that wonderful 18th century feel to it that she does so well and has an almost sculpted effect. It has an inner ties to close and then it wraps over itself and is secured in place by one of her logo embossed buttons at the side. I love the draped effect through the front and the way it sits low and wide around the neck. The effect if worn alone is very sexy. You can also use it as a layering piece. Excellent condition

This is a classic Vivienne Westwood piece that plays on the 18th century in its design execution. I doubt that many labels in the world can equal Vivienne's  amazing corsets and their iconic status. It is highly sculptural in feel with its wonderful draped panels layered and placed over and inner stiffened board. This is cut so that the bust is pushed up to suggest the style of corsets from the 1700s. It is fully boned through the back and has ties that you can wrap around your body and cinch to add even more shape if you wish. I love that is has her signature asymmetrical cut so it feels instantly recognizable. Excellent condition

This little beautiful Suzy Perette dress is made of a beautiful light weight fabric with a floral pattern in an array of citrus hues. I have not found a really great Perette dress in ages and am so pleased to have such a fine example of her work in the shop today. There never was an actual "Suzy" behind the label but the company that created the line relied heavily on the designs coming out of Paris and the interpretations of the Couture looks, in particular Dior's "New Look", were spot on. This gorgeous little dress dates from the 1950s and has such pretty colors and pretty lines that you can't help but swoon at the sight of it. The top is a simple sleeveless affair with a wide boat neck cut. It is seamed to hug the body and then this flares out and tops a full skirt that has lots of fabric in it and could be worn over a crinoline if you wanted it even fuller. The entire skirt is made from a series of perfectly spaced, crisp knife pleats so it has a lot of movement. The original, matching fabric belt cinches in the waist even more and I love the large flat belt that adorns the belt. The colors are lovely, the cotton voile fabric of very good quality and the lines and cut are wonderful. Excellent condition

Fully lined with a white muslin and closes with a back painted metal zipper. The belt is in excellent shape as well.

The Hawaiian label Kamehameha was launched in 1936 and was named after King Kamehameha who united the Hawaiian islands. They were famous for their brilliant tropical floral prints which they made for the tourist markets. They combined the feel and beauty of Hawaii with the looks popular on the mainline. The items were manufactured on the island and the prints done in-house.  They primarily used cotton for their designs and this dress is no exception. The fabric is that perfect crisp fifties cotton and it has been screened with a brilliant pattern of leaves on an abstract yellow backdrop. The bodice is fitted and cut so that it has shape and molds to the bust. I love the double front panels of fabric around the bust that allow for support but give the dress that interesting detailing. The waist is cinched and the skirt is very full below that. I have photoed it with a light crinoline for that full fifties cupcake effect but it can easily be worn in its own as well. The back is finished with a panel of elastic so the fit adjusts to the wearer. Excellent condition with one small note regarding the elastic to review below.

The dress is unlined and closes with a side metal zipper. Some small areas of the elastic back have loosened out a touch. I am being pretty picky. It is perfect otherwise.

This stunning dress that dates to the late forties, early 1950s combines a beautiful print and color combination with sequins and a pretty feminine feel. The entire dress is stunning and made of a beautiful black cotton voile with a pretty floral print scattered over its surface. The fabric choice helps it to keep its shape and volume and really show off those ruffled tiers perfectly while still keeping it light and summer feeling. Three full tiers make up the skirt and are layered over each other with each getting wider as they near the hem. This creates incredible volume and movement. The top is fitted around the bodice and has a pretty pleated and draped detailing that highlights the bust.Two tiny straps curve over the shoulders. The best part is the finish of green sequins that are hand set everywhere you see the flower print. These early dresses are harder and harder to come by and this one is exceptional. Excellent condition.

Unlined and closes at the side with a metal zipper. Hand finishes and hand applied sequins. Note that there is no tag present but the owner passed onto me that it did have a Fred Perlberg label originally.

This dress is one of the best 1940s dresses I have seen and is well made and definitely higher end workmanship. It has its Fashion Originators Guild Label but no other. The Guild was formed by a group of designers, manufacturers and actual shop owners who agreed that they would only work with original designs and not sell, design or produce "knock-offs". The group existed form 1932-1941 giving us a 9 year period in which to date this dress.

The blue base of the dress is so dark that in some lights it seems black which only serves to allow that brilliant green and red print to feel even more of a pop of color then it is. The dress is made from a beautiful weight silk that is cut on the bias so has a touch of stretch to it. It is also easy to see that it was stored properly for all these years as the colors are as crisp and vibrant as the day it was made. The base is that deep blue-black hue and then onto this is a beautiful floral print in a vivid green ad a bright, true red. The cut is fitted with a V neck and pleating along to top of each shoulder and it has fabulous pouf sleeves below that. The waist nips in and is accented even more with attached panels of fabric that turns into two extremely long ties that wrap around you and tie to accentuate the waist with. The skirt is cut to below the knee and flares out slightly as it reaches the hem. What a beauty Excellent condition.

This is a cute and sexy little dress that combines a beautiful silk with a fun, multi-color dot pattern. It is from the D&G label which no longer exists. The cut is classic D&G with a fitted, curving cut that follows the body and is very flattering. The bodice has a full built in corset with cups that keep the dress in place. Over this, the silk skims and drapes, down and around the body. There is a ruffled detail that circles the sweetheart neckline and that ruffle then extends down from one side, curves over the waist, and then runs down one hip. The skirt is cut to come up slightly at the spot where the ruffle ends for a little extra leg. At the back is one of their signature, large chunky zippers and the silk is all set to drape inward towards that. Signature, adjustable, lingerie straps sit at the shoulder and can be removed to make it a strapless dress. It is fabulous on and I love the colorful dots. Excellent condition

Stripes and prints were mixed with joyful abandon on the Spring 2011 Prada runway and were then translated for retail with very little difference in some case. This skirt is a great example of that as it stays very true to the version that walked the runway. This is a mixing of prints that has become iconic and instantly associated with Prada. It is made of a almost canvas feeling cotton mix so it retains structure. The print covers the skirt from top to bottom and all the way around the sides and back. I love the baroque feel it has mixed with a very modern silhouette. It's a beauty. Excellent condition

Style.com said of this collection:

"Only Miuccia Prada could attach a label like "minimal baroque" to a collection whose references ranged from hospital scrubs to seventeenth-century cherubs to Jazz Age superwoman Josephine Baker. Fishing around for an alternative to "fresh," she herself came up with "brave, bold, and obvious"—that last one a typical head-spinner......But there was also more than enough of Prada's twisty-ness to boost this collection into her already chock-full pantheon of greats. Those cherubs, for a start, plucked from a curlicued baroque interior and all mixed up with bananas and naive monkeys in an exuberantly cartoonish print that looked like something lifted from a poster for a Josephine Baker performance at the Folies Bergère in the twenties.....As she said backstage, banana earrings vibrating: "It's time to be bold." And that's one maxim that, with any luck, will rub off on the world at large."

I love this little velvet Pucci top. His velvet pieces have an extra layer of richness and texture to them because of the luxurious fabric choice, plus, nothing holds color like his velvet's do. This one is a stunning mix of brights anchored with black and mixed with pops of white. And of course this is all done in one of his classic, signature prints. It has boat cut neckline and the cut skims the body to just over the hip. I love the one contrasting panel at the front and how it has a contrasting border around the waist. I especially love the button up back with its little velvet covered buttons. Excellent condition

This sweater is fabulous and it is a wonderful example of the knitwear that was coming out of countries like Germany for the tourist market from the 50s to the 70s. It is completely hand made and I love the floral design that is worked through the knit down the front and curving around the back. It also trails down each sleeve with heavy braided borders surrounding the floral design. The knit through the body is nubby and both the flowers and braiding are raised so has an extra dimension to it. The sleeves narrow as they reach the wrist and I love the cap on each shoulder. Little wood buttons are the perfect arts and crafts finish. Knits like this are showing extremely strong on the Prada, Miu Miu and Gucci runways this season and finding an original that can easily stand up to any of the newer pieces is a find. Excellent condition

Unlined and closes at the front with wood buttons. The knit does have some stretch so will fit a variety of sizes.

This is a fantastic little print dress is one of the most recognizable of the dresses that walked the 2004 runway presentation from Prada. In Vogue's review of the collection they said: "For Spring 2004, the designer turned her attention to the stiffest fashion challenge of the day: how to make feminine, happily nostalgic clothes without rehashing the clichés of vintage? “It was about tourism and craftsmanship, many things,” she said of a show that revisited the optimistic fifties to bring back a full set of densely packed suitcases. Out tumbled every possible variation on the classic touring wardrobe: circle skirts printed with illustrated Mediterranean scenes, shirtwaists and Capri pants, sundresses and bathing suits, button-through skirts and lovely evening frocks, silk madras bras and little tulle full-skirted dance dresses."

It is constructed from a gorgeous custom screened cotton that has a slight starched finish so it feel crisp and holds the shape. It is of course styled with a strong nod to the 1950s and has a neat collar and shirt button front. The sleeves are cut long an slim with a button at each cuff. The waist nips in and the skirt is tremendously full - if laid out flat its volume is greater then a full circle there is so much fabric in it. The fabric itself is a marvel it is covered with a postcard print and if you look closely you realize it was all placed deliberately to follow and highlight the cut of the dress. Perfectly Prada and highly collectible. Excellent condition.

The dress is unlined and closes with the buttons down the front. The quality of finishes that one would expect from Prada. Tagged a Prada 46 but is cut small so please check measurements below. It appears to have never been worn.

This dress is stunning. It is from Jean Muir and incorporates her love of using leather touches within her designs - you often see this in her earlier pieces. The base fabric is made from a slinky, matte black jersey that gives the dress a bias cut feel when on and makes it very comfortable to wear. The skirt is dropped  and gathered into the low seam with soft pleats. This gives it fullness and movement and also has a nod to the flapper dresses of the twenties. The bodice is cut to skim over the bust and waist in a loose and easy fit. I love how the collar is squared off and panels of black leather define both the collar and shoulder. bands of leather wrap right over and around each shoulder and down and around the arm. On each cuff leather is used again to define the wide sleeves. It is fantastic and one of the best Muir's I have had. Excellent condition.

Unlined and closes with a back zipper. At the back neck is an elaborate wired frog knot closure. Hidden snaps are set under the leather at the top of the neck in addition to the frog knot.

An absolutely gorgeous Pucci dress with a sublime and chic color palette in soft blues and lavenders mixed with greys and off-white. It is made from his signature lightweight silk jersey and has one of his signature custom screened designs running over its surface. The sleeves are full and billow above the wide cuffs. These balance a bodice that is cut to skims over the bust and features a deep and sexy plunge. The skirt flows to the floor in a sleek and simple column. This is a classic Pucci silhouette that is instantly recognizable and very sexy despite it covering you from head to toe. I love the contrasting pattern at at the cuffs, neckline and front and that circles the easy cut waist. It zips up down the front and is so comfortable to wear. The print and colors all work with each other beautifully. This is a piece that will never go out of style or seem anything but appropriate no matter if worn for day or evening. It is a perfect example of what the best Pucci's are all about. Excellent condition with some small notes below.

Whenever I find a piece that has the iconic Pucci butterfly print across its surface, I am always a little extra pleased because it is one of my favorites of all of his designs. The print is spectacular. It is bold and bright and classically Pucci. The colors are wonderful together - the base is a deep chartreuse - that color that sits perfectly between green and yellow. Screened over this is that beautiful butterfly print that is done primarily in a purple mixed with shots of other colors worked in. I love the strong use of a contrasting border that defines and anchors the waist and hem. The dress is made out of a light scarf weight silk that makes it very easy to wear and it feels lovely when on. It is cut straight and lean through the body with a gentle flaring as it nears the hem. This simple cut allows the dress to act like a canvas for that insanely beautiful print. The simple sleeveless bodice perfectly balances the length of the skirt. This is truly a fabulous example of the more sophisticated side of Pucci. Excellent condition with a small note below.

From the mid-nineties, this is an amazing example of Westwood's tailoring and precision in cut during this time period of her career. The pants are flat fronted and cut with a nod to a man's tailoring. The legs are wide and I love that she cuffed them using a wide cuff of the traditional matte silk satin that normally would run down the side of each leg. This little quirk of a detail that utilized a traditional element in an non-traditional way is a hallmark of her work. The jacket is also pure Westwood with a cut that gives both shape and definition of the lines. A rounded collar of the same matte silk satin used on the cuffs with a finish of inky black velvet at the top neck give it that tuxedo feel. Each sleeve is finished with her signature gold logo engraved buttons and two more sit at the front. It is in remarkable condition and still as relevant ans wearable as when it was made - perhaps even more so. Excellent condition.

The jacket is fully lined in a lingerie nude silk lining embossed with her logo. The pants are unlined but ribbon finished on the inner waist hem and hand finished at the inner cuff. Pockets sit on the hip of the jacket. The jacket buttons to close and the pants close with a hidden set zipper on one hip. Perhaps the very lightest of scuffing on the matte silk satin cuffs but nothing that detracts.

The striped version of this dress was all over the editorial pages in 2009 and the fitted silhouette and sexy ladder back was a celebrity favorite. The version I have here today is the all black which I think you will actually get more wear out of. The fit and shape is still there and that back just as statement making. Made of a black stretch knit the dress slips on an forms and clings to your curves. It is cut high and scooped at the front and the back has straps of the same fabric crossing the back to create a ladder effect. This basically leaves the back almost completely bare but in a way that is even sexier than having it just a bare expanse of skin. One of those pieces that seems simple from the front and drops jaws once you turn. excellent condition.

The combination of the deep blue combined with the tropical prints give this wonderful little eighties Dior a nod the the forties. That combined with the gorgeous bare shoulder silhouette makes this dress a real little beauty. The collar is accented by a wide flat ruffled edging that circles the shoulders and gives the dress a little bit of a dramatic feel but not so much that you couldn't wear it for either day or evening. The bodice has softly fitted and the waist is nipped in and accented further by a matching belt. The skirt below is a simple pencil that allows that combination of shoulder and print to take center stage. The silk taffeta fabric choice allows for the dress to have it's structured lines and and not feel too flowing or loose fitting. It is exquisite. Excellent condition.

You can always expect a riot of pattern and color from an Etro dress and this lovely little piece is no exception. The silk has a riotous clash of bright colors that cover the dress from head to toe. I love the mix of a pink-purple with pops of green, coral and white. The bodice is cit to be fitted and then the skirt flares out on the bias for an easy fit that skims and drapes over your curves. The bodice is finished with an elaborate edging of bead-work with a mix of long tube beads. pink and coral crystal and dangling beads that move when you do. This finish of beads hints at an exotic, tribal inspiration and somehow despite all the different colors and patterns it all works. Excellent condition.

You know a dress was good if it got pulled for Gossip Girl. I think every brand on the planet was clamoring to get a piece from their label onto that show. The twin of this particular dress was worn by Leighton Meister, playing Blair Waldorf, in Gossip Girl during Season 2 for Episode 21 for the 2008-2009 season. Then on top of that this is from the now defunct D&G label. Last and most importantly, it is just an absolutely gorgeous little dress. The fabric is a pretty silk organza that has a muted abstract floral print in a combination of pink and deep olives mixed with black. This is layered over an inner black silk interior and this gives it a real depth and unusual effect once on. The skirt is very full and flirty and has a pretty ruffled hem. The waist cinches in and is banded and the halter style bodice finishes with a ruffle neckline that is really pretty. At the back their signature big chunky zipper gives that prettiness a bit of a edgy contrast. Excellent condition.

The main fabric is a off-white, natural colored silk and onto this is a dense embroidery done in a deep red thread. A good portion of the fabric has cut outs that follow the pretty design that covers the dress and that red thread edges and highlights every single one of them. The bodice is cut in a deeply plunging halter on both the front and back. It is banded in red grosgrain just under the bust and the skirt falls baby doll style under that and has a good amount of volume. It just fit the mannequin and I feel that on a smaller girl it will sit better and the skirt will feel more full as its being pulled up a touch in the photos. A red ruffle in the same fabric finished the hem and the interior is well done in layers of silk chiffon. Excellent condition

Fully lined in a nude silk chiffon and closes with aback zipper. Internal cups sewn into each side of the bodice. Tagged a US4 but please check measurements below. No label other then the size an fabric tags. Some hand work in the interior. It feels more red in person then how the photos captured it.
