Vintage Vanity

I thought I would share some of my Vintage collection, not all of it but just my favourites. I’ve been buying vintage for about 3 years now and I am quite chuffed at my collection.
Clockwise: 1950's dusty pink evening dress, 1960's Go-Go dress, just-plain-adorable sailors’ mini dress, 1960's air hostess double breasted coat.

Clockwise: 1950's Black Sparkle Cocktail dress, 1950's Turquoise Evening dress, 1950's Ivory White Brocade, 1980's sparkle party dress.

1950's fur muff and hat.

No dates on either of these but aren't they just the sweetest?

It's not too clear but they are made of feather. 1940s.
The back unzips and it becomes a bonnet! 1950s

Most of my hats. I still have a couple more but they wouldn't fit on the table. They range from 1950s to 90's I would say.

Gloves galore!
Clip on earring collection and a couple of broaches, necklace and a caplet clip.
Hope you enjoyed,

  3. I agree with the muff (both in wanting one and trying not to laugh!) what a gorgeous collection! I have quite a nice hat collection too but am working on building up my glove collection!

  9. What a collection and all in just three years! Do you get to wear much of it or is it too delicate?
