Daisy-Your entire ensemble with the hat,actually makes me think of the movie the "Titanic".Stunning!
Kate Winslet got to wear some gorgeous ensembles.

Decodoll-That's going to be beautiful on you.
I remember you posting a dress once before with a sweetheart neckline and it was a very flattering shape on you.

Those are nice shoes, for a great price! I have a similar pair as well--the only difference is the heel (my pair has a shorter heel then yours.)

 

[Daisy Buchanan]

CherryRed that dress and those shoes are great.

 

[CherryRed]

Thanks Ladies!

Those shoes really had me excited. I kept redaing and rereading the measurments, I couldn't belive the condition for that price! I know they would have been more on ebay.

 

[Rosie]

Oh Daisy, I just saw your hat. Very nice, good for a late Sunday brunch.

 

[decodoll]

Thanks Ruby and Cherry!

Cherry, your purchases are lovely!! I'm particularly envious of the shoes.

Blue satin dress

I just won this dress, my first vintage clothing piece. I usually buy vintage hats and shoes, and wear more vintage-inspired clothing. But I just loved this dress!

This is one of my lastest purcahses:

I love it! I have been looking for a sailor dress for ages and this is just perfect! It is a Betty Barclay dress to and i found this out about her clothing:

In the United States of America the former 'teenager collection' BETTY BARCLAY already existed in the 1940ies. Every year a Miss BETTY BARCLAY was elected, who travelled all around the United States and presented during fashion shows the newest BETTY BARCLAY styles to young girls. In the world-famous 'Garment-Center' in New York a team of young stylists worked on this collection, which again and again enchanted young American girls.

Masie, that is a great dress!! I like how you were able to find designer information too. It's always nice to know the history behind the outfit.

TexasGirl, that is a very pretty gown. Congrats on your first vintage dress purchase.

 

[maisie]

Thanks! I know its really nice when a piece of clothing has some history! And all i had to do was tye the name in to Google!
I have been looking for a sailor dress for ages, but they seem to go for stupid prices, and i thought this one was so cute as well!

 

[RetroModelSari]

Maisie the sailordress is georgous!!! How much did you pay for it?

Just a few minutes ago I won this beauty for 1 €, that¬¥s just a 1,23 $ or something.

I had an eye on it since the day it was put in but I didn´t even dare to observe it cause I thought it would go up to an extreme price. Now 1 hour before the auction ended I realised no onw bid for it yet. I was bidding but thought I´d be outbid in the end for sure. And now I have this little beauty!!!! It´s a bit big in the waist but that can be fixed

 

[DancingSweetie]

Maisie that is so cute, I wish I could find dresses like that in my size.

 

[RedShoesGirl]

i JUST won this shirt - and the price was great, $53.something — i have seen these for way more than $150

i kept waiting for someone to outbid me.

[KAT]

got this one the other day ..lets just hope it fits me

 

[DancingSweetie]

Kat that is gorgeous, I won a similar dress but the waist is too small. I just won this train case!

 

[Daisy Buchanan]

Sari and Kat WOW those are great finds. They are all sooo pretty. I haven't had luck lately finding anything on ebay. Although I did find 2 handbags and a cute pair of shoes last weekend at a shop. I'm just looking for that perfect dress, with my new saying "Queen Maryeable" which means worthy of the Queen Mary event. Haven't found it yet, but any of these dresses you ladies have found would definitely be great for it.
RedShoes, that is a cool western shirt.
DancingSweetie: I've been looking for a red train case to match my red luggage! Lucky Gal!!
