Have fun with vintage!
Welcome to my Graveyard Vintage blog. I will be posting everything vintage, whether it's my collection or things that just catch my eye. I have been on the web with the name To Dress Vintage, I am no longer using that name. Graveyard Vintage was a dream come true years ago, so now I can sell more than just vintage clothing, now I can sell vintage housewares ,vintage accessories and any other finds. Thanks for being patient with this change. Please come again Vampira would be pleased as well.

Alfred Angelo's Burlesque Style Dress
Up for offer is this fantastic Alfred Angelo's fun cocktail dress. Actually it would be a perfect performance dress for a singer or classic burlesque dancer. The dress of course would need to be altered, in order to perform a strip tease, but that's up to you.
I will be listing this dress on my Etsy this week, so stay tuned.
I found some great snap shots of classic burlesque performers from the 50s. Gotta love their fishtail dresses, similar to mine. Sorry about the color change, the dress is a dark blue not black. The sparkles are not colorful , they are silver. The dress does have some of the sparkles missing, not bad when you're on stage. The last closeup shows the true color and what the sparkles look like up close, they are not beads or sequins. Measurements are 34 bust- waist-28 hips 36 - medium size dress, there's no stretch due to fabric. If you are interested in this dress just email me at cabbiekat@hotmail.com or check out the dress on my To Dress Vintage Etsy shop. Thanks!
Look at Rita Hayworth's dress from the 1952 movie" Affair in Trinidad" , what a knockout dress.
