VINTAGE 1950s DEDE JOHNSON CIRCLE SKIRT

Gotta love this DeDe Johnson 50s print,the fox and hound ( yes, the fox gets away.) Every story gets a happy ending . Dede Johnson was a fashion designer that started the trend of the peddle pushers in the 50s and 60s. She has designed for such 50s tv shows such as Leave It To Beaver and the Dick Van Dyke show. Remember Laura Petrie? Yes, she wore those cute cigarette pants or peddle pushers and literately started a trend that would last forever. Anyhow, this skirt is on my To Dress Vintage website. The store name  about to change very soon to GRAVEYARD VINTAGE com.

Just A Sneak Peek At My September Inventory

    I have gathered together some fun vintage coming your way.  Here's a sneak peek at some labels and their swatches, all seasons in one quick blog. I will have these listed on my website and on my Ebay listing graveyardvintage_999 very shortly.


First up is this label possibly from the late 70s. SALLYIII , not familiar with this label. This dress is a plaid day dress about a size medium. The colors of this plaid are more like the bottom picture. A perfect day dress for this coming autumn. Listing shortly.

Here is a wonderful bright colored pop art resort gown, these are highly collectible.  Yes I know it's the end of summer here in the Pacific Northwest, but it must be summer somewhere. This one is so cool! Check out the print.
The bottom picture is the true color, its a purple not pink. I believe this one might be from the late 60s.  This is the most wild pattern, guaranteed to grab everyone's attention at the pool or beach resort. Look out folks.

This dress has a bit of a sensational background, the family of this clothing line in 2005 are now doing time. You have to Google this label, too much to explain. Poor little rich family, boo hoo you lost your lifestyle , reputation and your fashion empire in one fell swoop. This 1980s dress is a little black party dress with a 1950s look by the infamous Ronen Young. Coming soon...

  This is a transition from summer to early autumn dress, the dress is by Joan Curtis a 1970s clothing line. This one is a simple sleeveless, belted day dress perfect for a layered style for this coming fall. About a size medium, coming soon...

 Up next has to be one of my favorite collectible vintage labels, Gunne Sax. These dresses are now getting harder to find in modern day sizes; I have sold some in the past that were extra small , sometimes buyers just buy them for their patterns and repurposed them.  I had one with unicorns, I wonder if the lady was going to repurposed it or wear it.  This one is a short day dress very Victorian , a simple school girl dress with crochet bib and done in burgundy .  Stay tuned you'll love this one.

 This label I have never seen, it's a mystery to me. I love the font and  art design. I am very sure this one is from the late 1950s by the art work on the label. This one might have been someone's prom outfit and they decided to go against the grain and wear palazzo pants or romper. Stay tuned for this show stopper.

  I've saved the best for last. This one has a Playboy connection that I was not aware of. The art designer of this last dress worked for Playboy and did some their famous sexy cartoons. Wow , what you learn on the internet. Anyhow it does not have what you think ... get your mind out of the gutter.

Check out this sweet tiger face and clothes line initials. This dress is a 60s shift dress and very collectible in the vintage world. It will be available shortly, so stay tuned.

Thanks for checking out my vintage collection. If you have any questions or comments just message me at cabbiekat@hotmail.com. All spam will be blocked.

Lucy Would Love This Swing Coat

 I've decided to let this coat go from my collection, it can be found on my website.
Last night I was in a real sad mood. When life gets me down, I always watch I Love Lucy episodes to cheer me up and it worked. I love her in the fifth season with the Loving Cup . As the episode begins we see Lucy entering the apartment , she is so excited to show Ethel her new dress, but as she does she takes off her coat which appears to be a 1950s Teddy Bear fur cropped swing coat. You cannot tell if it is fake or not, but it resembles the one I have on my site right now. Mine is not styled exactly like hers, but it's very similar. Just take a look at this short video I shot from my phone.

Boy, it really looks like mine. I was in shock when I saw this episode.  Now I'm getting sentimental about this, but I have already listed it , so this needs to go to a good home.

 Here's mine , sorry the color is hard to capture.  The coat is a dove gray, not taupe. It's a real classic swing coat, these are getting harder to find.  Wearing real fur is slowly going out of style, and now vintage collectors are looking for fake fur to wear. I'm for saving the animals anyway I can, so my shop sells no real animal fur, just faux.  Plus if you get caught selling fur out of your state or the country, it can be deemed against the law and you will be faced with a hefty fine from the US Fish and Wildlife officers from your state ,so Google this information, it's real.   Just to help anyone out, here's a list compiled by Peta.  Don't try to sell MONKEY FUR JACKETS!!! YOU WILL GET CAUGHT!!!!

  Here's the official list from the US Fish and Wildlife website. There is also an endangered species list on Etsy and Ebay. ( they are cracking down on both seller and buyer, so you are warned)

  Here is a list of the countries that now ban fur. ( please note some of this website contains graphic images )
