Vintage 60s Anne Fogarty Velvet Wiggle Dress

 Love this velvet wiggle dress by Anne Fogarty, her dresses are highly collectible. The brand came back a few years ago with a new launch and her original designs, I'm not too sure if they are still in business.

    This dress has just been listed on my Ebay collection at  Graveyard_999 today. Check it out by clicking the first photo. I marked it down due to condition, it has a small hole and mark on the back of skirt.Still a lovely dress.

MY VINTAGE ITEMS NO LONGER ON ETSY!

I am listing my expired items from my Etsy shop.  For now, I will remain open on my ONLY COUTURE, but will be letting my To Dress Vintage listings expire and will not renew them.

 I have a feeling a lot of sellers are going to be doing the same thing.

 Leaving ETSY is a good thing, so the time has come to move forward before they switch over to
pay as you go packages, much like Hulu. Remember when they were free. Think about it. They are going to be adding a  higher seller packages or subscription in 2019. So far its free for a standard subscription and a Etsy Plus is $10.00 a month.So if you don't make any sales, they can still charge you this fee. This way they make more money and leave the sellers that cannot pay behind. This is so unfair, that's why I'm moving on.... I even predict there will be a monthly rental fee for a shop, and they will get rid of the other fees altogether. This sounds like a nightmare.....sorry for ranting.




Here are the garments that just expired this week. I will be adding two photos along with its full description, please be patient with me I have a lot to list , so I will be listing in small groups.


More coming soon as the weeks wear on...

Hemlock Grove 60s Dress On Olivia

   Just finished watching Hemlock Grove on Netflix, and to my utter surprise there was my vintage 60s shift dress on the main character Olivia. Oh my gosh that is too cool. The actress Famek Janssen looked beautiful in this dress. The dress seemed so short on her, she must be at least 5' 11 ft or more in heels. It looked as if the costume designer might have altered it so it would appeal to the younger audience, gotta love their mini dresses.I would consider this dress a couture dress, probably worth a lot in its day.

 I will be selling it on my blog, not on Etsy, too saturated with vintage sellers. I'm getting tired of getting lost in the crowd of vintage dresses. Hee Hee!


 Here's my beauty like the same copy from the show just scroll down .

 Please email me if interested, at cabbiekat@hotmail.com

I do take offers.!      

  This was the scene that caught my eye, the beaded collar looked so familiar. Ah ha ! It is my dress to my delight!!!!Famek's is white like all here dresses on the show, mine is cream or champagne white. They might have bleached it white too. I wonder??? Anyhow enjoy this gallery of this dress! Sorry my tv is dying, color did not turn out that good. I will take others and replace these later. I just got so excited my dress was featured on this show. I wonder who the seller for this dress was? I hope they got some kind of fee or  some sort or recognition for there efforts.

60s TV and Fashion

  This is still vintage related. I have discovered for the first time the tv show from the 60s called The Mothers In -Law which was produced by Dezi Arnaz , who was the husband of Lucille Ball. I saw clips of this tv show on You Tube , but they were all deleted and I gave up thinking I would never see it again. Amazon has it for sale , but all my cash goes to vintage, so I would have to wait.

 Now Hulu Plus has this show along with the  The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy , which I'm a huge fan of. This really made my day!

While I was watching the Mothers In- Law , I spied a pattern of a dress that reminded me of my 60s scooter dress that I will be listing on our Etsy site soon.

    This dress looks very similar, but Eve Arden's must be silk and from a famous Hollywood designer, I need to check with the credits to see who her designer was.

     This scooter dress is 100% cotton and meant for a teenager. It is funny how the trends bounced back and forth form mother to daughter, how cute. Nowadays, mothers want to look like their daughters, LOL.

Here's our 60s scooter dress that resembles Eve Arden's day dress.
