Now that summer is nearly over with even though it is about 67 degrees here in the Puget Sound area, I'm in the mood for Autumn already. I had my Pumpkin spice latte last week, which I felt like the cold weather will be here soon, so I might as well have one early. I decided to blog my fall Lilli Anns here since I have blogged them on my Shopify blog already, so I will be listing them soon. Here are the two 50s/ 60s Lilli Anns and a late 60s Knit Lilli Ann coat set. I'm taking all of these suits to the dry cleaners this coming week so they will be posted with descriptions and condition. If my seamstress has time this week I hope to get my fur collared Lilli Ann fixed. I noticed that it has a few holes on the sleeves, looks like someone might have displayed it on a wall or something, the holes are too perfectly aligned or a very talented moth, hehe. The blue plaid suit is in great condition only discoloration on the underarms, no odors or tears. The 60s mod dress and coat needs some work. The dress has some light stains could be bleached out. The coat has a small tear , the owner must have pinned a heavy brooch or something to the lapel. I did notice when trying it on the lining is coming loose, not bad but will need to be repaired. Again I will have these all listed after fully repaired and dry cleaned.

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.

My Three Lilli Ann suits coming soon....

This is why I love Lilli Anns....
I have been a huge Lilli Ann fan for years, I purchase my very first one in high-school at a local vintage shop in the 1980s. Thanks to the vintage shop Kitchy- Koo I fell in love with a Lilli Ann faux leopard print coat. This coat is long gone, I ended up selling it to a gal at a local coffee shop. Boy, do I miss that coat of mine. When I get one it is hard to let go, but boy do they sell fast. I had such a good week when one coat went to California, a dress went to NYC and now my favorite one is off to the UK. I have only three more Lilli Ann suits left in my collection, I hope they sell soon. I might keep them, hehe. I have not listed them on my website until they come back from the dry cleaners this week, and one will need some repairs. I will blog them later...stay tuned.
Here are the beauties that are now in happy homes...
