Lillie Rubin Couture Dress and Lillie Rubin Through 50s- 80s vintage Lillie Rubin

  Lillie Rubin  started 1946 in Miami Florida,  sadly it went out of business in the 1990s.. I really  believed that it was person behind this label,  kinda disappointed that it's the store name. Glad to find out that many famous designers stood behind this store's label from many years.- from Joan Leslie, Johnny Herbert, Robert David Morton, Molly Paris, Pierre Cardin, Fora King, Giorgio Sant' Angelo , and many more too many to list.  The label was known for their evening gowns for weddings, prom, and other special occasions.  The brick and mortar stores are no longer around, now the company is owned by Cache.

 Here's my late 70s early 80s  vintage Lillie Rubin, a sweet little number. Perfect for any occasion, what a fun dress and very unique. Wow! Perfect pin up style - va va voom!!! I wonder who designed this dress?

Measurements-bust 38-waist-28-hips36-pouffy black rosettes 9 inches across-(very large but so cute)-found one tear on rosette, that's all.

SOLD!  Now at my Etsy shop To Dress Vintage and on Babylon Mall Only Couture is this fantastic leopard faux fur coat from the late 60s to early 70s.

     I'm offering free dry cleaning and repairs on this one, so its ready to wear . Such a classic swing coat to treasure for years to come.

Measurements: chest 48 waist48 hips 50 length 36 - much smaller with belt-


Condition: Found a few flaws, one tiny mark and one underarm has an seam opening on lining needs to be repair, the hem is frayed, and it needs a good cleaning that's all. The original belt or clasp is missing, I think this was supposed to be fastened in the back with the two notches on the side.
