Wishing It Was Summer

 It has been such a long winter, spring is nearly here in about 16 days, but I'm dreaming of summer right now.

 I have gone through my vintage collection and decided to start posting again,been very busy this past year, but I'm still here. Omaa indayaa !!! ( Ojibwe)

 These items will be on my website in the near future, but you can find them on Etsy right now.

 Please email me at cabbiekat@hotmail.com if you have any questions or message me on Etsy, thanks.

 This 60s 70s cotton mini muumuu Hawaiian dress now available, just message me for
details. I have this muumuu styled with a belt, it really is an a-line tent dress perfect for
a beach cover up this summer. Just pair this with some cute espadrilles or salt water sandals and voila, a fun beach look.

Another Mad Men dress from my collection

  Here's a dress I found in my collection that looks so similar to the Jane Sterling character . It's a sheath dress with a boat neckline, bloused bodice, elastic waist and narrow sash belt. The closure has a back metal zipper, and the dress is unlined very 60s. This one is sleeveless whereas Jane's character is short sleeved. I also noticed that the color block patches coordinate except for one that is a dark brown. This dress is by Diane Young  , a label from the 50s and 60s that manufactured shirts , blouses, and ladies dresses.

Shirtwaist Classic Fashioned by Diane Young.

 It measures 40 around the bust, the waist is 26" to 30" and the length is 42". Hand wash.

 Size Small/Medium.

Now in shop 50s Lilli Ann Cocoon Coat L

Here's a wool cocoon coat by Lilli Ann Paris California. It is from the late 50s, fully lined, accented with curly Persian lamb ( not too sure if it's real) and has a sweet front bow. It is a large size, but can be cinched at the waist with a vintage belt, to give it a more fitted look.  The Princess coats that I've seen on the web are so expensive, this is all you have to do to achieve that 50s new look or  princess coat look is add a large belt.  The waist appear smaller too, cool tip from the 50s.  

Emma Domb for the Holidays.

 Note to self... If the black and gold one does not sell before the holidays, I am going to wear it to the Brian Setzer concert, hehe. I just love my vintage closet I have soooooo much to choose from since I'm a vintage dealer. These dresses are both available now on my Etsy shop , my personal website or just Google Todressvintage and there you go. Sorry I can't model the antique white gown, the size it too small for me. I do have photos of me in the other dress. Its about a medium, but I have it pinned to me. My husband took photos of me in the dress, that was a fun afternoon.  I just like to have fun with my vintage.
