The Astronaut Wives Club

     This summer I have something to look forward to - the Astronaut Wives Club it premieres June 18 on ABC at 8pm.  The costume designer Eric Daman has picked some beauties to drool over, and yes I have some in my closet right now. Lucky me to be a vintage dealer! The perks of selling vintage is that you have the pick of the crop when it comes to dresses. I have two or three floral dresses like the icy blond in the show, that I might wear today! It's going to be in the 70s near Seattle, so its summer dress season. I have put away my shorts and got out all my light 50s summer dresses to wear around town. I figured if I'm not really on Etsy anymore and sales are slow, why not wear my beauties, you only live once.

Here are some of the images that have surfaced on the internet on this show, I'm sure there's going to be more bloggers with better pictures , so watch out for them. I hope this show is a hit! I'm so excited for the premiere.

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.

 Here's some vintage ads found on the web. Not mine they are from Ebay and other sources.
