Gorgeous 40's tweed coat by Irene, the California designer who replaced Adrian in 1942 at MGM Studios. In 1935 she started doing custom work through Bullocks Wilshire. This coat, with its subtle leather detail on the collar, is in a beautiful wool herringbone tweed in black, gray and white on a yellow ground, which makes it have a slight greenish cast. Beautifully made and completely lined in black taffeta, it's about a size 8. It measures approx. 17 1/2" across the shoulders, 21&qu ...click for details

The cutest 30's Waitress uniform I've ever seen. Of starched green and beige cotton, it looks like it was never used, although the name Martin is embroidered over the pocket. It has little buttonholes for what must have been detachable buttons, and it also comes with two aprons. There are 2 side pockets as well as the chest pocket, and the construction of the outfit is quite sturdy. The label says 34, so that's about an American 4-6. The dress measures approx. 14" across the sho ...click for details

Late 1960's crocheted vest in wool and leather for the perfect Boho rich hippie look. The colors are beautiful, bright, and varied, adding to that all important psychedelic look. A size small, the vest measures approx. 33" bust, 30" waist, and 19" length when buttoned, but it's fairly stretchy and looks great unbuttoned. Except for some darkening to the suede patches, which just adds to the patina, the vest is in excellent condition.

Beautiful Oaxacan hand embroidered Mexican dress in white on white. The embroidery floss is slightly shiny, so the subtle contrast with the mat cotton is really lovely. I've shown the dress belted with my Hippie belt (not included), but, belted or not, it's a great example of this kind of folk wear. About a medium to large size, it measures approx. up to 48" bust, full hips, and 48 1/2" overall length. My form is a size 6, so the dress looks good on a smaller size as well.
