As the weather gets warmer, its tempting to dress lighter for early evening events and to finally exile the heavy coat you’ve been sporting all winter to the back of the closet.  However, sometimes the evening stretches to night and somehow the trip home is always freezing.  This 1960’s Antique Satin White Coat is the perfect solution.  Not only is it relatively lightweight, but it also the perfect weight of satin to keep off the evening chill late in the night.

It has a covered 5 button closure at the front that is fastened with fabric loops that are made with the same lovely satin as the coat.  What elevates this coat beyond just  a simple wrap is that its neutural shade is perfect with many colours so it has great versatility, but also it has fantastic lines in the back focusing in on two inverted pleats that add a bit of swing to the coat that gives the wearer freedom of movement.

This coat can be paired with the Antique White Satin tunic dress also currently in stock for a complete matching look.

Instead of a little black dress, why not go red?  For the holidays we now offer our Grace Kelly inspired dress in crimson Peau de Soie.  This luxurious, soft fabric is perfect in this design with its cummerbund-esque design.  As an added bonus, this design has concealed pockets hidden in two of the inverted pleats. Our dresses are also able to be custom fit and customized because of our wonderful relationship with designer Elizabeth Oliveira and her team at Labl Studio.  Please call us or visit our boutique for any further information.

Its almost time for the holiday season!  In preparation for all of the fantastic get-togethers, fundraisers, office parties, and romantic evenings we have been working furiously to add some new pieces of vintage-inspired glamor to our Cabaret Private Collection.  The newest design has now arrived – so new that we haven’t even decided what to name it yet!

This dress (like all of our Private Collection pieces) is directly styled from one of our favorite vintage gowns to pass through the store.  It has a very flattering deep-V neckline and a very flirty round skirt.  The highlight detail of this dress is the fantastic 60s style gathering of fabric at the waist.

Like all of the pieces in this collection it is available for custom order in a variety of sizes, colours, and fabrics.  However if you are considering one of our pieces for custom order for the holiday season – you may want to get your orders in early.

There has always been a place in my heart for Ms. Fanny Brice, the Zigfield Girl who made it big.  The movie Funny Girl inspired by her life was the first great hit in 1968 starting Barbra Streisand.  In addition to being an entertaining film to watch it has 40s inspired 60s fashions.  Every scene showcases a drool-inducing new piece of vintage glamor.  From hats and gloves, to the over the top Chorus Girl number outfits it is a time capsule and a great example of how clothes can make a movie.

If you are a lover of clothes, vintage or otherwise Funny Girl is a movie that you have to see (or see again).

Liquid Gold is the best description of the fabric of this 1950s cocktail dress.  Molten with the soft sheen of satin this dress is perfect for a party and a little dancing.  When kicking up your heels the round skirt twirls beautifully.
