Modern and lacy, its hard to believe that this dress is over 50 years young.  This dress is uniquely constructed with a pleated chiffon detail at the front with a bow at the back.  The cap sleeves are set in a way that gives them a bit of stiffness and volume when worn taking full advantage of the versatility of the fabrics.

This dress recently appeared on a great segment of E!Talk worn by the lovely Jill Barber when she recently visited Cabaret to speak about her newly released cd and her passion for fashion.  We’ve received a few inquires about the dress so we thought we would re-feature this great find.

This is an original 1940s original with some of the beautiful touches that were a halmark of that period.  A great stage-style dress, the top of the bodice is a beige coloured netting that has been hand detailed with rhinestones.  At the side, the flower accent that graces the hip is comprised of silk  handcut and assembled petals of various fabric colours.  Together they create a stunning bouquet.  As the segment on E!Talk points out, this dress is very Billie Holliday in nature with the great styling and cut of the bodice and hem.

This dress is a candy pink filled dream.  It has a round neckline that is adorned with sequin trim in a shimmering cotton candy pink ad the same trim is used throughout the gown in a swirl detail.  Chiffon is used at the back extending to the sides to create a short train that reaches to the hemline of the bodice.  Nylon zipper in back that extends beyond the hips.  For more details and images, take a look at this piece in our online boutique.

Hi,

I just wanted to share a few photos of my wedding this past weekend.  It was great, and the dress was perfect. I loved it…

A perfect example of the quality and fine weave of silk chiffon being produced at this time period, the material of this dress is fantastic.  Midnight black, it is a bit difficult to show the complexity of the pleating in this piece.  The horizontal pleats in this dress make for great movement on the body and are placed on a slight diagonal on the bodice that is very flattering in enhancing the figure.  Above the bust line, sheer chiffon is used to create a tunic-like top.  At the back the seam above the pleated area is secured with only a hook and eye, giving a peek-a-boo look with the top seam.

This top is so versatile there is no limit on what it can be paired with.  The perfect travel coordinate, it can be dressed down with jeans or taken to a formal event when paired with a lovely black chiffon skirt.  The construction is flawless and unusual being a ‘ribbon’ fabric.  Lovely delicate ribbons are formed and stitched on floral and swirl patterns on a net-like base of fabric.  Under the top, there is light chiffon lining for comfort and durability.  For more details and images, take a look at this piece in our online boutique.

60's innovation at its best

Sometimes Elizabeth finds the most curious things on her buying trips – such as this…The Built-in Sunglasses Hat.  Vintage 60’s engineering for those who can’t be bothered with both a hat AND sunglasses.  Doesn’t she look stunning and UV protected?

We love Katie’s almost western-inspired look with her fantastic vintage cowboy boots and scarf accent.  Our favorite accessory though, is her vintage colombian coffee grower’s bag that is in fantastic condition and a one-of-a-kind combination of a variety of fabrics.
