Coming soon! Enzo size 6, pure white, sleeveless dress


I love the satin buttons all the way down the back. So elegant and pure.  Can't you just see this with a sash? I have a white ribbon sash and a black velvet belt to style this dress for new photos. I am happy to include either with the dress purchase.  This dress is my new favorite! For a a couple of other looks, a very bling-y crystan bridal belt would definately make this an evening look, and a ribbon sash with a huge, white silk flower would make it darling for a garden/outdoor event.
 Satin and chiffon. Worn once and in perfect condition.  Retail $800, asking $200.  Perfect for the bride who wants the princess look, but doesn't want the exposure of a strapless.  The train just goes on and on. Gorgeous! Would look very glamorous with a tiara and a full, shorter veil. 

The Limited bridal collection New with tags size 6

Here is a quick sell, that may suit someone who even just needs a formal. Champagne silk and cotton dress from The Limited's bridal collection. (similar to JCrew's collection). Size 6 with a little wiggle room. Strapless with pockets,  a little belt and no train.  I would trade the belt for a sheer ribbon and flower, if it were me, since it would soften it--but the lack of a train makes it perfect for a less formal event.  The skirt in person is more full than the picture shows, and it has removeable straps.  I will take pictures with models later, but the picture shown is the company photo.  Retail price is $350. Asking $65. 

Pronovias size 12 (8-10) pure ivory silk

gorgeous dress, and i will add more pictures later. New with tags, and just a perfect dress. Sleeveless with a long train. The lack of beading or lace makes it so elegant, and rich looking--very Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly.  With pearls and gloves and maybe a diamond broach, just stunning.  $400 or best offer.

Essense of Australia Champagne over Ivory net and lace strapless, New with Tags size 10 (8)





this picture shows the bodice detail better.  The darker lining makes the detail really shine.





This is one of the shots from the company.  The dress can be worn with a ribbon sash, but i don't think it adds anything.  See how in white you can barely distinguish the lace detail? And pure white looks really bad on lots of people.  Unless you are very tan or have very strong coloring (or wear a lot of make up) it can really wash a person out. 

New Essense of Australia dress which has a beautiful, Edwardian/Victorian feel to it. The ivory lace over the beige satin really shows all the delicate detail on the dress, and makes it look almost antique. This is new with tags, never worn except to be tried on.  Size 10, but more like an 8.  Strapless or spaghetti strap with a chapel train.  Crystal buttons down the back of this dress, and though the stock photo shows a sash, one is not included. A double-faced ribbon sash will cost one about $20 at a fabric store or online.  I don't think it needs one. Retail over $1000.00, but i am asking  $350.00  OBO. Message me for more pictures or details.

Augusta Jones two piece satin and alencon lace, trumpet skirt. Size 10 (4-8)






New with tags, Augusta Jones dress. Perfect condition and gorgeous.  The model wearing the dress is a size 2 on top with a 6 on the bottom and while the skirt fit perfectly, i made the top fit.   Due to the lacing the top can be let out to 3 sizes bigger, but not the skirt. One would have to have the skirt altered to make it any bigger than a 6 ish.  Really a beautifully made dress that would look lovely for an outdoor ceremony or on the beach.  Straps can easily be added or a shrug worn.  Retail price is over $1200, but asking $400 or best offer. 

Watters dress 3065B silk V neck Aline size 10 (8)




This Watters dress is new with tags.  It is silk with a silk organza/chiffon overlay on the skirt. The bodice is ivory satin with beading at the empire waist and neckline (front and back). The skirt is an Aline, and there is a chapel train. This dress was used as a sample, so there is a bit of hem dust which will come out with a cleaning. There were a few beads lost at the zipper edge which i have partially repaired. A friend looked at it and said it was not noticeable to her, but it is a very inexpensive fix by an alterations person.  I considered adding a sheer ribbon fly-away on either side to add more back interest any way, but again, that would cost $10. A very elegant dress, and the neckline is not plunging, so modesty is not really an issue.  Watters gowns start at $1500.  I am asking $325.00 or best offer.

Anne Barge 181 Size 2 -4



Here are some lovely pics of the Anne Barge dress. Sized 2-4, this dress was purchase for over $3000 and worn once. Other than some hem dust, and a tiny scuff on the trim (which, you cannot see without a magnifying glass), it is in pristine condition. hand embroidery and hand beading.   Is hemmed for someone under 5'6".   $350.00 or best offer. I have lots more pictures if you want to see them. Message me.

Well, even though i LOVE vintage stuff, and hope to get back to my project soon (squirrel!), i am going to use this blog for my new business venture.  I currently have several new or worn once wedding gowns for sale.  If you know anyone who is engaged or might be getting married soon, feel free to send them over to have a gander.  If you live anywhere locally i will be glad for you to have a try-on.
