Hey All You Gals and Gal-Lovers,
Be advised that I am selling a great many items from my collection of antique women's clothing as I dearly need the X-tra moola to go toward a very sweet little "Lady Duff" item that I am pining away for & cannot afford otherwise! Also with moving and all, I really no longer have the space to store all these things.
I was going to sell thru eBay - and may yet - but I thought I would try and see if The ET Bunch here is interested in anything first. I am eager that these dear relics of fashion eras past, which have meant so much to me, find new homes where they will be loved and protected.
I will negotiate price privately with those interested in buying any of the articles listed below. I am not able to post images but I will try and describe them as thoroughly as possible. I assure you they are all authentic.
_________________________________________________
WEDDING GOWN, circa 1912-14:
Beaded ivory chiffon & satin brocade, empire waist, three-quarter sleeves, tapered, ankle-length "hobble skirt" with narrow train, weighted at end. Very good condition. Size: probably modern size 6. No label in tact but VERY Lucilesque in style. Would like $50 for this (a HUGE discount I promise you).
SKIRT, circa 1910-12:
Black crepe, straight-line skirt, with button & fringe trim. Waist: about 21 inches. Very good condition. Manufacturer's label in tact. $20?
SKIRT, circa 1908-10:
Pale blue cotton, moderately full, summer skirt with detachable blue & white floral-printed, pannier-style tunic. Skirt has slight train. Waist: about 18 inches. Good condition. $15?
AFTERNOON GOWN, circa 1915-17:
Black taffeta, 2 piece dress consisting of short-waisted blouse fastening at side with tiny bead buttons and very full, gathered skirt reaching to below-calf length. Size: about modern size 14. Good condition. $30?
STREET DRESS, circa 1920-22:
Greyish blue mid-calf length, wool-crepe dress, trimmed with self-covered buttons & black and white Oriental-style embroidery, with floating side panels, drop waist, square-necked lace collar, & three-quarter flared sleeves (lined in grey satin). Size: about modern size 12. Fair condition. $20?
SHOES, circa 1920s:
Pair of black silk ladies' pumps with instep straps. Size: about modern size 4-5. Fair condition. About $10?
_________________________________________________
I also have a Spring 1911 ladies' cloak and suit catalog, about 30 pages, with beautifully illustrated front and back covers in full color. Book also carries blouse and lingerie styles and lots of great big hats. About $15?
I have a few 1914 and 1915 "Vogue" magazines. About $10 each?
Also 2 "Photoplay" magazines from 1915 (Mary Pickford on cover) and 1917 (Billie Burke on cover). $10 each?
There are a few more things I will be getting out today to see if I can stand to part with them and if so I'll post more later.
Feel free to contact me at [email protected].
Best to all,
Randy
