80s Black & White Polka Dot Dress

I seriously miss this dress looking at the pictures ;~;

*Not sure if the seller is still selling, but it was purchased through eBay :3

Black 1950s Vintage Pleated Tulle Dress

I have a special treat for you ^.^  Yes, I know I had one last post xP but this is especially special because this dress was one of my bests~

3 Vintage Dress Find ^_^

So I know I haven't posted for the two days in keeping up with my month of cataloging my once upon a time collection, but I've got a very special treat for this particular occasion ^^


A few years ago, I happened to stop by Amvets; a particularly good thrift store for vintage finds *-*  And just my luck and fortune, I happened upon THREE perfectly good and lovely VINTAGE DRESSES *0*

Vintage 50s Green Dress

I happened across this through Etsy and thought it was spectacular for the price!

Vintage All-In-One Black Lace Merriwidow Corset

I use to own this great corset.  An amazing black lace merriwidow corset *-*  And back then probably, and in my opinion, should be a staple in a girl's closet.

A 1950's Wedding Dress

One dress I will have to say I miss is this lovely white chiffon 1950's wedding dress~

I bought this dress on auction through eBay, again, at a time when I just shopped like mad.  Seriously!  What was I gonna do with a wedding dress?! @_@  But it was beautiful, and vintage, and that's all that mattered to me *-*  And typically my fashion isn't biased, so you never know?  I might have dared to pull off a wedding dress some how for some reason xD


The seller, Capricorn Vintage, has happened to have amazing pieces on auction *.*  And bidding during these times for this dress was competitive.  It was before the economy went south, and the market for Vintage was actually really good.  You could easily make hundreds off of one gooood dress :)  So it was kinda sad for me when at the time I tried reselling them to make amends towards my finances, the market was already gone :(


Anyways, considering a wedding dress, the price wasn't that bad ^_^


It was gorgeous *~*  Soft white chiffon, pleated at the bust, a lovely bow in back with a train following behind it~  Often it reminds me of Audrey's wedding dress in Funny Face *-*

She had even included it with a little note on the dress :3  It was my very piece that had a story to it! >w< and I was grateful she was kind enough to include it <3

I actually have worn it once too! :D  To bad it was nothing really special :/  I just really wanted to wear it! xP  I wore it to a Halloween party; everyone asked me what I was and I didn't really have an answer, I just wanted to wear the dress xP  And nothing fun happened either :|  I pretty much stood there with my friend.


These are sad sad stories for these dresses >.> the only interesting part I can really tell is how I came to own them xP


I have been reselling much of my collection to make up for the spending I had done and started looking to these pieces; which were sure to bring in a decent amount of income :3  The reason I thought was simply because I didn't wear it :(  It honestly stayed nestled in a box :(  And that's really no way for an amazing vintage dress to live! D:  I felt pretty selfish keeping a vintage 50s wedding dress for no bride to have her dream fully come true with it.


A time came around when I needed to scrounge around money for a plane ticket for my Bunny for some desperately needed vacation time with his friends and true home here.  And the quickest way to make cash is reselling directly to resale shops; so I sold my vintage pieces to Wear It Again Sam.  I could have gotten more for it had I sold them online, but I needed the money right away...


I like to think that it has gone to a bride who was excited and relieved at finally finding her dream vintage wedding gown for sale :3  Maybe it'll make its way back to me for mine xP

The Sapphire Blue & Black Velvet Vintage 1950s Dress

To start of my closet posting, I will start out with a beautiful blue vintage piece I recently sold on eBay.

Dreaming of Dior: A Cataloging of My Collection

A good friend of mine of The Lost Lola lent me these books in thinking of me ^^
