Wowww Drappa, what an amazing haul! That red dress is stunning.

Tulip, your emerald gown is breathtaking; congratulations!

Tulip, that dress is gorgeous!

I just won this hat and coat set. I've been wanting one of these with the fur down the front for a while I love the pleating at the back and the wide lapels.

I bought the coolest doona cover today from the Op-Shop. It just screams feed sack!! So I had to then go and buy a pattern to turn it into a beautiful frock for the summer. I'll post pics once it's finished!

Hi ladies,
Some new purchases of mine.

Vintage handmade dress, vintage wool skirt, new sailor top, and Dr. Martens. ;0 The dress is a bit big, perhaps a belt will help!

Thanks ladies, can't wait for everything to arrive!
Kate, it is sooo hard to find a quilted skirt with a waist size bigger than 24" that I talked hubby into getting it for me for Christmas because I knew it would be gone soon. Hope you find another one you love soon!

And no sooner than you wrote that, I found one! It's not as lovely as the black and gold one I've been eyeing up (they only accept money transfers with Western U etc, so I'd have to pay a LOT of fees) but it was only £17 and it's a nice festive colour for Christmas ice skating! x

Another slip. I saved up money to get a dress from TopRunway, but didn't like it in the end so am on a bit of a shopping spree.

 

[amynbebes]

that sailor top is awesome (as are the docs). May I ask where you got the top?
Nevermind, got my answer Compliments still stand though!

my new dresses

this is the only shot so far of the dreses I purchased. I also thought the ladies here would get a real kick out of seeing them on the clothes line after being washed. I have yet to take proper photos of each dress seeing most need minor repairs and alterations first.

Oh, have I been drooling over those... I'd love to know how they fit!

I picked up some gorgeous stuff this month, but have yet to take pictures to post.

Annie,

What a great jacket! No doubt you will look fantastic in it.


Black Dahlia,

Love the plaid skirt. I am currently obsessed with checks and plaids and tweeds, must be the season. I wonder if "St. Mary's" is the same as the St. Mary's I see on those yummy vintage wool blankets?


Here's a Harris Tweed coat I pounced on. I'm not really sure of the time period, but the pockets made it too delish to pass up.
