-Vintage pink silk lined purple lace dress with side zip and wrap-around v-neck bodice. Bust = about 34", waist = about 30". It is faded across the arms from hanging on a rack exposed to the sun, but otherwise it is in gorgeous condition. I suspect with a careful hand and some sort of fabric paint or dye you could put it right. As such it is £30.
Detail shot of fading on sleeve - the purple lace has gone brown down the edge.
Detail shot of the lace on the skirt portion.
Detail shot of the bodice and lining.
- Vintage navy blue shirt dress with cream/blue dot cuffs, covered buttons up the front and two large hip pockets. Nice condition, a bit worn and could do with cleaning. Slightly faded across shoulders. Very sweet dress! Chest = approximately 34" (large sleeve holes so it's difficult to tell. The size is probably somewhat flexible because of that), waist = 30". £32
- Seriously gorgeous vintage silk brocade little black dress, very full skirt and nipped-in waist for someone with a great figure! Former BBC costume! There is a faded patch on the skirt and a little along the seams but it is still amazing. Chest = 36", waist = 26". £70
Here I am trying to wear it - it's too small for my waist so it's open at the back - the top would be more fitted than that if I could do it up!
The fading is on the bottom of the skirt - it is dark brown rather than black, but I think it can be easily fixed.
The rest of the fabric:
Detail shot of BBC costume department tag inside the dress.
- Size Medium teal silk dress with silver sequins and embroidery from Noa Noa. Worn a couple of times but still in very nice condition. £35
Here's the dress on me:
- 26" Voller's overbust corset in black and silver fabric. Only worn a few times. £38
The corset on. It's fairly small in the chest, just as a warning for those with larger chests.
- Black leather halter top (very LARP-friendly!) worn once, suitable for busty ladies as well as less busty (the saleswoman told me as you wear it it starts to re-shape to your body. £38
- Debenhams "Debut" black satin-esque fishtail skirt UK size 18, worn once. £25
- Vintage style leather satchel in turquoise (looks light blue indoors but looks slightly greener in sunlight, like a light teal). Handmade in Cambridge by the Cambridge Leather Satchel Co., embossed on the back with their logo. 14" wide x 11" deep, long shoulder strap. This is a discontinued colour. I have used it a bit so it is very lightly marked and the straps for the buckle closures are worn, but this makes them softer and easier to use. These bags last a long time and age very well. £55
This is a better shot of the colour:
The wear on the buckles:
- Jaquard effect slouch bag with crown patch. 17"x11". £12
A close-up of patch. I sewed this on and it's not beautifully sewn but it's secure.
- Reversible hat made from recycled silk neckties. Reverse colour is the same as the brim. £12
- TUK Size 6 UK (8 US) platform heels: barely worn, and haven't been worn out ever as far as I know. The white is still quite clean. Very cute and surprisingly easy to walk in! £32
- Debenhams "Collection" EU size 38 black patent court shoes with ankle strap. Worn a few times but still in good condition. £25
- Black elastic waist cinching belt with leather-effect lace-up front panel and snap closure at back. Size L. £5
- Badge shaped like a large black button. Very cute! £2 or free with purchase of another item! Just request it in the comments if you're buying something else.
