Belt with Art Deco Buckle
Woven ribbon belt has an Art Deco metal buckle with a black finish. Stamped buckle measures just over 2.25 inches high by 2.5 inches wide (when closed). Metal does not attract a magnet. Slight wear to the buckle (see close-up); ribbon belt is in excellent condition. Ribbon does not stretch at all, so the previous owner pinned it (see scan) so it can be adjusted for different waist sizes. Belt measures 35.5 inches and can be adjusted to fit smaller waists. Ribbon is a lovely green pattern against black. No manufacturer's mark or label. Circa 1930s.
Buyer pays $3.50 for insured first class shipping/handling in the U.S. International customers, please contact me for rates.

Dress is lined in a fine net and has a very wide hem that is finished with hem tape. Beautiful quality! No labels. Measurements were taken with the dress lying flat. Please compare measurements to those of a dress that fits you well, not to your body measurements. Bust: 36 inches around. Waist: 26 inches. Hips: 36 inches.

Lovely Blue Beaded Vintage Top
Fully-lined sleeveless top has a jewel neckline and a full-length metal zipper in back. Bust and waist darts provide feminine shaping. Blouse comes only to about the waistline (measures about 18 1/2 inches in length) and has two short slits at the waist in front.
The front of the neckline is trimmed with pearlized glass beads and clear silver-lined round beads and bugle beads. These are NOT the common tiny "seed beads" that you usually find on beaded clothing; these beads are a bit larger and rounder than seed beads. The beaded design is three-dimensional in places, forming a raised floral design. The silver lining has darkened a bit over time, making the interior of the beads almost the color of hematite or marcasite. Despite the darkening, the beadwork is still very lovely.
There are no labels in this top. Please check the measurements carefully and compare them to a top or blouse that fits you. The bust measures 41 inches lying flat and pulled a little. The shoulder width is 18 1/4 inches. At the waist, it measure 36 inches. I believe this would be close to a size Large in today's sizing but please check measurements.
This wonderful vintage top is in very good condition. The medium-weight fabric feels like silk or a synthetic, although it is not smooth. The rich blue woven fabric has a slight texture and sheen. I was unable to find a thread to pull off to test for fabric content because this top is finished so thoroughly at all the seams and hems. The lining is a smooth synthetic. The color is best described as royal blue, although in some lights, it leans a little toward teal.

Boy and Girl with Flowers - Salt and Pepper Shakers - Japan
Both the boy and girl in this charming china couple are holding flowers. Very nice colors and pretty details. Both are marked JAPAN on the bottom. He stands 3 1/8 inches high, and she measures 2 5/8 inches. No chips or cracks, but his glaze is crazed. Hers isn't. I guess the men just don't hold up as well in the salt-and-pepper shaker world!

Vintage HONG KONG Beaded Sequined Top
The beadwork that was done in Hong Kong factories in the mid-twentieth century puts today's beaded clothing to shame. This top is a lined ivory-color knit material, covered with iridescent sequins (front and back!) with an elaborate 2-inch border around the deep V-neck and the bottom edge. The border is made up of silvertone sequins and bugle beads that are sewn on in a design with dimension - - the bugle beads stick out in inverted V's. The border design also has white pearlized beads, silver-lined clear beads, pink plastic oval beads, and rose rhinestones that are prong-set and raised above the rest of the design, surrounded by silvertone petals!
The top has a full-length nylon zipper in the back and a label that reads "LOVELY - Superb Workmanship by ARTS KNITTING FTY - P.O. Box 7004 KLN. Hong Kong" and a size label reads "38". When laid flat, the bust measures 39". Please compare this to a top you have that fits you. The length from shoulder to hem is 22 1/2 inches and the width of the shoulders is 16" (measured from the top of one armhole edge to the other).
This fabulous top is in very good condition. Unlike the lightweight silk blouses and dresses that are bead-embellished today, this top is made of knit fabric that is substantial enough to hold up to the weight of the beads and sequins. They just don't make 'em like this any more.
This top appears to "hang" a bit on my skinny little mannequin-form because it is a large size. Imagine it on you....with a satin skirt...
This top will be shipped by insured priority mail in the US, so the shipping charge will depend on your postal zone. Your cost for insured shipping will vary from $6.25 to $9.15 depending on where you live. For an exact shipping quote, please send me your zip code. International customers, please contact me for rates to ship to your country.

Vintage 60s Pink Jacquard Dress Rhinestone Buttons
Dusty pink jacquard weave in a medium, substantial weight – this fabric was a perfect choice for this dress! Circa 1960s, metal zipper in side. Sleeves are three-quarter or possibly seven-eighth length. Flattering, graceful princess seaming. Deep flounce at bottom. Well-made dress has no labels. I suspect it may be home-tailored, which would certainly make it one of a kind. Seams are not serged, nor are they pinked. Interfacing is a taffeta-like synthetic. Hem flounce is lined and the seam that attaches it to the dress is reinforced with hem tape. A gorgeous dress, a fabulous find! Measurements were taken with the dress lying flat, then doubled to figure the distance all the way around. Please compare measurements to those of a dress that fits you well, not to your body measurements. Bust: 36 inches around. Waist: 27 inches. Hips: 35.5 inches. Width from shoulder to shoulder: 16.5 inches. Sleeve length from shoulder to sleeve hem: 16 inches. Sleeve hems are finished with hem tape. Length from shoulder to hem: 41.25 inches.

Vintage Bobbie Brooks Sailor Shorts
These vintage Bobbie Brooks sailor-style shorts look as though they've never been worn! They fasten in the front with a buttoned panel. The back has a white lace-up tie that will allow for a little adjustment in the waist. No waistband - - darts in front and back. The shorts are a nice dark navy blue - - the scans look a little too purple. No fabric labels, but the material feels like a polyester/cotton blend.
These shorts are a vintage size 7 which is smaller than today's size 7. PLEASE check measurements and allow for some movement. I measured the shorts while they were lying flat. Waist: 23 to 24 inches, hips: 36 inches, inseam: 8 1/2 inches. Width of leg at hem: 8 3/4 inches (or 17 1/2 inches around). Perfect summer item for the vintage-chic girl who loves fun in the sun!

Faux Pearl Bracelet with Fancy Clasp
Two strands of knotted simulated pearls are joined with a push-in style silvertone clasp. Clasp has three simulated pearls accented with silvertone leaves and sparkling white rhinestones. Very nice quality, unsigned piece in very good condition. Bracelet measures 7 3/4 inches. The three "pearls" on the clasp appear to be slightly whiter than the ones that make up the bracelet. This small difference is less obvious under some lighting than under others and does not detract from the bracelet's beauty.
