1960s vintage pleated full slip in pale lilac

Pretty deep pleats to the hemline and delicate ivory lace adorn the crossover bust of this very pretty pale lilac 1960's full slip. The straps are non-adjustable, which is typical of slips from Europe. The fabric is a super soft nylon in a really lovely delicate pale lilac colour. So pretty, and an authentic 1960's classic from Germany

Coming to the Leamington Spa Vintage Wedding Fair

On our stand at the Leamington Spa Vintage Wedding Fair, this adorable peach dress.  I think its early 1950's, maybe a little earlier.  What do you think?


Unlined, handmade, no labels.

Lighning brand zipper with metal teeth.

I just love these 50s ads for Florida Fashions - oh, those prices!

Reslaw hats of London, W1

New in my collection is this lovely 1940's hat under the Reslaw label, by Paul Walser & Co Ltd of Great Marlborough Street, London W1.  Strange brand name?  Not really - it is 'Walser' spelled backwards!
