1970s warm pink maxi dress. No tags. Nylon zip up the back. Material is very lightweight and has the texture of silk/satin, but I’m unsure of the actual fabric content. True color is best shown in photo two.

No flaws to note other than the wear to the faux pearl buttons at the back of the neck.

Early WWII era field trousers. All flaws are visible. Stained and thrashed but sturdy and wearable. I hate to let these go but I’ve got some hefty bills coming my way soon.

Oddly they have no stamps or tags other than the 6670 C stamped on one pocket liner. However, I’ve had three militaria collectors identify them as M43 field trousers, and they came from the home of a man who served in WWII.

Amazing 1970s flare jeans with genuine leather accents. These were salvaged from a vacant home I’ve been helping to clean out. They were incredibly dirty so I tossed them in the wash and hung them to dry. Pricing gently due to condition.

Leather is slightly stiff but not brittle or breaking. Zipper is weathered but fully functional. Denim is soft and strong. Some scattered stains and wear throughout. Marks in leather at waist from a clip hanger. Material has no stretch.

1960s homemade orange and white gingham print dress with faux button detail, light green and white tatted lace trimming, and metal zipper down back. Some stress to seams at shoulder level on back (pictured). Buttons have faded a bit in the center. No other flaws to note. True color is a peachy orange.

Would recommend this for someone slightly smaller than the measurements below.

It’s finally time to let this beauty go. One of my early 40s dream dresses. Warm rosy pink, green, yellow, mauve and black plaid with rich black velvet. Button side closure. Sweetheart neckline, ruched sleeves and bust.

Overall fabulous condition for her age with only minor flaws, but should be worn with care. Fabric has no stretch whatsoever. One armpit has been mended, as well as a spot or two around the closures. Top of side opening needs reinforcement. I can take care of that myself if she sells, before sending her off to her new home.

1960s homemade salmon pink dress with red and green ditsy floral pattern and red stitching. Unsure of material, feels like a poly blend. Metal zip up the back. Only flaw I’ve found (besides the wonky hem, if you consider that a flaw of a homemade garment) is the roughly 1” section of stitching that has come loose, as shown. True color is shown in photos 1 and 2.

Super rad c.1950s *child’s size* Beacon camp blanket robe. If I had my dream home with an auxiliary building I could use to organize my collection, this would be on permanent display. But alas, I live in a one bedroom apartment and need to rehome some special things.

Robe is missing it’s belt and has some fading on the arms and shoulders. Some wear relative to its age. Overall a really neat garment.

1970s homemade navy blue corduroy skirt. Side button and nylon zip closure. Lightweight, feels like 100% cotton. No flaws to note. I’m bummed this one doesn’t fit me, but at least that makes it a little easier to let it go to someone who can enjoy it as it was made, without alterations!

1970s Rocking K Ranchwear by Kennington pearl snap western shirt in varying shades of brown and grey. True colors best represented in photo two. A handful of snags in the fabric, which are difficult to see without close inspection, and a very small seam separation at the top of one breast pocket are the only flaws to note.
