✨NEW LISTINGS✨ All three of these silk velvet dresses were homemade, which has always been a quality that makes me feel especially nostalgic. None are perfect but each holds its own special something that I adore:

✨1930’s black maxi dress, best fitting a M/LG
✨1930’s blue dress w/keyhole neck, best fitting a M/LG
✨1920/30’s chocolate brown maxi dress, best fitting a XS/S

More pretties coming up soon (wink, wink to those who had their eye on the baby blue robe in my last reel). 🫶🏼

🪄JUST LISTED✨ wrapping up the year with some very special gems, including these 4 beautiful 1930/40s gowns that range from an XS to an XL. All are in excellent condition and each has its own dash of decadence. More details in my stories and on Etsy at xoDaggersAndDames (link in bio). Have a great day loves! ✨💋

🪄All dresses have been listed, but I wanted to shine a spotlight on this beauty because I just can’t stand how sweet she is.✨ This lilac tulle crinoline dress (not convinced that this is an undergarment so I kind of made up the descriptor) has super fairy princess vibes, with pale pink tinsel threading that makes it sparkle like a gem. The ruffled straps and full skirt are just… 🤤. If you can’t tell, I’m smitten and slightly speechless over this one. Best fitting a size S with a 34 bust and 28 waist, closing up the side with a metal Talon zipper. Pair it with a slip or even wear it over a n**e bodysuit; it’s a dream. ✨

Available on Etsy at xoDaggersAndDames 🕊️

🪄NEWLY LISTED✨This very rare 1930/40’s posture corrector by Hickory comes with it’s original box. Created with the intention of tucking in the shoulder blades to prevent slouching, with 6 metal stays and fan corset lacing to provide support. Fully adjustable with pulley straps that secure with metal sliders and cotton loops. This unique garment is surprisingly comfortable (I had to see for myself, of course) and is an excellent piece to add to a vintage foundation collection.

More details available on Etsy at xoDaggersAndDames 🕊️✨

🪄These pretty gowns were listed late last night✨. The lilac one has sold (thank you lovely!) but the other two are still up for grabs! More to come later today, stay tuned! 💋

✨JUST LISTED✨ this 1920/30’s silk Japanese kimono is in SUPERB condition. Completely hand stitched with elaborate floral embroidery. A prized forbidden stitch and gold thread highlights give a special touch. This darling is fully lined in an icy blue tissue silk and closes with a 73 inch long fringe sash tie. A rare highly collectible gem that is perfectly suitable for wear.

💕Happy Tuesday you lovely loves! 💕 I’ve got a good mix coming up over the coming weeks, starting with a handful of silk relics from the 1920’s. None of these pieces are perfect, yet they all have so much potential.

Happy SUNday 🌞 beauties! I’m sitting here with my coffee listening to birds sing outside my window, reflecting on life, and thinking thoughts of gratitude. Normally at this time I’d be rushing around stressed over the time I don’t have for the things that make me feel full. I made the seemingly risky decision to cut back my ‘day job’ hours and so far it has been the best decision i’ve made this year. It’s allowed me to find balance and dedicate more time to all the things, including my shop 🧚🏼‍♀️. Life is a funny thing, sometimes forcing us to sacrifice certain things in order to maintain one thing or the other, and as I grow older I find myself realizing how important it is to make sure that a sense of freedom and the pursuit of happiness isn’t lost in those sacrifices. So I thought I’d pass my internal message on to you: remember to love and care for yourself, and don’t let go of the things that bring enrichment to your life.

💖

I’ve wrapped up a photo shoot of some lovely things that will be listed through the week. Thank you for sticking with me and have a gorgeous day!

My Friday vibe inspiration; Zorita, Queen of the Flashers. Known for being a bit more risqué in the burlesque world during the 40’s and 50’s.

Have a fierce and fabulous Friday my loves ✨🐍✨
