Vintage Afghan Waistcoat
Beautiful Jewel Red Velvet waistcoat. The velvet is in great condition, the waistcoat is missing some of the mirror decorations, which I feel only adds to its charm. I love when a piece shows little signs of life here and there and this waistcoat has certainly lived some. It is estimated at 50-60 years old
Fabric: Velvet

Beautiful Handmade Dress
I really wish I knew the origin of this dress to share with you but unfortunately I don’t. But this is where the magic of vintage can take over and allows us to create our own story of where she may have come from, who made her, where did she wear it and what kind of life did the woman who owned here lead. This is a truly unique piece, so carefully made and embroidered. Very high quality fabric and beautiful designs of gold embroidery throughout, with very special details on the shoulders and floral designs on the sleeves.

I’m a size 12- Small 14. It fits very me well and would fit one size up from me too. Could also suit a smaller size as it is wasted in the middle so could be worn oversized with a belt. But please check your measurements as all sales are final.
This piece has some stains which are not hugely noticeable when worn as there is a lot of fabric, also it has some stitches at the bottom where it has been repaired in the past. See photos in post
