Armoire

Come say hi! I’m doing a pop up in Gloucester, VA in historic Main Street inside York and Main. My theme is Spring Fairytale!

Mark your calendars!!! We will be hosting Gloucester dealers Armoire & for our May pop-up. I would really love a good turn-out for them, so please spread the word to your vintage loving friends and stop in!

🍄I had fun taking pictures with my husband yesterday. One lady said I looked like a garden fairy. I just needed wings. It honestly made me feel so good because the truth is I feel like a totally dork most days. With everything on Instagram becoming increasingly harder I realize I have to be in front of the camera more.

🍄I meet a young lady antiquing yesterday who was looking through vintage clothes and said people would say negative things if she wore that but she wanted to. I encouraged her to wear what makes her happy even if others don’t understand. It’s funny how we can be kind to others but not always ourselves. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the weekend. Have fun and be kind to yourself.

Custom made in the Philippines. The dress is made of chartreuse/green silk and gold lame details. It is lined in acetate. The one shoulder with the extra long sleeve is a show stopper! I’ve never seen one quite like it.

Good condition: A few very small moth holes. They are so small I am leaving them as is. This was re-dyed the same original color. There are some dye imperfections but they are very hard to find.
