The Whimsical Wardrobe: Fairy Crowns, Steampunk Corsets and Nerdy Hats

Hello beautiful people! Today I am going to be sharing a little bit about the charming and magical "Whimsical Collection" at the Vintage Wardrobe!

It's that time of year that ignites our imagination and gets our spirits stirring, and with that I am proud to present some HANDMADE costume accessories that will excite the child within us all.

Pictured above is  one of the unique hand-crafted 'Celtic Fairy Crowns' available now in the Vintage Wardrobe. This particular crown won't last long on the rack, with it's intricate copper wire twists, blue beads, and faux pears. In the back of the adjustable crown trails some lovely ribbons, just the perfect "whimsical touch" to complete a one of a kind headpiece. $18.00

Laura is wearing one of the latest arrivals in these photos; a dreamy white lace gown, with sleeves straight out of a renaissance court. She could easily pass off as the enchanting ghost of Juliet, reappearing on the streets of Verona to meet her beloved Romeo (After all, can death truly conquer true love?) Whether you would like to wear this dress to a costume party, a Renaissance Fair, or to your own wedding day, it's not something you'll ever want to part with.

Made in the 1970's, and in pristine condition, this gown comes with a full white petticoat, and can be paired with just a bra, or a tank top for more coverage. Purchase one of the fantastic necklaces in the Vintage Wardrobe to wear with it, and you are ready to make an unforgettable entrance. Size M/L $55

 

I sure do love these fairy tale crowns, this one looks fabulous with the 1960's pink chiffon gown, with it's light breezy material and lacy edged details. I threw on a cardigan just for some warmth in this pic, but you may want to pair this dress with something a bit more fancy, such as a white cape, or velvet cowl. Size XS $25

A few other new arrivals to the Vintage Wardrobe are the reversible lavender corset/vest. It's like nothing you've ever seen, with an adjustable halter neck, and a Velcro back for easy "on and off". The vest has steampunk detailing, and is a one of a kind piece of artwork that you can wear. This piece is something you'll want to show off to your friends, and wear all year round over dresses and blouses with billowy sleeves. It is displayed here over a black velvet dress from the 1980's that would be a great buy for a holiday party. Corset Vest Size S/M $45.00, Velvet Dress Size M $25

Also be sure to check out the wonderful KNERDY KNITS while at the Vintage Wardrobe in the Art Room in Franklin. The Dr. Who Inspired Scarfs have returned, as have the crochet hats that are inspired by different TV shows and movies. Some of my favorites are the Batman mask hat for adults $25.00, Rey's Goggle hat with detachable knit goggles $25.00 AND the new Tangled inspired 'Rapunzel Hair Hat'. Just look at all those beautiful flowers! What a splendid Christmas gift this would make for the little girly girl in your life. Size 6-8 $35.00
