The Whimsical Collection continues to shine at the Vintage Wardrobe this month! Yesterday new handmade creations were added to the November inventory!
Here the lovely Melissa is wearing a floral retro dress which she bought for herself from the Vintage Wardrobe! Doesn't it look stunning on her? Here it is paired with a lightweight taffeta 1860's inspired jacket and an antique brooch of a black swan. (Be sure to go check out the wonderful new holiday pins available now in the shop!) Also, the vintage velvet hand warmer is up on the shelf, so you might wanna go snatch that up before it's gone!
Now let me talk about these exciting new head toppers!
Above is a pic of the first one I created using lace, feathers, tan satiny material, pearl buttons and just my imagination for guidelines. You may not believe it but everything including the shoulder pad that I used for the body of the hat was indeed recycled! The white tule was once part of an old bridal veil from the 80's and the lace...once lingerie. But you'd never know it! Everything looks so new and well placed. This hat is something straight out of an Anne of Green Gables day dream. $30.00
This wool hat once had a small brim, but I deconstructed it and added the vintage detailing. Keeping in mind one of Scarlet's hats from Gone With The Wind, I re-imagined the flirting travel hats of the 1800's worn especially by the ladies in western films such as Maverick. $30.00
And this is my favorite...the beautiful satin, turquoise blue, side hat with gorgeous dangling beads. I might be keeping this one for myself folks, I just need to find the right dress to go with it. Material recycled from a lovely night dress, and I added some faux peals for design. Beads come from a vintage lamp shade - believe it or not!
Ah, yes...Red. I love wearing red so much, it truly is a fabulous color. This little head topper is the perfect facinator for your next holiday party! It will make any outfit you put on a show stopper! The best part about this marvelous hat is that it has a rare antique brooch attached to it that shines like a cluster of pomegranate jewel pods. Topped off with scarlet lace, vintage feathers and faux autumn leaves that will never lose their color, this hat will make your eyes pop and your friends smile. $18.00
Last but not least, the impressive "My Fairest Lady" head topper. Every Victorian lover cannot resist the feminine charm of pretty pink, and this bold and yet delicate hat is something that deserves to be displayed whenever it's not being worn. $20.00
