Marshall's Hand Tinting Kit and Book SOLD

Two piece Pant Suit

One more 1970's two piece pant suit that looks like a dress. I really think this is a cute style but have not seen anything like it in years. I would actually recommend this dress as more of a pattern for your own ideas as this dress does have a few issues. The top of the dress has a 50's feel but has a deep V in the back. The slit all the way up the front shows off a cute pair of black satin pants. The trim on the slit is embellished with pearls. This dress has been hanging in the closet since the 70's. Probably was worn a couple of times but there are some faded spots on the fabric. I have not measured but again a size 4 or size. The pants are small and look a bit short in length.

More Cruising

One more terrific dress worn on a cruise in the 1970's. A halter dress with a belted look around the waist. Zipper back. Full length. Again I need to get measurements but I would say it is probably a size six. Really cute wouldn't you say?

Crusing in the 1970's

This adorable dress was worn in the 70's for a cruise. It is a two piece long dress. The dress itself is a halter syle. The bolero jacket ties in the front. This dress will soon be listed on Etsy. I just need to get some measurements. I would say it is probably a size six.

Added Sue Halstenberg Print

This print is named "The Look of Love". She has not been listed on Etsy since she was done in 1995 and is not old enough to list. I still need to get her size information gathered but I thought I would share her. This print is not as big as the other prints. If interested in her, please send me a comment. This is not a numbered print but one of the few Victorian Ladies showing her face. I can not price the print until I get the measurements but it will not be as expensive as the other prints. Again if interested in more than one print I will ship the second and/or third print for free. 

Sue's work is incredible isn't it? Have you ever seen such detail in lace? 

Oil Skin Western Duster SOLD

Three quarter length duster made in New Zealand. I have had this coat since the mid 1980's and wore it maybe twice in the 1980's. This coat is made for weather. A lot of rain or snow. In California we just did not get a lot of rain or snow. The cotton inside feels like flannel it is so soft. And the coat is pretty weighty and very warm. It has snaps everywhere to keep the water from seeping in.

You can get an idea of all the snaps in this close up. To clean oil skin you use a damp sponge. No washing necesary.

You can put the collar up for keeping water out as well. Has a velcro closing.

Close up of collar.

The pocket is very protected against the weather as well.

I suppose the top is made like this so the rain just easily pours off of you. The snaps in the back are for riding. In the saddle you will need more of a slit.

Close up of the back flap.

Tag

Side view. I really like the cordory collar. I think it gives the coat a nicer look.

The bottom of the sleeve also snaps securily closed.

Not the prettiest shot ever but trying to show you the inside of the coat. The soft cotton and the way the bottom is at a V so not to get wet on the inside. I am sure when wet on the inside of a coat, it is not very warm or comfortable.

Care instructions.

Leather Jacket with Belt

This soft leather coat was bought in the late 80's or 90. Worn a few times it has been sitting in the closet for years. I have several pics showing as much of the coat as possible including the small spot on the leather. I don't know what that is or if it was there when we bought the coat. This leather is soft like butter. Has a full length zipper and a belt.
