Pin up girl dress for sale!

I've just been reading posts on the blog wishwishwish.net and wow, the photos...the effort, this is only my second post! I can partly but not exactly blame this on a little family holiday to the historic and rainy Berwick upon tweed. While there i picked up a few vintage peices that im putting up for sale on ebay, please have gander on Swan Vintage ebay !

This first item is a gorgous navy pin up girl, wiggle/pencil dress. The buttons are all engraved with a lions face wich is a lovley little detail. The belt is removable and made from the same fabric as the dress (I will just go and read the label to see what this mystery fabric is...) 100% polyester and is lined with acetate. The label only says 'together' so i presume this to be the brand, just googled it and quite a few vintage 'together' dresses came up so there you go! About the size... well i am a size 10, when bought the dress was said to be size 'medium' and i must say this sums it up as my mam (size 14) tried it on, and it fitted well. So from 10 to 14 is the size limit.

Just look at this lovley back detail! Cut out pannels are so modern that i was fooled to for a moment think it was a modern remake!

Just a non essential face shot, the head tie shown is also a vintage peice that is going up for sale. Right, ive finished the ebay listing here goes the link: lovley link for a lovley dress
Now i have my lovley horse from father ted stuck in my head! i want to shower you with sugar lumps and take you to the horse...dentist....my lovley horse my lovley horse!



To conclude i must make an admission, i have about five times tried to add a pictues of some burgers on our bbq. The dedication has failed and a little white box with a red cross comes up. who told the computer about my new healthy eating regime?! (which wont last till after ive posted this and decided what to make for dinner). Another thing: from the start of this post ive been wondering what that awful biscuity smell is, its been making me sick. Its a choclate digestive. Glad thats sorted out. Thankyou and goodbye!

 

 

Ps. for anyone who thought 'what the hell' when i mentioned my lovley horse: My lovley horse <

 

oh...the burgers decided to make an appearance!

Hello

I'm a little out of my depth trying to make a blog, the site is confusing me and the amount of options leaving me slightly wary of what I'm doing. Anyway, this is my first post and so I should introduce myself and what I plan to do. I'm an English literature and Creative writing student with an interest in vintage fashion (especially 50s/60s) and music. So I intend to write about these things and other topical issues and personal (but publishable) dramas. Along my way I will be putting up vintage items i find for sale, as my cupboard is already bursting at the seams... (my clothes jump out to say hello when i open it). And as many say, waste not want not and all that.

The following video is a track by Muddy Waters called 'I can't be satisfied'. I thought I'd post it because I feel music was better and had more soul when it came from the heart and a working hand. Looks sell these days, artists don't have to be amazing singers or writers. I think it just shows what a plastic image focused world we live in. So make yourself a cuppa, peel your ears and listen to something from somewhere that counts.
