I’m calling this week think pink week, because up on offer this week are some of the most sensational garments all with hints of pink and lilac. It is a week of listing filled with feminine styles and prints. Think Horrockses esque florals, more Susan Small’s than you can shake a stick at and glorious cocktail and prom dresses! I’ve got a variety of periods up on offer as well with dresses and skirts from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Of course combined shipping on all these lovely items is offered too!

A little bit of background on me: I am an obsessive vintage collector and have amassed a huge collection of vintage from Victorian right through to the 1980s. I am about to embark on a rather pricey masters at the Royal College of Art (studying design history) and henceforth I am having to sell off large portions of my collection to fund my studies. Over the coming weeks I’ll be listing everything from glamorous 30s evening dresses, to novelty print 50s day dresses to 60s beaded shift dresses. I can’t believe myself quite how much I have amassed! I am also selling items from the collection of Naomi Thompson, including items that featured in her recent Style me Vintage: Clothes book.
