This week it is time for some SERIOUS pieces of vintage: CC41, Horrockses, some of the BEST original 50s dresses you are likely to see, 40s suits AND the holy grail an Ossie Clark dress with Celia Birtwell print. It's a good week!!!

PLEASE NOTE: Due to now having started the masters (that i mention below) i am now very time poor and it may take me a few days to post parcels. Let me know if your parcel is urgent and I can try to send it quicker!!!

 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.

If you are interested in my collection visit [link removed by eBay] for more information or “like” my Advantage In Vintage page on facebook where I will also be putting up previews of some of the items coming up on ebay.

 

Please note: I have had a lot of parcels go missing recently which means all parcels will be sent 2nd class recorded delivery to try and combat this. If you need an item more quickly please ask and I can send 1st class recorded at an additional cost. If the item you are purchasing sells for over £100 the item will be sent special delivery so please wait for an invoice.
