Happy New Year!

January: 90s-does-60s denim dress / February: 80s floral leggings / March: 90s grey tunic dress

 Happy New Year from Elly Maggy Vintage! I took a break from the shop over the Christmas holiday but I'll be ready to list new items over the next week or so. There are also a couple of shop announcements coming this month so I'll be posting details here. 

It's been great selling vintage over the past year and, although things have been pretty hectic with a changing work schedule and some time spent away, it's been very rewarding to hear from customers enjoying their new items of clothing. Here's a little round up of some of my favourite items which I shipped out over the course of 2013. I'm looking forward to finding more pieces in 2014!

May: 90s red rucksack / June: 90s embroidered tie blouse / July: 80s-does-20s gingham dress

August: 60s Oaxacan Mexican dress / September: 70s Jaeger maxi skirt / October: 70s chestnut brown knit

November: Chinese crochet knit top / December: Mid-century leather gloves & 60s Welsh tapestry coat

Twins

I've just added three new listings to the shop, including these very sweet twin day dresses! Made by 'Nilvira De Luxe' in the 50s, they are in lovely condition. They both have the same vivid leaf print - one in a bright azure blue and the other in earthy, autumnal tones.  


 It seems a shame for them to part after sixty years together so I am offering a discount to any lovely customer who would like to buy both at the same time! The brown is priced at £35 and the blue at £38 but the pair will be available at £60 - a great price for two 50s dresses in such nice condition! Leave me a comment, convo me on Etsy or email me at ellymaggy [at] gmail.com, if you are interested.
 

The third listing is another mid-century dress but a little more fancy in style. It has a beautiful, tailored collar and a very pretty rose print. Its design reminds me of the full-skirted shirt dresses Julianne Moore wears in Far from Heaven. Take a look in the shop for measurements and more information. These pieces are the first in a mini collection of fifties dresses that I've been gathering together for the shop. I'll be listing the remaining pieces soon but first I have some hand-washing and dry-cleaning to do! Hope you like the new pieces!
