…..just those three short words conjure up elegance, sophistication and style. Ask any woman, “What is the one essential piece in your wardrobe?” - most will answer, “It’s my Little Black Dress!”

The fabulous Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel designed a version of the little black dress. American Vogue instantly heralded it as the “Ford” of dresses because - like Henry Ford’s “Model-T” car - it became an instant craze, was widely available and came in only one colour: BLACK.

“Fashion fades, only style remains the same.” - Coco Chanel

In 1947 Christian Dior launched the “New Look” collection - a more feminine silhouette using lots of fabric.

The next LBD craze came in 1961 with the release of Blake Edwards’ adaptation of Truman Capote’s book “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” starring Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly. Every elegant woman coveted the Little Black Dress designed for Hepburn by Hubert de Givenchy.

Capote originally wanted to cast Marilyn Monroe in the lead, but Hepburn’s style and grace showed off Givenchy’s creations to spectacular effect.

Audrey Hepburn’s LBD worn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s sold at a Christie’s auction in London for a staggering ₤467,200.

In 1993 Diana, Princess of Wales wore a Christina Stambolian LDB to a function at the Serpentine Gallery while Prince Charles publicly confessed to adultery.

At the 80th Oscars Nicole Kidman proved that all you need to look sensational is an LBD and bold accessory (it also helps to be dressed by Balenciaga).

“If you put a black dress on, you’re never inappropriate and you’re never out of style” - Nicole Miller

Now, Margueritte Couture design,fit and make your very own perfect Little Black Dress!

Editor’s note:
A vintage evening dress can have a personal style. Because when buying a vintage dress, you don’t only buy the fabric and yarn, you buy a piece of the past.
This is what we love in vintage clothing, their beautiful fabric and history.
Everything we sell is in perfect condition.
Also, we do major repairs and necessary retouch.
Each garment is washed or dry cleaned.
We offer new life to these clothes, and we are happy to restore them, when so many things in life can not be repaired.

Details:
This is a unique piece, created by an unknown designer in the early ’40s.
A real dream of ecru lace.
-A cross-shapely sheath dress to the knee before opening with a large wheel on the bottom decorated with two silk bows.
-The waist line is highlighted with a silk belt that closes in the back with a knot.The beautiful ecru lace is worn on a background of beige silk dress.
-Zipper on the side.
This dress has everything to seduce pettite figures and will turn the heads of all the guests.

Measurements/Size: Small French 36-38 USA 6-8
PLEASE GO BY MEASUREMENTS GIVEN BELOW.
Measurements are of the garment itself, not body measurements.
Modern sizing standards vary, and are different from vintage size
tags. Measure a garment of your own in the same manner: laid flat,
measured across front then doubled- to guage fit. Garments may
fit snug at max measure - please leave room for comfort.
Approx. measurements are:
-Bust: 34″ (85cm)

are not valid by today sizing standards.

Condition:

In good condition. A pea sized brown spot on the left side of the skirt. Three tiny grey smudges on the rear of the bodice. An orange pin dot on the front bodice (almost impossible to see). Little bit of marking on the satin at the underarms. A few tiny holes in the lining (not visible). Slightest hint of color variation on the satin. The bottom portion of the bow was tacked up… went to untaken it and realized that it is hiding a small tear in the bow underneath, so we have left it (tear is not visible this way and dress looks fine).

Please take note…

- VINTAGE clothes are NOT New Clothes…

- VINTAGE ITEMS ARE USED and are previously owned, worn, antique, old, etc., and have had a long and MYSTERIOUS past life by the time they come to us which we are not privy to.

- Also, we do major repairs and necessary retouch.

Please contact us with any questions you may have about the items, before bidding- we want you to have a pleasant buying experience!

THANKS SO MUCH!!!

!!! IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT VINTAGE!!!

Before leaving feedback:

- The condition of VINTAGE items is a subjective opinion

- I point out any major flaws I see, I may not list inside flaws if they are not seen and don’t effect the wear-ability of the item, trivial missed minor flaws do not constitute misrepresentation.
- Cleaning is usually left up to the new owner.

- I dry clean items or I wash them if they really need it. So please expect to have to clean or at least steam your item, as they will be wrinkled from shipping.

- Vintage items will not look new please expects them to look previously worn and owned, some more worn than others.
- The absence of a label in a garment does not necessarily mean item was homemade, regardless. Vintage labels may have been removed by original owner or the tag’s threads age and tag is lost, torn out, etc.

Please read entire ad and double check before buying if you are not familiar with the issues of Vintage.

This fall is all about legs, legs and more legs. There is no better way to show off toned legs than with a sleek pair of leggings.

The most important thing when picking out a pair is to pay attention to the fabric. Do not pass pantyhose off as leggings. Choose a quality, heavier material that will hide imperfections and will give your legs a smooth, flawless surface.

Leggings come in materials from denim to leather, so experiment to find the right pair for you. The design is in the details, too — zippers, buttons and lace are all popping up on leggings.

Not quite ready to bare all? Opt for a great pair of dark skinny denim. This allows you to feel a little more held in, while still maintaining the overall silhouette of a legging.

Tips on how to wear blazers and leggings:

Wear leggings like leggings. Even if they are leather or denim, you must still have some coverage of your waist and hips. Most boyfriend blazers will cover enough, but if opting for a shrunken blazer, be sure to pair it with a longer top.

Go for a full-length legging that comes down to your ankle. This creates a much longer line and is more flattering than cropped styles, which visually cut your leg in half.

Wear your legging-and-blazer outfit with “shooties” (cross between an ankle boot and a shoe) or boots to complete the look. Leggings are the perfect bottoms to tuck into boots because there is minimal bunching.

The term Halloween (also spelled Hallowe’en) is shortened from All Hallows’ Even – e’en is a shortening of even, which is the origin of the words “evening” and “eve”. This is ultimately derived from the Old English Eallra Hālgena ǣfen. It is now known as “Eve of” All Saints’ Day, which is November 1st.

In the 800s, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in accordance with the Florentine calendar. Although All Saints’ Day is now considered to occur one day after Halloween, the two holidays were once celebrated on the same day.
