Warm Thoughts

The temps are at an all time low here in Chicago, -14º to be exact with a -42º windchill. So I am cooped up inside cuddling with my man and my kitties. Trying to stay warm, I thought why not post the beauties in the shop currently that make me feel all warm inside:) 

What do you fancy the most?? 

30s & 40s printed rayons? 

1940s Accessories?

40s & 40s Day Dresses?

 Or is it Formals and Party Dresses?

I can't decide what I love more. How about you? 

Stacks

One day I was cleaning and organizing my showroom and came upon that certain basket. You know the one. The one you avoid everyday. The task basket, full of repairs, dresses that need restitching, loose buttons, you know the usual. Well instead of hanging on to these "never going to happen" garments, I decided to let them go and have you all do the work. Let them go for dirt cheap for a chance to see daylight! So I began listing them on my Dethrose Vintage Facebook Page and well, y'all ate them right up! I have a big pile and I am slowly but surely lessening the stack! 

All of these garments range from, damaged beyond repair but might make a lovely art piece or study piece, to one's that just need a soak and a stitch!  Decades ranging from the 30s-60s. Silks, rayons, and cottons! All sizes too! Oh, and SHOES!

So if you're not already a fan of Dethrose Vintage on Facebook, maybe you should be;)

Here are just a few in the shop right now!

Vintage Overtime

This past week was a busy one! Traveling and buying for the shop,working 14 hours a day. Honestly though, if I could be that kind of busy everyday I wouldn't mind the chaos! I have a ton more to do but I couldn't wait to show ya the goods. 

 
As I was unpacking I realized just how much I found. My only problem...figuring out what to keep;)
Here are just a few of my favorites:

Now I can't really sew but I am contemplating keeping these 1930s & 1940s dress patterns. The illustrations alone are great.
