Fully lined mustard wool gabardine makes up this belted cape with large brass buckle. Made for Bullock's Wilshire, this is another piece that would make any outfit from jeans to skirts and dresses. Front closure with three mustard buttons and a snap at the neckline. The belt extends from the arm slits to the front where it closes with a brass buckle and snap.

Buttery soft cashmere in a lush loden green adds subtle color to winter wear. This coat bears the Jordan Marsh, Boston label in the neckline. Diagonal seaming details from shoulders to side seams provides a spot for set in pockets while hand stitching outlines the collar and front opening. No closure, meant to be worn as a clutch coat.

a gorgeous vintage coat dating to the late 30s or early 40s. It is thought to be Geoffroy Cat which is legal to sell. There are no labels. Fully lined in silk. This coat is single breasted and closes in the front with two hooks and loops. The loops are covered with crochet that has worn and you may want to replace or recover them. Sleeves are cuffed and there are set in pockets.

This interesting 1920s bodice is one of my favorite pieces. Made of a jersey knit in a beautiful and rich paisley pattern, this bodice wraps asymmetrically to close with snaps over the left hip where a swag falls to approximately mid-calf length and is trimmed with silk fringe. The belled sleeves and neckline are trimmed with pleated navy chiffon. Shoulders are dropped and seamed over the upper arm. The hip yoke is lined with navy silk.

This stylish lady was painted on ivory in the 1830's and remains in her original frame. She is truly lovely in her white cotton dress with full beret sleeves. The wide neckline is also typical of the period. She is coiffed for a special occasion with a high Apollo knot style and side curls.

Dating to the first quarter of the 19th Century, this work bag is worked in corded embroidery similar to trapunto. Made of fine cotton and linen. An amazing tribute to the fine needle skills of the maker!
