THRIFT HAUL // Vintage Style Finds for Early Fall

[@robbiecrafter]

Actually, if a vintage dress is not wearable anymore due to deterioration, I think that using it for a pattern IS a way to preserve it.

[@Marialla.]

Yes! And I'd say copying a homemade dress as a pattern for a new dress is a way to honor the creativity of the home seamstress who created the first one! I can just hear her blushing to think the dress she made was so loved that even after it was ruined it was still too good to lose!

[@hazelgeno]

As an aspiring 1940’s career woman pirate, I say take apart those old vintage clothes and make them into patterns!

[@calendulaofficinalis7303]

Aye, I will second that!

[@uniquelymadison]

I think the studded top works well for a 40's look. Maybe paired with a long floor length skirt to give off a goth Carmen Miranda type look?

[@Lamdennison]

Yes! I was thinking a 1950s hostess skirt (perhaps pants set). They have super high waists and a lot of sassy style.

[@knitbelove]

I think it would fit best over a dress (maybe a sundress) if you're aiming to cover the tummy

[@TheClosetHistorian]

I love the idea of a draped long jersey Grecian sorta style 40's skirt for that look! Excellent idea!

[@Celcey24]

I would definitely be interested in seeing how you'd take apart a dress and use it to make a pattern. And that velvet dress looks super bomb!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@shawneelechliter2564]

I second Celcey24's comment. I have a fun dress from college that is finally falling apart that I would love to make a replica of! But am afraid to take it apart and not sure how to make a pattern of it. :-)

[@graceanne596]

If you do end up making a pattern from the dress, I would love to see the process.

[@hollybauer7123]

I second this

[@ravenhamilton5862]

Please do a hair tutorial for this look! SO GORGEOUS.

[@elizabethross6895]

AGREE!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Ah thanks! I feel like it was totally misbehaving, and I was fighting with it, so I'm not sure how to achieve this exact style again, its mostly just a pageboy-ish style though, with side combs like I do in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roCapJSZZqyca5o

[@yuhuie]

The white wrap top makes you resemble a dark haired Marilyn Monroe

[@lasagnalass4255]

+

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! It is rather a classic style for sure!

[@ayeshaw.oliver3197]

The studded top looks beautiful on you

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Ayesha!

[@breebird33]

I audibly gasped at the yellow bow blouse... it's so GOOD!!! What a find!

[@Mooserinde]

Me too! I love a silk blouse find at the thrift store. I've found a few and they always end up being my favourite finds (except for my lovely old lady style wool coats)

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! I am so pleased to have found it! :)

[@daisyd90]

I love the studded blouse with the pencil skirt!!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@PolyvoreThea]

More Goth Pin Up at the office! That broken red print bow front top! It is starting to be a sub genre look for you! Goth Mad Men? There must be a term..... then to our astonishment - Goth camo! With Bambi’s parents! And please try the studded top over a pumpkin color dress! It would be very Pinup witch! And then another gasp: career pirate! You are so cool!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! I wouldn't mind being a pirate witch pin up secretary so it all works out ;)

[@PolyvoreThea]

If anyone can, you can!

[@steven_ryan]

Oh my god, both the red and mustard tie-neck blouses are STUH-ning on you! I can’t even

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! I feel luck to have found them :)

[@darnelleechols8556]

The cropped black studded top looks beautiful on you. I think it's great that it makes you feel powerful.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@NicoleCino]

That green deer skirt, gorgeous. And that studded top, you ca 100% pull off. And that last dress. Omigod. Obsessed.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Nicole!

[@ah-nononoo]

I used to try to mend vintage that was falling apart! Now that I have too many abandoned projects, I tend to leave them behind. Antiques I used to want to keep as study pieces, but omg... they pile up. I LOVE your sentiment. I mean, people used to use and reuse, and pass down until things fell apart. Like why not? We know more about historical fashion than ever. Things come and go.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

I try not to bring home too many project pieces for this reason! They do pile up fast!

[@johannakerns2107]

The studded top looked great! I think some high waisted evening pants would look great and very vintage with the top. I also think putting it over the right dress could give it a 1930s vibe, which I would love. I hope you enjoy wearing it!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Johanna!

[@racheljay8664]

"If you can buy any power for $3.50 you should take it." -something a Slytherin would say. 😂

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Ha! So true ;)

[@hollyhrywnak2478]

Oh my word!!! That black cropped shirt is stunning!!! What a find!!

[@LeOhio817]

It is great.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@rebeccaturner8340]

On those khaki slacks? I'd go Katherine Hepburn with it I think. Brogues or menswear inspired block heels? Wingtips in brown even? Gorgeous as always! 😁 Edit: that last dress is like Morticia Addams went swing dancing and I'm here for it.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Holly! I'd love some wingtips, I don't have any currently!

[@carolhardy3273]

You could wear that studded top with a black circle skirt to go to a Latin Dance Club! The velvet bow can come off and live attached to a plain black clutch or a wired frame for a matching fascinator.

[@carolhardy3273]

or pedal pushers with the top and a aberet for a poetry night.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

I mean...I can't dance, but I could perhaps watch others dance I suppose! ;)

[@bluecottonbykammy7199]

The red poly shirt was my favorite. But then I saw the velvet vest! Love, love the vest!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@tracieeaton1082]

I loved the cropped studded top on you. I would like to see you draw up a pattern from the black dress and the velvet dress looked very similar to one I owned in the 80's. Great thrift haul, thanks for sharing.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Tracie!

[@raraavis7782]

You have such an eye for clothes. 👏👏👏 I would definitely wear that dress and then use it for a pattern. But that’s me...I don’t have that automatic reverence for everything vintage. If it’s not wearable anymore and not a rare specimen, that needs to be preserved at all cost...what else are you going to do with it? It doesn’t help anyone, if it just hangs in your close, unworn, for another 50 years.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Rara! I quite agree, usually I lean more on the preservation side of things, but 50's dresses of this type are not rare in the same way, say and Edwardian dress would be, and it's no Dior ha!

[@greyjustice915]

Loved the entire haul, but my favorite was the studded top! As a Slytherin myself, I think it would be amazing in your Slytherin lookbook!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! I have so many looks planned that it might not even make it in...is it bad if it's quite long ;)

[@belfrykat]

i vote YES! to making a pattern of the black, 50s dress!!!!

[@bridgetthewench]

My first thought seeing the studded top was "oooh, Selena!" It’s gorgeous with that skirt, the just a hint of skin look is a fun one!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Bridget!

[@zrinchyy]

Everything you picked is great, but damn that last dress is beautiful 💖💖

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@hazelgeno]

Cat tied up for sale in a window!!! 😂Love your sense of humor! How about brown oxfords with the tan pants?

[@hellokittylikeskaga]

I love the 40's look of the studded top you bought I think it would look cute with like a studded evening bag and some studded heels I also would love to see you use your 50's dress you found that as a pattern I love seeing people put vintage things that are falling apart to good use like that

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@mleolahi80]

That cropped studded top is divine on you gal!! Reminds me of something Dita Von Teese would wear 👌🏽 Always love your haul videos & especially the show & tell part!!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Mel!

[@yuhuie]

I would love to see you make a pattern from the black dress

[@evilrose412]

" If you can buy any power for 3.5 " hahahhahha yeah, i'd take it too! And the pirate career woman, dear lord, u've made my day haha ps. YES to pattern from old clothes, i'm doing same, it's always a good idea. And if i would not make crop top work, i'd add some fabric to that and made it into full length evening gown.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! I think with a full length evening skirt it would be fun! I'll have to procure one...

[@xmas74]

I think I had that black velvet dress with the bow. I wore something very similar in my senior head and shoulders photo for the yearbook.

[@brokeschlo8274]

Pulling apart vintage home-made/vintage in general.. i'm personally okay with it.. and the respect for fashion they had then, is the respect we're trying to show for the things that THEY made NOW.. I think it gives the ability to preserve it, not to be gruesome.. but a pretty dress in lesser hands will get worn and tossed.. by pulling it apart you preserve the history and beauty of the decade for a minimum of until you pass on :) which is more curation, even if at home, than just losing it all to be left with a picture here or there or a museum.. so i like the idea

[@MissDFitz]

^ this

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you for the support! It's not a Dior right...so like ehhh

[@brokeschlo8274]

@@TheClosetHistorian quick question: chalk recommendations?.. i'm having issues not finding any soft enough

[@darnelleechols8556]

I love animal prints! Love the wrap top and the yellow silk blouse. All smiles for the pumpkin decorated set and the smooth smokey jazz theme.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Darnelle!

[@susangannon5621]

Great finds! Would love to see you take the acetate dress apart for a pattern. I imagine whoever made it would appreciate this pragmatic approach. Love all the clothes on you, you definitely can pull off the crop studded top. But I think the shape and style of the acetate dress is perfect on you.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Susan!

[@nancymandle5215]

Love your finds! Love your videos! Your commentary is always delightful and hilarious. Would very much be interested in seeing how to deconstruct a garment to make a pattern.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Nancy!

[@chaeburger]

Please let me know when you get that Etsy shop open so I can go ahead and just give you my bank account creditials. I won't be needing them anymore lol.

[@victoriaphillips9296]

It's open already.

[@k1tkat-kate]

😂

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Soon! I have to photograph and measure all the stock I've been buying. I've been trying to get a variety of sizes and wash everything properly before I make everything available ;)

[@WHOA54]

You are so freaking adorable & have such an amazing style, I'm loving your videos🤗 I would go with pointed toe, or peep toe heels with the tan pants:)

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@oliviapadgett6621]

It wasn’t a thrift store but I found a Peggy hunt velvet wiggle dress that fits me perfectly for $45

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Amazing! Good score!

[@sugarstardust0]

your hair looks so extra beautiful this video!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Katie! It always gets so messed up during my little try on sessions ha!

[@pamjournalcreate]

Love all the pieces you showed today and they look gorgeous on you but that studded crop top looks AMAZING on you!!!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Pamela!

[@shawneelechliter2564]

I have found so many beautiful homemade vintage items over the years. And I think that when they are too damaged that having the ability to make a pattern from them is a fabulous idea.... My best two thrift finds over the past weeks have been 1. 1960's house dress 2. This fabulous 1950s maybe 1960s dress jacket thing that i am having a hard time dating since it is handmade

[@TheClosetHistorian]

I need to make some house dresses myself, perhaps a project for next year though, as my sewing schedule is already quite full! ;)

[@seestellysew8472]

Yes, you’re working the studded crop top. I love velvet also, I have a green and a purple stretch velvet fabrics, I’m planning to make into fall dresses. I also loved the tapestry skirt. Your thrift shop have such nice clothes. Bow tie blouses give me life. I’d love to see the video of you turning the black dress into a pattern once you can’t wear it any longer. Just a thought, on the bare spots and pinholes. Maybe you can cover it with some decorative trim. I’d also love watching a video on what you might come up with to preserve the little black dress for a little long.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Estelle! Part of the issue with the acetate dress too is that acetate just isn't very comfortable to wear, but the same style in a wool twill or cotton sateen would be much more comfy ha!

[@seestellysew8472]

So true. I’m looking forward to your video of making the pattern for this dress, also your sewing of it.

[@rodentary]

The leopard shirt made me think of a safari outfit. Like on safari in the jungle.

[@austenweathersby7027]

LOVE the bow blouse!

[@violetsidhe]

Giving me all the autumn feels even though it is spring for. Thanks for a great video. I like that you are trying new things

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Renata!

[@danielspencer1829]

Easy dressing trick to keep makeup and hair together while dressing. Use one of your Silk or sheer crepe scarves as a hood. Pull the dress over and VOILA! hair is neat and makeup saved. Of course lipstick after dressing.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

I feel like I am still too clumsy to make this work, in reality I have no grace ha!

[@caeliebutler3674]

I would love to see a video of making the vintage dress into a pattern! I have a number of vintage pieces which are on the verge of no longer being wearable, and I'd be very interested to see what can be done with something like that :)

[@usainengland]

I love a slide seam zipper! I have mobility issues and do not even look at garments with back zips. I think it depends on your shape a bit. But I have found that laying down to zip makes it easier. Really good channel!

[@emrysziegler7354]

Ankle boots and loafers are great for “peg-leg” pants!

[@shirleydrake1602]

OMG, I love your hair today. You look so classy.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@amyjo7105]

My best find recently was a 1950’s faux fur (furrage brand) coat, retail at $200+, purchased for $36!!! It’s beautiful!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Nice! I am impatiently waiting for my local thrift shops to put out the coats as they haven't yet!

[@kaiakakos]

Lovely as always! That black dress is so beautiful. I take a lot of inspiration on your style...hope you don't mind!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! I don't mind at all, I am honored

[@swoonscapades]

• That studded, cropped "clubbing" top looked so glamorous on you, especially with the way you styled it with the pencil skirt, so I think you totally made that work! • Yes to the dress being turned into a pattern! It's just so beautiful I'd love to see a video of you turning it into a pattern. But only after you've gotten as much wears as possible, of course 💓 If a true vintage is falling apart, I feel like taking it apart and making a pattern out of it is (in a strange way) preserving it. Especially since they don't make clothes like that anymore so it'd be a shame to let a chance at a pattern go to waste. The garment might be on it's death bed, but a pattern would keep it's memory alive 😅 wow that was such a weird way to put it, I'm so sorry BUT YES TO THE PATTERN VIDEO PLEASE. • That velvet dress, I'm dying inside because it's so beautiful and I can't have it 💔 But I'm super excited to see your alterations because that's exactly what I would done to it as well. I feel like you asked more questions but I can't recall them now.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you J! I'll be including the velvet dress fixes in a future thrift flip video for sure!

[@averyt9600]

I loved this, that velvet vest is so smart! Personally, I love restoring and saving any vintage piece I can, but if it becomes unwearable or fragile a garment becomes far game for pattern drafting.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Avery!

[@rebekkawacherhausenwichman236]

What a great haul! So many great thrift finds 😊👍 When a vintage garment is come undone I usually try to fix it, but if the fabric is generally worn out beyond repair I think it’s perfectly fine to use it to bring new things to life 🌱 So you guessed right - I would love to se how you make the dress into a pattern!!!! 😍😍😍😍 looking forward to seeing the velvet dress transformation as well!!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Rebekka!

[@essencebeasley6524]

I think your thrift stores are just better than mine.

[@christinevr7698]

Essence Beasley agreed! My thrift store has the odd good find but never those rock bottom prices. A nice silk blouse at my thrift store will run to 10$

[@TheClosetHistorian]

I am a very lucky gal!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Irene!

[@carolannvincent5312]

Absolutely love your hair and makeup in this video even more than usual! I think you’re quite right with the 50’s dress. Wear it as long as you can then take a pattern from it. Also I would love to see a video on taking a pattern from an old worn garment.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Carol Ann!

[@lisahollowell5717]

You make everything look so amazing! Wow that studded blouse is great! I love your sense of humor and appreciate your videos.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Lisa!

[@queenofheartslandofjoy8068]

I really like the mustard yellow silk blouse. Look great on you. I think wearing the dress and then making a pattern is fine. You're keeping the style.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@lilpinkbear]

What a haul, love some Autumnal looks! I wear trousers with a slight peg leg with high boots like you mentioned but I sometimes also cuff them and wear them with flats, loafers or brogues. I'm looking forward to the gothy/witchy lookbook. With regards to vintage items that have seen better days, I'm happy to take them apart to make a pattern if they are beyond repair. I did this with a gorgeous home made 50s cocktail dress that got terribly moth eaten in storage. It was sad to take someone's loving work apart but I had gotten a lot of wear out of it and then it got to live on it a new iteration. Also, taking the bits of fabric that are not ruined to make small things out of (little pouches, textile art, cushions etc) is a nice way to help the garment live on as it were (and it's eco friendly too). That Laura Ashley dress is gorgeous....and yeah, I totally struggle with side zips.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Kelly! Darn those moths! I live in fear of them, though it's not common here in Colorado luckily since we have a dry climate, which apparently is not good for them? I'm still afraid!

[@elizabethharber9448]

Just reworked a formal dress I love, but could no longer fit into. So, yes, definitely use the black dress as a pattern if you feel led in that direction. Useable is always better.

[@tikimama1139]

That plaid skirt (that you paired with the mustard shirt) is a delight. I know you were maybe planning an a-line skirt tutorial I hope it is that one!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@Tobyandco]

Oh, the mustard bow blouse is also E V E R Y T H I N G

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Ha! I am so happy I found it!

[@rachelfloyd5865]

Love the cropped black studded top with the high waist pencil skirt!

[@JoanHolloway1931]

You’re making it work ☺️ I find it amazing that you can take such modern things and make it so vintage and sophisticated

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@WithLoveKristina]

I think those khaki peg leg trousers would look amazing with calf or knee high lace up boots in a sort of safari style!

[@WithLoveKristina]

Lol oops I commented right before you got to the part where you said boots 😂😂😂

[@maroulio2067]

Totally young Elisabeth Taylor in the white wrap shirt with both the slim pants and the pencil skirt. You look gorgeous. The red poly shirt is also great on you with the red lipstick. I agree about the cotton shirts being a year 'round wardrobe item. Studded shirt and black vest also work. I am currently liking vests. Black '50's dress is wonderful- making a pattern is smart and would make an interesting video. The last 'princess' dress is a keeper, especially w/out the bow. Best find recently: black leather pencil skirt.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! I'd love to find a black leather pencil skirt! I have trouble finding one long enough as I like a more midi length

[@lasagnalass4255]

Another great set with the pumpkins! Im super excited for fall as well, and this vid has given me some great outfit ideas!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@elizabethross6895]

Oh yes, please show us how to make a pattern from a deconstructed dress!

[@sunshinecakes7962]

The red shirt and yellow shirt look amazing on you! I would be so excited to see them in a Harry Potter look book, I love those. And i personally think that if an older dress is falling apart, you should reuse it for a pattern. If it can't be fixed, then you're basically giving it new life by re-purposing it as a pattern, otherwise it would sit somewhere and be forgotten.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@elainescott6537]

I would enjoy watching you make a pattern out of the vintage dress!!

[@grannysquared7140]

sizing note, if the top was from "Torrid" than a size 0 is equivalent to a L/12. the crop top is very Ann Margaret

[@i.l.746]

All beautiful buys... That black velvet princess dress... EPIC 😍

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! I had to have it ;)

[@kitssewingkit]

Making a pattern from damaged garments is a great way to preserve them and give them new life! also heck everything you got looks so good!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Kate!

[@temperhollow7716]

Great finds! Love the leopard-print blouse and the tan pleated pants. They would look great with oxford lace-up shoes with a pump heel. Everything is gorgeous and could you share how you keep your hair so incredibly shiny?

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! I'm afraid I don't do anything special to my hair! The only product I use in it is spraying some Carol's Daughters leave in conditioner in after a shower, but I think it's perhaps the Pravana hair color my stylist uses that makes it shiny? No clue really.

[@javajunkie9748]

Love how you styled your entire collection of treasures! The velvet vest is ARGuably the best! (Almost forgot...I vote “YES” to dress pattern!)

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! Also, hooray for the pun :)

[@RetroMinnie87]

I love your hairstyle! You always have such great finds at the thrift store! 😃

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

I love your commentary and vision....swashbuckling vest and yellow blouse are my favorites!!!!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Heather!

[@lilacchocolate]

That velvet black dress is such a beautiful find! 👏😍 Oh and in answer to your side zip question; I always put them on first then do hair and makeup. If hair and makeup are done first...not a chance I'm wearing a dress with a side zip that day! 😜

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@marylhere]

The DIY Halloween at Goodwill is a treasure trove of vintage for cheap.

[@sandraoppenheimer464]

Love your finds. I sometimes buy vintage clothes that are beyond repair for the trims or parts of fabrics I can salvage and then I make accessories with the salvage. I especially liked how you cuffed and tied the leaopard shirt .

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Sandra!

[@nesdingo]

You are working that cropped top! I’d say take apart that dress! You’re giving it new life by creating new pieces because of it. AND YES to the Halloween rack! I’ve found soooo many amazing dresses during Halloween time!!!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! Halloween is indeed the best thrifting season :)

[@knitbelove]

ANNE LISTER YES That gold blouse is stunning. For the khaki pants I'd wear them with loafers, they're my #1 vintage-style shoe.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Sarah!

[@LadyBeatrixMcCormick]

The black crop top gives me Egyptian vibes...maybe over the top of a sheer sheath dress with black cigarette pants underneath, and Egyptian-esque jewelry. My favorite is that last Laura Ashley piece! Love, love, love it! As far as worn out clothing...I'm in the "use it as a pattern" camp. That's exactly what my grandmothers did. Vintage upcycling at it's best!!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Heidi!

[@stace_d]

ALL these looks are perfect! And I lovvvve that studded crop top with the pencil skirt. Also, the velvet dress is pure magic.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you Stace!

[@jewnie2372]

This video was super inspiring to me, and I hit subscribe so I can be sure to check out your other videos as well! I'm in the process of redoing my wardrobe, and I sometimes have a difficult time picturing how modern made clothing can fit in with the look I'm going for. Seeing you pair things really helps me out, because it kind of forces me to think of what is already in my closet that I can pair. Halloween racks have been kind of a bust for me. I've been trying to replace a pair of Victorian style boots that got worn to death during several pirate festivals and cosplay events. No joy so far but I have hope. And if I find some cool other clothing items along the way, then yay! My best score lately has been a silk kimono that was made within the last 10 years (I like doing brand research), but it looks so 1920s that I feel like I should be sitting in some fancy jazz club every time I wear it.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! Anything with fancy jazz club vibes is a win. American Duchess make gorgeous looking Victorian boots but they are the real deal and an investment for sure. I want some!

[@ayeshaw.oliver3197]

Eeeek... I'm so excited to hear you're going to have a shop

[@rpkent8884]

Also, the eyelet top is beautiful! Looks so good on you too.

[@Erinicus]

You are so fabulous! You hold yourself so well, classy and beautiful. And lucky to find these amazing pieces!!

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! In reality I'm actually quite clumsy as a rule unfortunately ;)

[@melanielaura111]

Oh! The studded blouse looked gorgeous too! Reminded me of Janet Jackson- Rhythm Nation on the hanger. Once on, I thought of Cleopatra! Endless possibilities and it looked lovely with your shape!

[@prettycave]

Girrrrl you are making that crop top work!! It’s gorgeous. I love that mustard top too.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you!

[@lasagnalass4255]

Black velvet 😍 that dress is gorgeous, the vest too!

[@jgirvin5460]

Everything looks great! What a fantastic haul. That Laura Ashley black velvet dress is an incredible find.

[@TheClosetHistorian]

Thank you! I was so pleased when I found it!

[@donahazelwood9263]

That crop sweater reminded me of so many movies from the 30's and 40's. Loved it on you! ❤

I LOVE that crop top on you! Well, all of this looks gorgeous on you, but that top... dang.

Love the midriff sweater on you!!! Looks great!!!
