This vintage maxidress is done in a beautiful classic 1930s style, with a square neckline, flutter cape sleeves, and a shape that almost simulates that timeless 1930s bias-cut shape, but in a more structured linen fabric. I love how the unexpected ball fringe trim on the sleeves further emphasizes their beautifully draped shape. So many thoughtful and well-executed design details went into making this dress, and its very apparent. The bodice is very fitted and shaped with darts, and at the empire waist, there is a moss green velvet waistband, which forms a bow to one side in the back— the back's asymmetry is so elegant. I can't say enough how much I love this combination of powder blue and deep moss green— it's so chic and unexpected. The powder blue color make this an excellent "Something Blue" (and "Something Old") for a bride-to-be's bridal shower or other bridal event. Horse hair in the hem to gives the skirt an amazing shape— the hem is ever-so-slightly longer in the back, giving that really full, sweeping shape. Made in the USA; no fiber contents are listed but it feels like 100% heavy linen (or linen blend).

The Rare Antique Victorian Beaded Bag and Vintage Louis Rousselet Pearl Cluster Earrings pictured are also available

the BEST organizer EVERR
Color: white
This makeup organizer is incredibly useful and it looks great aesthetically too! It has a very very large storage capacity and it fits all of my skin care products aswell as many other extras, and there's STILL room for more. While it does look a bit plain and like cheap plastic, the organizer still looks aesthetically pleasing all around with its compact and minimal shape. The "cheapness" barely registers especially when you put items in which helps carry some of the appearance. The silicone handles are also pretty unconventional- but even after a while of owning this, I haven't experienced any issues that could suggest it's at all flimsy or could break off at any time. It's very easy to keep my items neat because of this, and I'm very happy with my purchase. Honestly and I MEAN IT, it's a must have ya'll 😩

Perfect Makeup Organizer
Color: Green-Large
I love it! Big enough for everything. Plenty of compartments. Drawers move easily. It took some time to decide which one to get. So glad I got this one. And I love the color. Price was good too. Very happy with this purchase.

Absolutely PERFECT.
Color: Black-Large, Color: Black-Large
I’m absolutely floored by this organizer. Personally I think the quality is great, it’s sturdy and the drawers are easy to open. There’s so much space, more than I thought - the drawers are the entire depth of the organizer and the slots are all large enough to fit a bunch of products. And it’s not even that pricey. It’s a little bigger and heavier than expected, so if you’re looking for something more compact then you won’t want this, but for me it’s just what I needed. It has room for all of my skincare, makeup, beauty tools, even essentials like contact lenses. And the best part is it’s so spacious that I have room left over, which means I have an excuse to buy more makeup 😉
