Awesome cardigan day at afterglow vintage

Bird watcher’s cardigan at afterglow vintage

Hello!

So today I’ll be listing some fabulous cardigans, perfect for beach season!

After a long day in and out of the cold waves, sunkissed, with the early evening breeze turning into a chilly wind, nothing’s better than snuggling into a cozy cardigan as you light up the fire and gather ’round to picnic and share stories….

New Pinterest Board: Vintage for the Voluptuous!

I’ve created a new Pinterest Board: vintage clothing for curvy, plus size women, featuring pieces featured in my own Etsy shop as well as other online vintage clothing shops.
Curvy women are generally under-served, I believe, by the American fashion community; this is my own small contribution to balancing that out

My favorite vintage men’s shirt right now!

Is this shirt fantastic, or what?

Super awesome 1960’s elephant print cotton shirt, in green, navy blue, and red on white, with button up front, one chest pocket, smallish notched collar, and straight hem

In excellent condition
There are no labels; it appears to have been hand made by a skilled sewer

NOTE: the elephants are upside-down! so this shirt is perfect for someone who’s kinda weird. 

It looks and feels like it’s made from an all cotton fabric; I recommend machine washing and either hang to dry or machine dry with no heat, to keep the print bright and fresh

medium

Dimensions:chest: 42″ (meant to fit a little softly)length (top of shoulder to hem): 24″

My new perfect vintage black dress!

Oh my goodness, I just found the perfect black dress yesterday… I had it all photographed for the shop, but as I admired it on the mannequin, I realized it had to be mine.

It’s by Taurus II, an 80’s brand I come across somewhat regularly, and the pieces are generally black knits, often with gray or white striping and details, and sporty and easy to wear.

This one has a wonderful very full flowy skirt (when you twirl in it, it swings around in a full circle), hidden hip pockets, a simple bodice, and a perfect waistline. 1980’s channels Audrey Hepburn.

It’s a little more sleek and severe than I usually go for, but the full flowy skirt softens it, making it just playful enough that right now, it’s my new favorite dress.
