This photograph features Yvonne who is a volunteer and model for Vintage Vision looking absolutely stunning in an outfit she bought from the shop. It is a 1940's dress and was worn for a Diamond Jubilee dinner.

One minute this stunning ballgown was displayed in Vintage Vision window and the next this lovely lady was trying it on and doesn't she look amazing. Unfortunately she was bitterly disappointed as it was a little too small.

Telephone Outfit
Telephone Operator's Outfit , a set on Flickr.
My most unusual and quirky find whilst 'sorting' yesterday was this telephone outfit which I remember buying around 20 years ago. The outfit is in a box which reads from Milan to a lady in Edinburgh in 1958 and I think it must have been made for a stage production at that time. The hat is telephone shaped and there are several 'cue cards' reading 'Hold the line caller' etc. Maybe one of our models will be wearing this at our Jubillee celebrations.
1950s Dress and Jacket
Another of my hidden vintage dresess is this pretty dress and jacket which I believe to be home-made. The dress has a halter neck and the tiny jacket has pearl buttons and rose decoration.
Gone With The Wind
I had a great day yesterday rumaging through some long-forgotton vintage garments that had been lovingly stored and completely forgotton about, One of my treasures is this 1950s 'Gone With The Wind' style dress which I simply adore. Unfortunately my mannequin does not lend herself very well to tiny waistlines so its a good job you can't see the back of the photo !
