(Mostly) Vintage dresses & coat, sizes 6-10

I'm downsizing my wardrobe too, for the move, and selling off some hoarded vintage dresses (and one very beautiful wool coat). Because I'm in a hurry to sell everything before the move, everything is $15, unless otherwise labelled -- a steal, as some of these would easily go for upwards of $100 at a place like Cabaret (and in fact, some of them were bought for upwards of $100 at Cabaret).

A note on sizing: I have given my best estimate as to what their sizes would be today. They're probably labelled with a different size, if they're labelled at all.

As a sizing reference, the person who is modelling them is usually a modern size 8, with measurements of 32D - 28" - 38".

1960s chiffon dress, 30" waist. Would suit size 8-10.


1960s hand-made coral chiffon greek goddess-style dress, 30" waist, would suit size 8.


1960s peach silk dress, would suit size 8-10.


Calvin Klein, 1990s (is that old enough to be considered vintage yet? who knows). Would suit size 8.


White cotton eyelet dress. Would best suit size 6, or 8 if you have small breasts.


Gray wool dress, best for size 8. Is unlined so you'll need a slip under it. Asking $40 for this one.


80s polka dot dress with built-in crinoline. Waist is belted, so could easily fit a size 6-10.


Black velvet dress with lace and built-in crinoline. Apparently the lace is something special and much more difficult to obtain today than it used to be. Or that's what the lady told me. Something like that. Best for size 6.


Pale gray wool coat, made in the 1980s. This is a very heavy wool and, because of the weight and the interlining, quite warm. Very beautiful, especially in person. I am selling this because (hopefully!) I won't need anything this heavy in Vancouver. Asking $80 OBO.
