Burnt Orange Suede Hoodie Jacket


To my absolute delight, since I've started this vintage clothing business, I have had friends come and raid my inventory closet on several occasions.  This next item is an item that has been coveted many times, but is so petite that many have had to pass on it.  Hopefully this will be perfect for some gal out there...wherever your petite little buns may be. =)
This is a beautiful burnt orange suede hoodie jacket that snaps up and would be the perfect fall jacket!  Tag states that was made in Uruguay and looks and feels great.  There is a matching suede belt tie that comes with the coat, and there are snaps to adjust the wrist size on the sleeves of the jacket.  This coat comes fully lined in a matching burnt orange polyester satin.  The breast pockets are decorative, but the lower slitted hand pockets are functional.
There is a little dirt at the end of the sleeves, a little at hem, and a spot on the matching belt, but do not detract from how cool this coat is, and would probably disappear with just using a suede cleaning kit or taking it to the dry cleaners.  I've tried to take pics of the places that had some dirt, but not all of them could be seen on the pics.  Will do my best to show it though.

This is probably an XS-Small, but please always go by the measurements and leave a few inches allowance for breathing room.

Glam Silver Sequin & Beaded Top


Ladies...this is a unique vintage clothing gem! This is probably the coolest and most unique sequin and beaded top I have ever seen, and I've seen and shopped for quite a few over the years. This top has silver sequins and beads hand sewn onto a black georgette/chiffon(?)blouse. The motif is a floral/starburst pattern, both on the front and the back of top and the sleeves are more of a 3/4 length. This really is an eye catcher with such high contrast between the beading and the background of the blouse. In the back, there is a notch in the collar with two hook and eye closures. There are no tags to go by so please use the measurements below. Because the threading for the sequin & beads is ivory colored, you can see just a few spots where some bead or sequin has come off, but only because you can see the thread sticking out. This would be easily repairable since the bead and sequins used are very common and easy to find at most craft stores, or if you just tuck in the thread, you'd never really notice that any of the sequins or beads were missing.  I originally bought this for myself for clubbing, but because I didn't take into consideration the lack of give this fabric has, I didn't have enough boobage room.....so my loss is someone else's totally awesome gain.

Make sure that you leave a few inches allowance for breathing room as this fabric has zero stretch or give.

Fabulous Gold Sequin & Bead Top


This vintage top is gorgeous!  Gold sequins and glass seed beads have been hand sewn onto this black georgette(?) background.  There are no tags on it, but someone has pinned in some shoulder pads that could easily be removed if you so desired.  There is a very slight V notched into the neck, and the black parts of the shirt are where the semi transparent black georgette is showing through.  This top has a whole lot of glitz and glam that can be worn casually with jeans and a jacket, or worn at a dance club, disco, party, or special occasion.  Can I just say how much I love that sequins are back in (sigh).
