The Roaring Twenties was a period of seismic change in women’s fashion. French designers like Coco Chanel, Jean Patou and Jeanne Lanvin introduced revolutionary silhouettes that broke from the corseted ones of the past. The flapper coat was among these styles, and this one made in France during that time is an exquisite reminder of the beauty that was part of the historical shift. The jacket is tailored from gorgeous ivory wool, with a plain weave that takes on unbelievably rich texture when combined with thin and thick strands—including shiny silk ones that form stripes down its length. Along the cuffs and hem, the weave blooms into stylized Art Deco flowers in lovely shades of red, orange, pink, coral, light blue, green, brown and black. Skipped stitches at their centers make for a finely handcrafted peekaboo detail. Trimmed in faux sheepskin fur, this coat is meant to look cozy, with a wrap front that closes with a button most likely made of Bakelite. Wear it with similar pieces to channel the era or mix and match it with modern ones for a truly one-of-a-kind ensemble. Size estimate: XS/S Measurements: Shoulders: 15.5 inches Sleeves: 21 inches Bust: Up to 40 inches Waist: 28 inches (Please note the button can easily be moved over within up to 8 inches to make the coat larger by the waist and hips.) Hips: 37 inches Length: 40 inches This antique flapper...

The designer of this tunic dress is unknown, but that makes it no less spectacular. Done in alternating boxes of matte and shiny gold sequins that create a lattice design, this dazzling dress is playful and sophisticated at once. The bodice begins with a scoop neckline and wide, three-quarter length sleeves, giving this dress a relaxed, languid feel. The dress falls to a mini-length at the upper thigh in a subtle A-line, creating a classic 60s silhouette. The boxes of sequins are arranged in intersecting rows and columns that follow and accentuate the natural lines of the body, giving the eye something new to appreciate at each angle while the sequins glimmer and catch the light. Size estimate: SML/MED Measurements: Shoulders: 16 inches Sleeves: 15 inches Bust: 37 inches Waist: 35 inches Hips: 37 inches Length: 33 inches Evoking the glam mod chic of the 60s embodied by supermodels and socialites such as Twiggy and Edie Sedgwick, this dress is meant for the spotlight and is the perfect choice for a wedding, cocktail party, or special occasion. A special addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this dress can easily be paired with strappy heels and statement accessories. This vintage 60s style dress...
