Black playsuit. I thought this was a dress when I picked it up, but was pleasantly surprised to find out it was a playsuit when I tried it on at home! It's made from crepe and has lovely bead work on the chest.
Navy 50's pencil dress. This dress has quite a lot of detail that I couldn't photograph, I think maybe I need to take pictures outside in natural light, but being winter the light faded fast so maybe another time! The neck line crosses over into a diagonal line with buttons and on the side it has a sash that falls to the same length as the skirt. I hope you can see what I mean by the little diagram I made!!
Navy/purple 50's dress. This dress has a beautiful floral lace collar, which is what caught my eye.
Peach 50's dress. I love the pockets on this dress! Plus it has an interesting neckline, and I love this colour.
My boyfriend managed to grab me a couple of simple black bags. (The envelope one is massive!!)
He also got me this wonderful navy blue Birkin style bag! It has a brown suede lining on the inside and a little clasp purse attached to the inside too!
I will post pictures of the other two dresses once I have done all of the alterations. Apologies for the naff photography, I'm new to this outfit shot malarky and will hopefully get better at it over time!

And the lace collar set into that purple dress--how divine.

What a haul! I seriously can't wait to visit some vintage shops when I get back in the States!
Looks like a great wee haul - your illustrated details are a great idea!
Oooh well done on your haul, I love that beading detail on the black playsuit.
love the peach 50s dress! i'm taking a class on women in the 50s and writing a paper on the fashion of the time, so i love seeing it resonate or make itself visible in modern times..
Great buys! I wish I could have gone- I almost wanted to fly home to London just for the sale!
Great score!! I love the dresses. Do they need any work? I bet it was a mad house.
wow the purple and peach dresses are gorgeous, and they fit you great as well!
I love all these dresses - for a second there, I thought the black dress came with white piping hehe!
PS. You know, I secretly long for a wolf in front of the moon t-shirt for myself - I have to find one now!
I wish I lived in London.. Sigh.
I love the lace detail on that navy dress, and please do post the other dresses!
