I finally bit the bullet and opened another etsy shop, where I shall list vintage wedding dresses and furs....both a hard sell so I am not expecting much action.
but a dress is already featured in a pretty treasury. '40s chic', my favorite era. Other vintage clothing will be for sale when I get a bit more organized.
Now I will have to figure out how to promote this, any suggestions more than welcome.
oh good luck with that, I am sure there are a lot of soon to be brides out there looking for Vintage. Maybe promote with a card thru some of the Vintage Clothing shops that don't sell wedding, just day clothes?
Good luck with the new Etsy shop Jan. I love the wedding frocks, especially the second one. I just adore the shape of the neckline. I can only dream about fitting into something like that, 40 years ago maybe...........LOL... Sorry I have been absent, coming to terms with new computer and have lots of worries here with mice plague at the moment. Take care, hope spring is soon with you.
Jan, I "inherited" some furs from my children's French great-grandmother when she passed last year. I'm thinking of trying the other E site. I'll go check out the new shop. Good Luck. Alysen.
Very interesting idea! I don't see any wedding plans in my future, but I will certainly have fun looking at what you have...and, I will be sure and point anyone I know who is in the market in your direction!
I have a passion for vintage textiles, I even have a degree in printed and embroidered textiles (many decades ago), and I still find them intriguing! I hope to be able to share my thrift stores and market finds from all over the world. Toronto has been my home for 45 years.
Where to find me
Saturday mornings 8 - 1. Brickworks Farmers Market, Toronto
I am a sucker for vintage wedding dresses! I hope to wear one when I finally take the plunge. Looking forward to seeing your new shop!

ReplyDeleteThe dress in the second picture looks amazing, but I ain't getting married again.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with you rnew venture.
To bad I'm already married, would have loved to wear the 1940s wedding dress.
ReplyDeleteJan best wishes for your new etsy shop!
ReplyDeleteWarm hugs,

This sounds cool. I'll checkout your shop now.
ReplyDeleteThose dresses are spectacular! If I weren't already married (and was at least ten sizes smaller!!) I'd love one.
