The Words from Billy Idol’s 1982  Song White Wedding  rang through My Head.

“It’s a nice day for a white wedding
It’s a nice day to start again.
It’s a nice day for a white wedding
It’s a nice day to start again”

Size 8 classic Jessica McClintock is ready for your White Wedding  or any other Special Occasion.

In JmillieSJustvintage store on Etsy, I also found a stunning beaded purse to go along with the dress.

Condition is wonderful and keeping with an item of this age, it’s vintage and previously loved.

This is a wonderful way to show your uniquesnes and style. It’s not another cookie cutter purse.

Stunning 2oth century Dessert Fork and Spoon to dress up your table

Jul 10 2009 Published by under etsy.com

Fabulous silverplate tea caddy dessert fork and sugar spoon serving set. Tthis set is just the most beautiful eye candy in its detail.

il_430xN.75947998

Made by Tomsen & Knudsen from Bergen, Norway, this is  the Kings Cross pattern.

Each piece has a heavy twisted handle capped with an large opulent embossed open work top. Beautifully crafted and so ornamental! These could be used for a variety of serving options as the spoon has a large ladle-like bowl and the fork tines are large and capable of holding a heavy piece of meat or cheese as well as all kinds of delicious desserts. They are in excellent condition and are marked TK 40G.

il_75x75.75948098

Please make careful note to the sizes. The spoon measures just over 5″ long with the bowl measuring 1 3/4″ in diameter. It weighs 23.5 grams. The fork measures just over 5 1/4″ long and weighs 15.9 grams. The set weighs approx. 1.27 troy ounces. In mint condition and unusual to find them as a set. Early 20th century.

These can be found at Poshadornments shop in Etsy.

AntiqueAli’s amazing collection of Dress clips at Ruby Lane and Etsy.

Jul 07 2009 Published by under Ruby Lane

Allison has a amazing variety of dress clips at her ruby lane store.

She says” Dress clips are such a versatile and affordable accessory. They look fabulous on a blouse or dress. They are wonderful on a blazer or coat. Many use them to accent a purse, belt or hat. Use your imagination…you can clip them just about anywhere!”

I love to use them on a dress or shirt that is too big on top, it’s like a tailor in a box. You place them (like darts) on either side of the neckline and instantly it’s more form fitting.

Another, good place to wear them is on Shoes , Instant Glamor.

Celluloid  Wired Hair / Airdale  Terrier Dog Dress

Celluloid Wired Hair / Airdale Terrier Dog Dress Clip

above is a  1930-40′s dress clips in the form of a terrier dog…probably a wire haired terrier, but could be an airedale or schnauzer. The clips have a layer of silver-tone metal over some form of green plastic. Usually these metal glad pieces are Bakelite, but these are light in weight and didn’t test positive, so I’m leaning towards celluloid. The metal has hand engraved details. These clips are also unusual in that they open from the side. They are meant to be worn on a square neckline but could also face each other on lapels…

Red Enamel Abstract CACTUS Dress Clip/Earrings

Red Enamel Abstract CACTUS Dress Clip/Earrings

This 1940′s vintage dress clip and earrings set is in the form of a cactus with an abstract…almost atomic looking cactus of bumpy gold-tone metal (plated on pot metal), accented with hand painted red enamel. The dress clip is pictured on page 93 of Warman’s “Costume Jewelry Figurals Identification and Price Guide” by Kathy Flood. She states it was possibly made by Tortolani. The dress clip alone is valued at $150-$200, and I have the matching clip back earrings! The dress clip measures 2 1/8″ and has a clip mechanism in good working order. The clip back earrings measure 1 1/8″
