Shrimpton Couture- Luxury Vintage & Reconstructed Pieces

Cherie Federau adores vintage. At her online shop Shrimpton Couture you will find the best of the best name and label-wise, side by side with unlabeled treasures. She’s a snob when it comes to quality and cut, and after those two criteria are met – that is when the name on the label comes into play. Garments make the cut based on their beauty, relevance and whether they will still work now. She changes the inventory constantly and only the best pieces are offered. We lucked out today – this 1970′s netting and daisy gown has the hallmark of a 1930′s gown, however, when you look at it a little more closely you see that the fabric is too “new” and the stitches have been finely done, but by machine. And those sleeve puff because each one has a stretch elastic threaded through their hems so you can tie it to fit your arm just so! It is styled over a long white slip (not included). $200 CAD

The dress is a little too much “daisy” for you? Get this costume ring by Kenneth Lane! Dark, almost black metal features a huge flower sprinkled with rhinestones. A big faux pearl sits in the center! Size 6 or 7 but has a built in adjuster. $50 CAD. Ships everywhere.
