This incredibly chic, unique vintage ivory babydoll dress makes for such a stunning vintage bridal option. Its singular silhouette, with a slight peacock train, reminds me of the dresses Cristóbal Balenciaga was known for in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Two box pleats on either side of the back create volume at the back hips, while the front has a relatively slimmer silhouette, with a fitted bodice that flares into an A-line shape. It was originally made in the 1960s, and lovingly restored and altered by me and my seamstress, making it completely one-of-a-kind. It is crafted from ivory duchesse satin, with lace appliqué and hand-embellished pearls and colorless beads. The sleeves are meant to be looser towards the top with a sort of dropped armhole and dropped shoulders, and pleats at the elbow, all of which is give it that distinct vintage midcentury flare. It features pointed cuffs, with pearl buttons all the way down the back and at the cuffs. The hem is sloped to be slightly shorter in the front, in keeping with that peacock train look. It would be very chic worn over pants or a skirt as a tunic as well.

Measurements: This will fit a range of sizes depending on desired fit, as it can be worn less fitted (as shown on model size X-Small). Will likely best fit a size Small and Medium but please refer to below measurements to be sure.
Shoulders: 17" 
Chest: 36.5"
Empire waist: 30"
Hips are free
Sleeves: 23.5" from shoulder to longest point (pointed cuff)
Length: 32" from shoulder to longest point in the back; 28.25" from shoulder to very shortest front point; 24.75" down center front from neckline to hem (NOTE: hem could be let out about 1.5" if desired. It is shown on a model 5'10" so it will look less short on someone shorter).

Good vintage condition, with some minor wear commensurate with age, including some minor light scuffing to fabric and minor discoloration, which do not detract from the overall beauty and wearability of the dress, which presents beautifully. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please email [email protected] for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final.

Unbelievable disappointment
Format: Kindle
The main character is silly, insipid, one dimensional, and completely unbelievable. A murder victim is discovered and for some reason she immediately believes she is the most qualified person to solve the crime. The supposed professional, the local inspector, let's her walk all over him. I couldn't make myself finish it and certainly won't be reading any more in the series. As far as the audible version, the narrator needs to study American accents more, maybe actually engage in conversation with Americans before trying the accent again. The most cringe worthy narration I've ever heard.

Great read
Format: Kindle
I really like this one. Even though the Poppy character is a bit stubborn and won’t accept she is not really a detective, yet. The rest of the characters and plot delightful. I’m already looking forward to the next one.

Enjoyable

It is a good read. I enjoy the leafing characters. The plot was well done. But it could use a bit of better editing. There were several mistakes.

Format: Kindle
What a wonderful mystery, a grand heroine who is polishing her detective skills. All the pomp of the gentile classes at their play. Murders, theft, and dogs in the highlands, what could be better? Recommend

Promising start to new mystery series.
Format: Kindle
Lady Persephone "Poppy" Proudfoot attends a house party at an estate, meets some American actors, and tries to solve the murder of a stranger to the village whose body is discovered by the lake. The first in a series, this book is a quick read with a plot that moves along, although some of the large cast of characters seem superfluous (e.g., the American visitors). Poppy is a widow, a law-school graduate (in the 1920s!), and ran a hospital for wounded soldiers during WW1, so an interesting character to read about. A promising beginning to the series and I look forward to the next book. Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the eARC.
