Fresh Vintage July 21 to August 3

This is a two week edition of **Fresh Vintage**, the weekly VFG forum "Sneak Preview" thread where vintage fashion lovers gather to enjoy a look at the latest offerings from a variety of VFG's trade members.

Let's start with a fabulous 40s Lilly Dache assymetrical fedora, offered by Alley Cats

Vintage Baubles recently listed this cute 60s mod dress by Toni Todd


If you're after a 40s pinup look, you'll want to check out this red hot 1940s swimsuit, available from Miss Proper

Boncly listed this fabulous pin and earrings set by Matisse less than two weeks ago and a savvy buyer has already snapped them up - it clearly pays to drop by the Fresh thread as it's ongoing every week! Ah well, we cam still admire them here.


When brides start their search for a vintage wedding gown, a dress like this is often their Holy Grail: 1950s, strapless, petal bust, dramatic ballgown skirt.  It exists and it was recently listed at Mags Rags


And I'm going to close this post with another amazing 40s fedora, this one by Borsalino and listed at Rue de la Paix

That's all for today, here on the blog at least. If you'd like to get a head start on next week's post, come on over the the VFG forum to check out all the new goodies in this week's thread.
