In the Pink - Girly Pink Vintage Dresses

I realise that when most people shop this time of year they are looking for traditional "autumn colors" of red, pumpkin, umber, and brown, and I love those too. But sometimes a Gal just needs to wear something girly and pretty and for that nothing beats pink! Did you know that pink is almost universally flattering; it's rosy tones reflecting back onto your face can actually make you look younger!

Check out this sweet Pink Lace 60s beaded cocktail dress. I love how encrusted the pointed collar and cuffs are. Hand beaded in the Crown Colony of Hong Kong; you just can't get this kind of workmanship anymore M - L

Another 60s pink brocade dress with classic bombshell styling:  Made from lux rayon brocade with a dainty cherry blossom pattern.  It has a fitted, figure enhancing design and deep slit in the skirt front.  XS


Entertain someone special in this Groovy 60s Lounger by Designer Georgie Keyloun.  A loose fitting caftan that is perma pleated in sparkly pink and silver lurex.  It has awesome pointed angel wing sleeves. Will fit most.

And our last offering is this Floaty Pink 70s Dress with tiny pleats on the skirt.  Dainty pastel flowers are scattered on a sheer pink whipped poly.  Drawstring neckline and puffed elbow length sleeves.  Fits M - L

New Arrivals at Empress Jade Vintage - Crazy Vintage 60s Fashion

As you know I love bold patterns and fun color combinations, so I was immediately drawn to this fab 60s pants and top combo. 

Easy, comfy wrap pants with wide pallazo legs and a groovy silver toned buckle. Matching halter top with open back.  All in a big ethnic floral print (probably Indian) in easy to wear shades of burgundy, blue gold and black on a natural ground. Size M


This dress is an authentic 60s micro mini dress in an unusual multicolor psychedelic print.  Note the cute little yellow pleated insets at the sides of the skirt. Size S.    The amazing bone suede 60s Gladiator Go Go boots are now available at Empress Jade Vintage on Etsy, Size 7.5



If you live in a rain forest like I do (Vancouver Island) a good rain coat is something of a necessity so it might as well be fun.  I had a bunch of new old stock 60s vinyl raincoats and this is the very last one.  A bright orange and yellow poppy print, Size L  and shown with a super cute white 60s A-line dress


The sleeveless 60s white dress has a drop waist seam and A-line skirt.  Tone on tone diamond shaped pattern, M
