Sunday evening shop preview

I'm a little behind on this week's preview, and there's a lot of it. But it's fun stuff--two new L'Aiglon dresses, a Givenchy juniors dress, and another fab print from my new favorite dressmaker, Joan Miller!

Close-up of the print. I love the prints on these Joan Miller dresses. The charming black little birds dress in the shop right now is also Joan Miller.

Lavender Givenchy Juniors dress. This dress has issues--fading at the armpits and elsewhere, a couple tiny holes--but it's too nifty not to sell.

There's lots more to come, including many more Vera Neumann and Jonathan Logan pieces. I'll probably be posting another preview this week. Oh, and despite all the pretty summer dresses and bright colors that keep calling to me, I'm starting to break into some of the wool skirts--we have some gorgeous plaid pleated and pencil skirts to list--and sweaters, looking forward to autumn and winter. Not to mention coats. And suits. Woo hoo!

  1. My god! This is a great collection of dresses! I may have drooled/gone weak at the knees a bit. I'm a 50s girl :) I must check prices/measurements...

  6. Cute stuff! BTW, it IS the same Ann Taylor. The chain started out in 1954 with one store in New Haven, CT!

  7. Lizzie--I found that out when I did a little Googling! I also discovered that there is no "Ann Taylor", just like there is no "Jonathan Logan." One source claimed that "Ann" sounded like a "Connecticut" name, and "Taylor" was used as a soundalike for "tailor," but I don't know how true that story is.
