Another Happy Customer - In a Vintage dress for a Glamorous Christmas


Angela from Proper Vintage Clothing  is the lucky gal who ended up with this beautiful 1930s charmuese gown from Dandelion Vintage.
Oh, if only I had somewhere to wear a dress like this, but I wouldn't look as good as Angela does in it. She bought it to wear to a Christmas party. What a Glamorous Christmas! Doesn't she make you jealous?

Just added at Dandelion Vintage - girdles, panties, bras and camisoles



Just added this weekend -


This week I made a small stock purchase. Included were a few 1940s gowns and 1940s plus size rayon dresses, shown below in these quick shots. I also got some lingerie, blouses and a box of purses. You'll see the blouses and purses in next week's update, and maaaaaaaaybe the plus size dresses if they are clean in time. With the 1940s gowns, 2 are cotton, so I have to soak them and the other 2 have to go out for cleaning, so they probably won't be added to the site until the following update.

Thinking of Fall - Skirts, Blouses, Jackets and Day Dresses just added

FIRST!!! a message to people on my mailing list. I was having trouble last month using my carol@dandelionvintage.com address for sending out the weekly email updates. So I switched to my regular email address dvintage@comcast.net for the weekly updates. But several people have told me that they haven't been receiving the email since I switched.

I looked into using Bravenet for the mailing list and tried importing my address book. But it automatically sent out a sign-up notice to everyone on my mailing list without telling me first. I would never have done that if I knew it would send out a message in which I had no idea what it was saying to everyone. So I apologize for that email from Bravenet. Some people were concerned that my email had been hacked, but, no, it is fine. Please just delete the Bravenet sign-up, because I won't be using that program after all. Hopefully I will have it straightened out next week.
