A Post All Of Its Own

I thought this Lilli Ann suit deserved a post all it's own since you rarely see such a beauty come up for sale. I haven't seen a Lilli Ann suit like this before.  I'm betting it doesn't last long for sale. $745.  Check out the amazing buttons?  Mill Street set up shop on 1stdibs and you can find this suit for sale on there.  Mill Street certainly comes up with some amazing pieces of history.  They are also over on Etsy too.  Oh how I'd love to wear a dress a day from their shop:)

This suit also has just the California label which is also quite rare dating it to the late 40s.  I'd love to see this beauty in person.  Those buttons are just drop the jaw impressive.   Isn't it also interesting about the cut out on the front?  This suit has "ahead of it's time" "timeless" written all over it.


If you are new to my blog,  Lilli Ann and I are best friends.  <smile>  Please follow me on Pinterest (check sidebar)  for updates to my Lilli Ann ads and outfits boards.  I find it fascinating to link actual ads to the current suits so you can also see this here and a brief biography on the designer.  There is also a lot of great information in California Couture.  I highly recommend this book for a peek into vintage California designers.
