This dress is a real vintage gem, with finishing and details you won't find today, at any price. How often do you see a 4" hem on a modern dress? From the estate of Dorothy E., a woman with some truly fabulous clothes.

Note that this dress coordinates perfectly with Dorothy's mocha crinoline, which was likely made to go with it. Contact us if you'd like both items. We're happy to offer the set at a discount.

Sensitive eyes, and actual visible LASHES now.
Size: 0.27 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Mascara/Lash Primer, Size: 0.27 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Mascara/Lash Primer
I've gone through so many different mascara products to be able to try and find the ones that are going to work with my sensitive eyes. I have blonde eyelashes that stick straight out and are very long for them being blonde. I was using physicians formula for years and years and years and years and then it got to the point where they switched the formula recently? And I was not getting any desired results. On a whim I decided to buy this even though it is about 10 to $12 more than what I would normally spend and I was blown away. I love the pre mascara coating, and the mascara is just so clean and so soft... It's easy to remove stays in place! It does not budge. This is a quality product 10 and a 10 100 out of 10 if I could vote it that way. Fair-skinned fair eyebrows fair eyelashes we just want to have normal looking lashes.... That's all we ask in this product delivers!

It actually is the best
Size: 0.27 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Mascara/Lash Primer
This mascara has apparently won awards, as it should have! This is the first mascara I have ever used in 20 years of wearing mascara that doesn't smudge around my eyes. The key is obviously the primer. I'm obsessive about priming something before painting it, because it makes all the difference. No wonder it makes all the difference with makeup, too. Great applicator. Product lasts for about 5 months for me, with near-daily use. Works great all the way until the tube is empty. Also thankful of course that it is a clean brand. About to purchase for the 4th time.

Great mascara with two small flaws
Size: 0.27 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Mascara/Lash Primer
I really like this mascara. I was using mascara which was not labeled as using clean ingredients. I switched to this one and after a few weeks, I noticed my eyelashes were longer, fuller, and healthier. The only problems I have had is it clumping my eyelashes quite a bit and it flaking throughout the day, adding to my permanent dark circles under my eyes. A lash comb fixes the clumping pretty easily and I have just learned to wipe under my eyes throughout the day to get the flakes off. Knowing the product I'm using is clean and safer than others is worth those two small inconveniences.

Long lost LOVE!
This is my absolute favorite outdoor tanning product so far! I purchased this for the first time during a vacation out of state and fell in love with the formula. It is a dry oil, so your skin is left smooth and silky - not sticky or slick. There is no SPF, so I do recommend using this when you've already developed a good base tan. I find that it is not as heavy feeling as similar formulas with SPF. The fragrance is the classic tropical Australian Gold scent that smells just as good hours after applying and is non-offensive. There are instant natural bronzers in this product thanks to the black walnut shell extract which provides a great glow after applying. The formula also boasts a "Colorboost Maximizer to speed up the tanning process. One of the ingredients: Tyrosine, is responsible for this claim. Tyrosine is an amino acid that melanin (responsible for the pigment of your skin) is made from. The formula also states melanin as an ingredient so the idea is to boost your skins natural ability to produce melanin, which is then darkened by your skin's reaction to UV Rays, thus speeding up your tan. Carrot root extract is another ingredient which is a great antioxidant for skin protection - and Vitamin E is obviously fabulous for skin. The best part: NO MINERAL OIL - so your skin can breathe and soak up nutrients, NOT pore clogging oils! Obviously this isn't a miracle product - but what it is is an affordable, reasonable outdoor tanning product that had some thought put into its formula for your skin's benefit. I believe it does boost my skin's natural ability to pick up color from the sun. And the light formula and great scent doesn't hurt! I absolutely can NOT find this product locally, so when I ran out of my first bottle I was so happy to find it on Amazon. Worth a try if you're looking for a reliable LIGHT outdoor tanning product that smells great!
