I may have mentioned before there is a weird vintage shop in my town that is like drug-land crazy. BUT! The lady who owns it loves me for some odd reason, and calls me a celebrity (She said I am famous around here? what?)
Well I stopped in to scour the place for something I could save from Vintage Hell. As I was leaving I spotted a cool Corselette sitting in a dark room. I really thought it was like a modern Fredricks or Victoria Secret type deal, but it looked vintage inspired so I grabbed it. I examine it and low and behold, it has a 1950s "Warner Originals" label in it!!
With much excitement I hurry to counter to pay, and she says $50. I tell her I dont have that much, so she drops it to $20, and I had to trade a 1950s dress in too.
So for $20.00 I now own a beauitful Warner Original Corselette! The only others I have been able to find online are the shorter Merry Widow styles and they are going for $150! This one that sold from DollHouse Bettie, is similar.
Here is mine (in a terrible picture, darn camera!)
I can't believe how lucky I was to get this, in such amazing condition! Normally she has drastically overpriced vintage with holes and stains, but this my friends, is a true gem.
Look forward to seeing it in an up and coming photoshoot!
