Vintage Clothing - Emerald Green 1960s Vest with Silver Buttons - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Vest

Emerald Green 1960s Vest with Silver Buttons

$135.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

The art of layering begins here. This authentic vintage gillet proves that the simplest pieces often work the hardest.

Crafted in emerald green easy care fabric with a subtle texture, the fabric has weight and presence without bulk. The sleeveless design creates a clean vertical line, while the open front allows for endless styling possibilities. A deep V-neckline elongates the torso beautifully, flattering whether you carry more fullness through the bust or prefer a more streamlined silhouette.

The A-line cut gently skims away from the body, creating elegant movement and balance. If you have broader shoulders or a fuller bust, the open front and V-neck draw the eye down rather than across. If you carry more through the hips and thighs, the longer length and A-line shape provide graceful coverage while maintaining proportion.

Silver button detailing on the front hip pockets adds a touch of polish, three on each side catching light with every step. Construction is impeccable, with clean seaming and a structured shoulder line that holds its shape.

Layer it over high neck light sweaters and blouses for cooler months, or wear it as a statement piece over silk camisoles or slip dresses for evening. This is the kind of vest that builds a wardrobe. Timeless, versatile, endlessly wearable.

1970s Navy Daisy Garden Embroidered Boho Blouse 'VIP'

1970s Navy Daisy Garden Embroidered Boho Blouse 'VIP'

$130.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

A glorious navy background comes alive with a lush, hand-style embroidered floral bib running from the open V-neckline down the chest, daisy blooms in amber, ice blue and cream tumbling over teal vines and pink buds, with scattered posies drifting across the body, collar and cuffs. The wide 1970s collar is embroidered right to its tips, and the gathered cuffs carry the same floral detail, so this blouse is as beautiful from across a room as it is up close. The fabric drapes and flows softly and keeping its shape beautifully.

The straight cut style means this one works tucked in or worn loose, adapting to whatever the day calls for. The deep V of the embroidered bib draws the eye straight to the face and naturally lengthens the neckline, which is always flattering across the bust and shoulder. Wear it with denim shorts and simple espadrilles or sandals for a relaxed summer look. Layer it under a longline blazer and tailored skirt as the weather cools for a spiffy work look.

Pru Fischer New Zealand 1960s Midnight Navy Silk Pleated Floral Border Skirt 'VIP'

Pru Fischer New Zealand 1960s Midnight Navy Silk Pleated Floral Border Skirt 'VIP'

$149.00 $130.00 Save $19.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

There is something quietly extraordinary about holding a piece of New Zealand fashion history in your hands. This authentic vintage silk skirt by Pru Fischer, crafted during the late 1960s domestic textile renaissance, carries the kind of considered artistry that simply does not exist in modern production. Weightless yet structured, the fluid knife pleats fall from a clean waistband with architectural precision, releasing into a full, sheer silk sweep that moves like water. At the hem, a painterly botanical meadow erupts into life: tall irises in blush and coral rise above drifts of wildflowers and delicate foliage, rendered with an illustrative hand that reads more like a garden painting than a print.

The high waistband draws the eye upward and defines the midsection cleanly, while the pleated volume below skims and floats rather than clings, making this silhouette generous and forgiving across the hip and thigh. The hemline print anchors the eye at the lower leg, creating a natural visual balance that elongates the figure. Pair it with a simple white tee for effortless daytime wear, or tuck in a fine-knit merino for a more weather friendly ensemble. This is investment dressing at its most poetic.
