So this would be our last update before Raya.

Adorable is the best way to describe this.

Fits S to small M(not sure of UK sizing)
(sadly, model can't fit, so dress is just held up)

#7 Sailing Mod Squad

Two purposes for this little post.
Firstly, to thank all of you very much for being great buyers and for supporting White Lace And Promises! Honestly, it makes us very, very happy when you say you like our stuff, and we're really happy to spread the love for vintage.
There's only one item left unsold (due to a buyer cancelling on us without informing,sighhh), so just to refresh your memory a bit:
SOLD
Oh ya, originally, we said that the zipper is faulty and you might need to change it,so maybe that put some of you off a bit.
But we fixed that, right now it's working completely fine, plus! We added a DIY zipper head of our own (with pearls,heh) so no extra forking out for tailor charges. Yayy.
Several of you have been asking when is the next update, but we couldn't give a definite date 'cos we were still sorting out stuff....but now we can tell you!
We're updating......
...TONIGHT!
yes,26 September 2008 Malaysian time (ignore the date of this post above,it's set according to some foreign land's time we think), time, around 8pm-ish we suppose. Apologies if it takes longer than that 'cos it's pouring right now and the connection may get a little wonky.
It could be a little earlier too,so best way to know is to stand by, eh? ;)
Anyway,as usual we'll email you once we put up the post,so if you're not on our mailing list yet please do drop us an email or leave a tag/comment to get them notifications!
Cheers,

#5 Pushing Daisies
We just love it when we spot a vintage dress with a short hemline. Rare,we think! Coupled with large daisy prints,fitted waist,and billowy top? Ridiculously cute.The back is slightly adjustable at the waist.
Fits up to small UK12

This one exudes a classy,elegant,mature yet feminine appeal.One side of the tie back sash is missing,but whatever,that doesn't affect anything,you can still wrap the remaining one over your waist.

SOLD
#7 Blossom On My Bottom
Love the item's name? Love the item itself even more!Bright,vibrant,catchy floral print.

This is possibly the brightest coloured vintage dress around. Has pockets too!Fits up to UK12
#10 Saloma
Waist band details. Depicts actual colour.Oooohhhh the print! The wonderful, wonderful print! Excellent material, great cutting. Simply a piece not to be missed. Picture does it no justice at all 'cos it's not worn on the model, but trust us on this.
Fits up to UK10
SOLD
#11 Grey Matter
Understated beauty is what this one is all about. At first glance, it may seem dull. But oh, the details! The neckline trim, the fabric buttons, the cutesy swirly print. Material has a slight satin feel to it. Pocket on one side.Fits up to UK12
SOLD
#12 Tea Party
The front has a beautifully sewn fitted waist
The back is button-down with a sash that can be tied into the prettiest bow ever.
Dress has pockets too! Material has a corduroy feel to it.
Fits up to UK8
*updated*
pit-to-pit 17 inches
waist across 14 inches
SOLD
#13 Black Beauty
Marks and Spencers dress. Unsure whether this is vintage, but it has a vintage feel and has been around for some years. Grey roses on black background.
This dress has turned a little "fuzzy" due to frequent wearing, therefore the low price. If you're not fussy and you love the simple yet elegant look of this dress, then we're waiting for your email.
Fits up to UK12
SOLD
Tulip skirt with very nice high-waist cutting.
The front, with the cute pockets...
The back, with the criss-cross tie-back details
Very nice material, even comes with a spare button
This one has a small stain at the bottom of the front,it's not noticeable unless you look really close and hard (can you even spot it in the pic?) . We say it's such a waste to miss out on this just because of that. If you're really that particular you can always stick a ribbon on that patch or just cut the skirt shorter.
Fits size S
SOLD

********************************************
ANNOUNCEMENT!
To thank all of you for your support, we are offering the following items at SUPER LOW prices! (which is rare for vintage pieces, right?)
The highest priced item is at only RM23!
These are unique one-off items and we will probably not be bringing in anymore. These need to be cleared to make way for more vintage beauties.
What's in store next? Stay tuned to find out!
*********************************************
Your fashion style can be spotted in a million-person crowd. You wear your identity on your sleeve. You don't dress like the norm. You stay away from mainstream and generic. You simply want to be YOU and not like every other person around.
That's what the indie collection is all about.
All are unique, one-of-a-kind items.

#1 Hippie Vines
Black vest with embroided pink floral pattern. We love the cool, hippie, boho feel to it. Very individualistic.Fits up to UK16. Smaller girls, use a tie-back sash,have it taken in,anything goes,easy peasy.
SOLD to Farrah
#2 Red Alert
Vintage red vest with two golden buttons.Tagged size M
(Will be able to button up if you are size M or smaller.)
SOLD to Evelyn
#3 Psychedelic
Whimsical! That's the first word we think of when describing this. Crazy,loud,bright colours. Psst. Person who sold us this told us that it is real silk. Oohhh.Do note that the waist band has little tears, but if you don't stretch it that much when wearing, or if you wear your shirt over the band, then perfect.
Fits up to UK10. Elastic waistband but doesn't stretch that much.
(Model can't fit therefore summoned the suspenders for support)
SOLD to Farrah
#4 Ye Old Checkerboard
Vintage highwaisted skort
It's a black-and-white checkered print. Don't let the camera illusion fool you.
Skort? is that a typo?
Nope. Skort = skirt + shorts
Yeap,just lift the flap,stuff it in and you get to parade it as highwaisted shorts. And we all squeal in delight at panel buttons. *squeal squeal*
Tagged size S
SOLD
#5 Purple Pendulum
Seemingly average and innocent-looking purple cropped jacket.But wait till you see the huge golden zipper head (I don't know what else to call it) (click on pic to see what I'm talking about)
Zipped up or zipped down, the golden beauty will dangle in front of your chest like a proud medal.
Fits up to UK12
SOLD to Shirley
#6 Grandpa's Patchwork
Vintage patchwork vest. At first sight, you may think "waddahell?". We don't blame you,we did too. But look again, the vest stands out with all its vintage uniqueness. Preppy,hippy,whatever. And we just love the boho chic vibe when paired with a flowy dress.(We suspect this fella may be somewhat related to #1 Hippie Vines)
Grandpa chic at its bestRuns a bit big,would fit up to UK16.
To make it fit smaller sizes, you can attach a tie-back sash. Or,it's easily altered as the back is just black fabric.
SOLD to Diyana

Sometimes we don't buy a garment 'cos we think, "This only works in the office". But c'mon, mix-and-match is the best fun in fashion! Then it's so many outfits, so little time. Let us start the ball rolling...
**All items vintage unless stated**
(click to enlarge pics!)
#1 Paris' Houndstooth
If Paris Hilton were to wear a houndstooth,we imagine it'd look exactly like this.
"Black is like,so boring. I want,like,a pink one."
Deliciously playful colour. We dare say it's almost unseen before.
Comes with shoulder pads, keep 'em if you need the support, ditch 'em if you think you look like a quarterback. Excellent thick material.
Tagged XL, will fit up to UK 14. Smaller girls can wear it as a swing jacket.
SOLD
#2 Oriental Bouquet 
Wear it as a skirt
Casual as a long tube.
This item is questionable, whether it's vintage,but has been around for at least 10 years.
Has a vintage look though.
Elastic waist band.
Fits up to UK12
SOLD
#3 Ahoy Sailor!
Off with the usual black high-waist skirts!
We think this looks especially hot on taller girls, 'cos the length is a little longer than your usual high-waisted skirts. But anyhow,you can always chop off a little cloth at the hem.
Baby blue,white and gold pinstripes. Probably the best pinstripe combination ever.
Fits up to waist 30 inches (high waist)
SOLD
#4 Sunkissed
Corporate vest with a little twist. Four golden buttons.
Let us show you how to wear it as a modern vest.
Undo the top buttons, a little nip and tuck at the collar, voila!
Colour is slightly brighter in real life. Brownish, maroon, orangey, yellow hues. And oohh,look at the textured buttons.
Fits up to UK12,maybe small UK14
SOLD
#5 Tic Tac Toe
Cuffed for some puffy volume at the sleeves. Back is a little flared for a pretty shape.
Who can ever get enough of cropped jackets? Especially a vintage one.
Fits up to UK10
SOLD
#6 Lady Boss
Such chic formal wear!
We have given up on trying to name the prints simply 'cos we believe the pictures speak more than enough words.
This originally had shoulder pads but was removed.
Fits up to UK12/small UK14
SOLD
#7 Work And Play
Heh heh, The Picnic Skirt in action
Oversized off-white blazer. Every vintage fashionista needs an oversized blazer in their closet. 'Nuff said.
Fits up to UK14, but beware, sleeves might be a little tight.
(may not look oversized on model as model is bigger than average)
SOLD
