Carmine & Hayworth

Cheers to new beginnings! After a lot of thought, work, stressing, sleepless nights, and more stressing, I've FINALLY decided to bite the bullet and launch my new business! I've been collecting vintage clothing for as long as I can remember and I've always been asked if I would ever consider loaning or renting pieces out for Photo-shoots, events, etc. If you're in the Fargo-Moorhead or surrounding, find me on Facebook and feel free to contact me 😊 Carmine & Hayworth on Facebook Below are some pieces that will be up for rent and also just to fawn over! 1960's Beaded, Sky Blue Burlesque Cuff (costume included) 1980's does 1940's ruched & sequined Wiggle Dress Vintage sequined, Mermaid gown used for Drag or Burlesque

Lately I've really been paying more attention to the more simple joys of vintage collecting. I have really been gravitating towards the outlandish, gaudy and over-the-top pieces, but I realized that I really get more of a thrill through the littler or simpler pieces. This handmade burlesque set from the 60's is one of those pieces that I often overlook while sorting through my collection, but it really tells a lot about the person who made it.  I visualize the person through the garment.  I especially love that it matches this saucy vintage postcard too 😍 1960's Sequined Burlesque Set via Ebay Vintage Postcard via MidCenturyModeration on Etsy One thing I love about living in Fargo is that the vintage shops we have are truly unique. We don't have too many here, but the ones I adore fit the owners to a "T". I recently went to Violet's Vintage in our downtown area and the Bed Jacket and Nightie/ Slip I found just ooze class and simplicity. 196

The latest addition to my ever-growing Burlesque Costume Collection is this antique set I found on Instagram. Just based on the beading and patina of the pieces, I believe this set to be from the 30's/ to 40's as an estimate.  I absolutely ADORE the sequin & jeweled decorations with all of their intricacies. The piece needs a little love due to its age.  Some of the sequins & beads are falling off and need to be replaced, but that just adds to the overall uniqueness and beauty of these pieces. It never ceases to amaze me just how heavy these pieces are when I receive them! The sheer weight of these pieces alone are worth a thousand words! Since my collection has been growing so fast, I have really needed to do an overhaul of how I store them since it's VITAL to have proper/ safe storage.  Oddly enough I found some amazing sliding storage, canvas containers at Walmart that have a clear plastic cover to see the pieces.  They super cheap, heavy duty and THEY HAVE
