A Vintage Haul in Ballarat

I knew my Aunty D had a super cool shop but I forgot how seriously cool it is. I haven't been there for quite a while...sorry Aunty D...but visited her recently and did a major HAUL spending over 2 hours in there looking in every single cabinet and shelf!


I tried on this dress but unfortunately I couldn't even do up the front buttons. Boo big boobs.


Smile Aunty D! That's my haul there on the counter and she's holding up my dress!


My haul included a 60's Scooter dress in navy and white polkadots, a skirt with an image of 50's ladies all dressed up shopping, a long coral necklace, screw on rhinestone earrings, several scarves, carved celluloid bangles and a gorgeous little polkadot carry straw bag. Very happy!

Her shop is called D's Recycled Fashions in Sebastapol, Ballarat if anyone wants to go browse thru hundreds of vintage clothes. ( Next time I want an advertising discount Aunty D and remember to hold me any 50's swing stuff! )

    Oooh! I love vintage shops! If I were in Australia I would probably go to your Aunty D's! Seems like a cool place! Sometimes they are too packed and dirty, but this one looks clean!

    Can't wait for you to model your haul. Nice shop! It's fun to go digging around and see what you can find.

    I can't imagine how tempted I'd be if I had a relative with a cool vintage shop - lucky you! It sounds like a GREAT haul - eagerly awaiting more pics!

    Looks like a great store! I am swooning over that gorgeous silver flapper-esque dress in the top right of the last photo.
