Vintage gals you’ve just got to check this out!  Original Stacy Ames Vintage Designer wool dress is fully lined and in perfect condition! 

Right out of Rachel’s “time capsule fashion collection”, this apparel jewel looks like she could have had it hermetically sealed! 

I challenge you to find ANYTHING in designer wool without moth holes or the smell there of (sorry to be so vulgar - but if it’s the truth!).  One of the great advantages from inheriting Rachel’s collection pieces is that you know she cared, loved and appreciated every one.  Always great style that’s one-of-a-kind, packaged with tender loving care only a “Rachel Girl” can appreciate.  Can you believe the detail in orchestrating the matching of those lines in the pattern?  WOW!  Grays, blacks, rusts earth tones splash fashionably at an angle across the entire front and back of the dress for a perfectly flattering appeal.  Fully lined (you don’t see that today unless you want to mortgage your home!), back zip, fringed tipped belt with belt loops attached, detail darts at bust and back kick pleat.  Just absolutely fabulous one-of-kind classic vintage find brought to you by the one and only original Rachel Girl.  ENJOY!

Did you know that is actually Rachel’s (my mom and best friends) signature scanned into the logo “A Little Bit Of Rachel”?  Why does that make it so special?  When the inspiration came to open a store in honor of my mom (Rachel), the inspiration came complete with the name of the store “A Little Bit Of Rachel” with her signature somehow incorporated into the logo (which I think the graphic artist Irene Johnson did oh so well - don’t you?!?).  At this point, mom had passed away by 5 months from her cancer, and I had gone through many of her papers and trinkets with her sparkling signature so elegantly expressed as only she could do.  I like to think she would be happy to see her one-of-a-kind autograph on her store…because the store is truly hers…and now part of hers can be part of yours too.  How perfectly beautiful is that?

Who is Rachel ?….and why is the store A Little Bit of Rachel named after her?

Rachel was my mother and best friend who passed away from cancer at Mass General Hospital, Boston, February 6, 2005.  My dad (Fred) subsequently passed away the following year, having been with her for 50, on May 4, 2006.

The store became a solution to a problem for me.  Left as an only child to sort through the many treasures my mother had collected in her fashion passion, time capsule treasure trove I knew existed in the attic, a store in honor of her memory as a tribute seemed like an idea with dignity.  Yard sales from hell just didn’t work.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ve made enormous donations to lazarus house homeless shelters, daughters of charity, salvation army and project care, along with free for friends and any good home anywhere.  Even with that, mom had some vintage retro treasures that were so rare and well taken care of they deserved good homes….that would be you….

If you or someone you know loves rare vintage and retro clothing, jewelry and accessories, please spread the word.  LOOKING FOR GOOD HOMES!  Mom had class, fun, feminine zeal for life, and she appreciated the smallest to the greatest moments in life.  Please view the photo gallery too.  I’d like to think there are more “Rachel Girls” out there, who will find and cherish her personal shopping style, so she can live on through you.  It’s not just about the clothes, it’s about Rachel and everything she exemplified as my mom and very best friend, and spreading those noble qualities with her.

THANK YOU for sharing….A Little Bit of Rachel with me…
