The great thing about boot sales is to expect the unexpected. I didn't go on Sunday because of the weather, so come Bank Holiday Monday, I was itching to go, despite the constant threat of rain. I got a lovely 80s georgette (like chiffon) cream blouse (£1), a Miss Selfridge floral cami/tunic (50p), a grey Oasis tunic (50p), a vest top (50p) and a skirt (50p).
But my favourite find of the day is this vintage 50s or 60s guipure lace dress by Laura Phillips for only £2.50. The dress is quite heavy and I'm so pleased its devoid of any marks and also fits like a glove!! I haven't sourced some real vintage (pre 70s) from the boot sale for ages, so was very pleased with this find. 
I'll definitely wear it in Summer, I'm just sending it to the cleaners so it will be ready to wear in the finer weather to come!

Very pretty. It's nice to get something that's pristine. I was just looking at a Radley dress of mine that's in the WORST shape!

Fab find and I can't believe I missed a car boot on my doorstep!!
In such great shape and I love it!
What a gorgeous lace dress! I have a white, eyelet lace dress that I pair with apple-red heels that I wear in the summer. I bet you'll look smashing, baby! (Since when did I start talking like Austin Powers?)
How lucky¡ Love it¡Did you have a good Easter?.Mine was ok,not travelling this year,just going out.

Oh Sharon, it's stunning! Can't wait to see what you pair it with ...
Arrrgh, can I just iterate HOW jealous I am of your boot sales? I would be like a child in a candy store at one. Yes, yes, Perth has still got a while to go...boo.
Love the dress too, its absolutely perfect.
I'd love to see the fit on you too :)
Wow! What a treasure -- and it looks like it is in perfect condition!
Wow, that dress is so gorgeous and even better that it's perfect. I hate it when you spot something you really like but only to find a stain on it somewhere.

very sweet, will be fab for summer! (if we get one ; p)
Super cute dress Sharon! Can't wait to see you in it:)

wow cute tank! great find :)
incredible, what a lovely dress!
oh that dress is beautiful!!!
that lace dress is killer...perfect with some brown flat boots!
Soooo pretty! For some reason guipure lace seems so '60s London to me. Probably because we Sri Lankans used to be in awe of the guipure lace found there, those days. I remember my mother bringing a length with her when she emigrated to America, during a short stopover in England. We all just love this fabric.
Hi there-thanks everyone for your lovely comments and Anchibride, I'm pretty sure its early 60s, or even late 50s, but I'm so pleased with it too, I've wanted a vintage lace dress for ages!!
