When will we get to the 1990s?
Disappointed, I responded, Just four more decades to go!
Though Sturbridge contains pieces that will make a fashion-nostalgic weak in the knees (Mary McFadden!

), the show is not meant to overwhelm.
I only want to have a 35-dealer show, says Brockman.
I wanted to create a very boutiquey, slow shopping experience.

These pieces are going-going-gone!
My personal favorites from the show, which is on through tomorrow night by tickets only, are below.
I have a few McFadden pieces in my closet, but theres always room for more.

When in doubt, buy the McFadden.
Upon entering the show, you’ll immediately spot the stellar leather set.
Especially since it has such a provenance!

The dress, which dates back to Spring 1975, was photographed on the mod-icon Peggy Moffat.
Nelly de Paris dress fromMaria Niforos
Everything in Maria Niforos booth was catnip for me.
A highlight, though, was a two-piece set from the label Nelly de Paris that was distinctly 1960s.

The dress comes with a coordinating coat, and between the two, youd be wearing 30 poundsat least.
This is the doing of Oscar de la Renta.
I cannot deny vintage Oscar, and I was especially smitten with this piece.

I told myself I couldnt buy another black dress, buttechnicallythis is a skirt and top set!
I just adore it.

Purple velvet Adolfo fromVintedge NYC
Adolfo is a designer who deserves more celebration.
From 1969, this dress is downright dreamy.
Plus, the crystal embellishment along the hemline and collar is in perfect condition.
