Keep the Fire Going.

It was 1947.

But it may have well been 1847, the year her favorite novel came out.

She was wearing this vest, over a lacey blouse, when she met her Heathcliff in a secluded spot under the old Oak.

Those Rhinestone buttons matched the fire in her eyes.

And she discovered those buttons could be unbuttoned quite easily.

(Even by a man.)

And Daddy was on his way to the Jaguar dealer to test drive a new car and wouldn't be in the vicinity soon.

40's Romantic Rhinestone Velvet Vest (No. 2542). Comes from the 20th Century, but its heart is still very much in the 19th. Eight antique gunmetal rhinestone buttons. Cotton velvet is fully lined.

Mandarin collar. Fitting darts in front. Back belt with adjustable antique brass slider. Waist length.

Also doubles as an outfit saver; chose the wrong blouse? Just throw this over it.

Unlike the novel, she married her Heathcliff and eventually inherited the 20-acre estate and the 1948 Hunter Green Jaguar, still in working order.

Just like those buttons. Imported.

Women's sizes: 2 through 16.

Color: Dark Graphite.
