Welcome to my Life, "Please Come In"

Little fashionable me! As you can see I started to become aware of fashion at a very early age. I wish I had that little hat and coat today.



I love designing vintage inspired clothing. My signature line, "Vintage By Bonni Lanese" was born. I've always loved old movies, the glamour the wonderful fashions, hairstyles and also the home furnishings of the times. Sometimes I'm so engrossed in looking at all the backround etc. I forget to listen to the dialog of the movie.



Everyday I create something new. Sometimes it's just in my mind but will come to life eventually, and thank you for visiting me.

Working on Glamour Girl Robe for Karoyl




Hi ,  I wanted you to see the chenille I used for the trim of your robe. It has a nice feel to it with a little stretch and would be very nice for your turban. As you can see the sleeves are not in yet but I will be finishing maybe today or tomorrow. I have three wonderful buttons that I think will be perfect, the color is  a very rich blue.  I love it!!

Hello Spencer & Karoyl,  my two newest special order customers for "The Chenille Glamour Girl Robe". I'm shopping today for the white chenille to start work this weekend on Spencer's robe. It will be fabulous! I will post work in progress.
Karoyl, please notice the photos here of the white chenille with soft flowers and also the pale pink with soft flowers. I intended to make these up in robes, do you like? I will post the off white when I get it so you can see that too and decide. I'm working on a few others that are still work in progress. I have many more ideas for more to come.
Keep checking & I'll be in touch.

I'm on a Quest to make those T Mobile Dresses



I have found much success making vintage inspired sundresses for customers. I'd like you to meet Cheryl, she commissioned me to make her this very wonderful crepe pink polka dot sundress and it looks fabulous on her. Her husband loves it so I've heard!! I'm very excited to dress all the women who love this look of sexy sweet. Who in the world wouldn't want that!! I know I do. I've made myself several dresses and have gotten many compliments.
Come on girls, get back into dresses, they make you feel so pretty. contact me we'll talk!! ~bonni~

This dark pink dress is the latest of my sundresses, I know that my photo looks more red but it actually is the dark pink shade. Custom made of cotton, Lycra, ponte, for this happy girl in Champagne, Illinois.  Her very sweet boyfriend contracted me to make it for her as a surprise birthday gift. WOW, what a guy!!! It fits like a glove & she looks  fabulous.
Thanks for looking.
