Mum brought over this vintage dress yesterday when she dropped in to visit. It was given to us by a family member who was cleaning out a very old family home. If I breathe in it fits me pretty well.
What beautiful lace work. It came with a small bolero jacket that isn't shown here.
The skirt of the dress is so heavy!
The lace flowers have a pearl bead in their centre.
The lovely fine straw bonnet came from the same place. I just love this hat and would love to wear it to the races one day. The black purse came from Lyn's mother's friend. I have some other vintage bits that I'll show you next time.
As you can see from the first photo, I still haven't properly fitted and painted the skirting and picture rail in my room. I have almost unpacked and sorted all my bits and pieces so that's good.
I hope you are all having a nice day xx
Sarah! It's spectacular! The details are amazing! xx
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful! How old do you think it would be? The lace and the little pearl beading is just gorgeous and the style is not too disimilar to something you could find in the shops today, amazing how fashion comes right around all the time. Thanks so much for sharing Sarah and your room is looking great!

If I had that dress I would probably walk around the house wearing it! It's fun to still play dress-up <3
ReplyDeleteThat dress is stunning. What is it's history?
ReplyDeleteI think you should wear it with an 'up do' and fabulous earrings, and a nice draw string bag.
For the races put a black plume in your hair (20s) but no hat.
You'll look fabulous!
