dress-up


  




these will be listed in my shop this week.  the one from my previous post will not, as it has a small snag at the back and was mostly a study of size.  vintage textiles are such a joy and antique textiles are even more precious.  giving laces a new life in dress up so they don't need to only come out for formaliteas.  they are beautiful and some very weighted, some very sweet and some very lustrous.

ingreteaents:  antique lace, vintage velveteen, vintage petersham, vintage rayon, vintage cotton print, vintage acetate, distressed/tea dyed and hand finished silk ribbon, soft japanese cotton prints, shell buttons, hand sewing, metal grommets, rayon hem tape, hemming by hand, joy and happiness.

the next 5 are fully planned and awaiting my attention.  capturing these as they truly are via camera is the hardest part and so i am hung up in beginning anew.
