It’s been a long time since I posted anything here. Real life has kept me very busy the last few months, and with my Etsy store on vacation, I haven’t been taking many photos or sewing nearly as much. What has kept me so busy? I’m getting married in two weeks! Last weekend we had a bridal tea party, and my friend Anya wore a dress so beautiful it inspired me to take some pictures again.
The dress belonged to Anya’s great-grandmother, and it has the most beautiful white work in every style: embroidered sleeves, a tatted edge here, a crocheted hem there. The slip is as elaborate as the dress itself, although all you can see of it when worn is a little hint of lace peaking through from time to time. So pretty.
So pretty! I love it, when things get passed on. I wonder, what era this dress is…
