Everyone has their something that lifts their spirits or inspires them. For me, the little details are what I try the most to focus on, especially when it comes to vintage fashion. Part of the reason why I collect vintage Burlesque Costumes or elaborate vintage gowns is because the attention to detail gives me the butterfly feeling in the pit of my stomach.
I feel like I fall in love all over again when I look at each piece and really delve into the construction.
Every little bead sewn into place was done for a reason and a specific look the maker wanted.
It's hard not to feel amazing in a set like this! The glitz, glamour, construction, all of it makes for such an experience to wear 💗
When I first came across this AMAZING 1960's Pink Silk beauty, I KNEW I had to have it! The rhinestones, the beading, the darting.... COME ON! I bought this is a lot of clothing and I had every intention of selling it, but alas I just couldn't let it go. I have my suspicions that this was used as some kind of stage gown due to the construction and similarities from other pieces I own, but I cannot be sure.
The fact that pieces like these are still around and not tattered remnants will always amaze me. The way I think about vintage clothing and all its imperfections, snags, stains and so on, I relate to the old Chinese Proverb where they would put a crack in a pot because the imperfect things in life are beautiful. The same can be said about vintage clothing or objects.
Each imperfection, mark or snag I feel like shows how much love and wear went into each piece.
