A Tale of Woe...
A vintage tale as old as time, no? A gorgeous vintage, nearly antique, dress with just a bit too much damage to wear. For me it's a particularly sad tale when the dress is one of these airy 1920s bohemian beauties. This lovely dress was clearly well-loved, so much so that the previous owner(s) mended it several times in several places; but this type of gauzy sheer cotton doesn't hold up well to repairs so the damage just kept right on going. Thing is, the bottom of the dress was perfect, just perfect. And so....
I cut it in half. Gasp. Yes. Was it hard to do? You can bet it was. But I had to make this garment live again!
The result? A perfect 1920s gauzy bohemian smocked and embroidered SKIRT! Voila!
And certainly, one can still wear the top of the dress. The skirt will be in the shop soon and whichever lucky gal makes it hers will also get the top because it just seems a shame that they part forever.

Dear Golden Goes Gatsby
It's no real secret that Dear Golden (ok, me!) has a big soft spot for the 1920s so with the release of The Great Gatsby there seemed no better time to put some 1920s frocks in the shop.
Expect these to be available in the coming days!

Carey Mulligan | Vogue | The Great Gatsby
Beauuuuuuuuuuutiful beyond belief photoshoot from Vogue that does the trick whetting the whistle for The Great Gatsby film. Not to mention setting my affinity for 1920s & art deco dresses aflame. Wow.

1920s coats
I am totally, utterly, completely goo-goo ga-ga over 1920s coats. Like when I see them my eyes water and I feel filled with both joy and despair. I want to marry them, eat them, live in them - it's intense. And heartbreaking because they are so rare in the world and if ever there is one available for purchase they certainly aren't cheap, to say the least.
Above are some of my very favorite coats from my 1920s Pinterest - which one do you like best?

Staying In
If December is the month for going out, January is most certainly the month for staying in. I myself have been sick every day of this month and have been doing the lion's share of staying in. Were I not sick I might have lounged in delicates as pretty as these pieces I recently photographed. They will be making their way into the shop through this month and the next - to make your staying in as glamorous as possible, naturally.

A '20s Teaser
You know when you've been putting something off for months, for some mysterious reason, and finally, for some other mysterious reason you get the motivation to tackle that something? Well, that happened to me yesterday. I have been procrastinating photographing a big rack of 1920s dresses, why I don't know; most likely the same reason I was putting off shooting the wedding dresses I recently shot; both take a lot of time, attention and PATIENCE. You can't speed through a vintage wedding dress or 1920s dress photo shoot, you have to move slowly & handle the dresses with much care. Me being a bit of a spaz and always rushing around, I didn't feel like making myself slow down long enough to shoot these beauties. Perhaps it was the relief of the election being over, the fact that I've switched from tea to coffee or the realization that the hours of sunlight will be dwindling fast but yesterday I finished off the wedding dresses AND photographed the rack of 1920s dresses.
With the The Great Gatsby and the holidays around the corner I hope to slowly start stocking the shop with some of these truly lovely jazz age treasures. Now I just have to decide which dresses to add first...decisions, decisions...

1920s Greece in color
As you may or may not know I have a pretty hearty affinity for 1920s-1930s bohemian/folk clothing. It's not easy to find, as one would expect, so that just makes me affection for it even stronger. I love love love these images of Greece in the 1920s, they make me want to put on three of my embroidered skirts, a head scarf & head out to the meadow to pluck olives off some low branches.
