Since not all vintage is created equal, I've been knocking the idea around of creating a special shop or at least special category in the shop for the real vintage gems, the dresses you just won't see much more of in the future; the dresses that literally make you (at least me) cry. Although I don't wear 1920s dresses, I do however, collect them. I am sure at some point I will wear one of them, but I am a late 1930s, early 1940s girl at heart and when it's time to gussy up it's the garments of that era I usually pull out of my closet. But there's something about 1920s dresses that really woo me, they are like art to me and thusly I collect them as an art collect would amass art pieces. Named The Distillery, the dresses I have collected have a special place in my closet where they all mingle together. While the ones below are in my personal collection, I have other 1920s dresses that will show up in the shop near the holidays, but they seem to warrant more than just a listing in the shop, hence The Distillery, where all the goodness of a dress is distilled into one lovely and historical garment...coming soon!
♥ These two are my favorites ♥

What a great idea! And a beautiful collection. Looking forward to seeing more.
And I love that read number with the embroidered collar.
it's always amazing to see pictures of these dresses today, since most of us only know them from black and white photographs!
I would be a little afraid to wear them! agreed they are fantastic pieces of art, love to see dresses like this hanging on the wall.
Wow, that first blue dress just made my heart flutter a little bit!
Ow wow, what gems! Good idea!
what a beautiful idea! it's so hard to wear these fragile pieces, but so lovely to look at, like art! i love it!
I love all those '20s dresses. So lovely. I agree, they are art. It'll be fun to see what you have. Thanks for sharing!
Wow they really are stunning. I like thinking about it as having a little piece of history in your wardrobe.

All gorgeous! I have the same black beaded 20s dress!
That pink and black dress.... gosh it's amazing! 20s style clothes sadly don't suit me, but I wonder if I would feel tempted to buy a dress anyway, just for display...
